Events in Europe in the year to mid-2012 were dominated by economic and financial problems that threatened to break apart the euro, the common currency used by 17 European nations; the potential disintegration of the currency was generally agreed to spell disaster on a global scale. The risk of a partial or total breakup grew during the year as governments failed to achieve consensus on big, bold solutions and continued to muddle through. The effect of the financial crisis was evident across Europe not only in poor or negative economic growth rates but in the fact that, by mid-2012, ten of the 17 eurozone countries had changed their governments.

Donación de AGERS ; Ponencia presentada en el Foro sobre la Gerencia de Riesgos, Monte Carlo, celebrado en Monte Carlo, 10 al 13 de octubre de 1993 ; European countries appear to have less and less control of their own destinies. They faces illegal immigration and massive currency flows, they have unsatisfactory answers to the threat of large-scale redundancy in farming and manufacturing; they find it hard to prevent companies from relocating to other regions, or to muffle information from transnational television and radio. The challenge, mainly social and cultural but having important military, political and economical aspects as well, deserves two responses. Firstly, we need to unify Europe, Europe has no real alternative to moving forward, seeking to create an influential and responsible entity meeting this challenge collectively in a way that twelve or twenty separate nation-states simply cannot do. Secondly, what we need is an "Open Europe" with less social conflicts

It is argued that Europe isn't the good 'global citizen' it claims to be in that its foreign policy preoccupations tend to internal, and the 'European economy' is better described as a heterogeneous entity than a single movement. The article also takes to task Europe's social model as being unfriendly to immigrants and its health care as being mostly substandard for the insured. Adapted from the source document.
