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.

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
