By Mark Leonard
A British Euro-enthusiast, Leonard believes that Europe can best lay the template for a new world order made of multiple regional powers. Already, he argues, the EU is becoming the powerful model the United States once was: China owes much to the lessons in regional integration it learned from Europe. For Europeans, this makes for comforting reading. Yet on issues such as the Constitution, Leonard's confidence in Europe's destiny can be hard to reconcile with the indifference of so many of its citizens.
