Investigates the work of Italian literary figure & diplomat Roberto Ducci (1944-1984). As an ideal representation of "humanitas," Ducci described the perfect ambassador as "serious, charming, intelligent, & imaginative." Ducci's vision for Europe was a united federated state, with a unified foreign & economic policy in the global perspective. As Italy's ambassador to Yugoslavia & Austria, Ducci's attitude toward the nuclear nonproliferation treaty revealed his understanding of a unified Europe consisting primarily of a Franco-English supremacy, by virtue of their nuclear arsenal. In the early 1980s, Ducci continued to write about defense & European-US relations, but voiced disappointment with European rejection of various approaches to economic & political unity. J. Sadler

Discusses European reaction & unified action to the tragic events of 11 Sept. One consequence of the events important for the future of Europe is the progressive transformation of transatlantic relations & the subsequent reconfiguration of NATO activities. Although US President George W. Bush seized the occasion to further affirm US control in the post-Cold War era, the European powers -- with the exception of GB -- have failed to agree on a specific course of action in addressing terrorism. Aside from committing to an international peacekeeping force, NATO & the UN have remained detached from the US reaction. Because of its relative inaction, Europe has undoubtedly compromised its authority & international prestige. A call is made for alternative solutions to the Treaty of Maastricht & its provisions for reinforced collaboration in defense issues. J. Sadler
