About this title

Synopsis

Perhaps for the first time since 1945, the place of Europe in the world political order is surrounded by uncertainty. Europeans from East to West are beginning to feel a sense of regional destiny and are actively seeking an alternative to superpower domination and the threat of nuclear destruction. This book explores the prospects for a signifcant shift in the established systems of alliances, both in Europe and beyond, and introduces the concept of 'dealignment', suggesting a move away from entrenched positions to build a new global consensus based on respect for pluralism and tolerance of a variety of political and social systems. It proposes a far greater independence from the United States for Western Europe, and examines its implications for the alignment of Eastern Europe and the rest of the world.
