TextPublisher: [S.l.] : I. B. Tauris, 2004Description: 240 p. ; 22 cmISBN: 1860648436 (hardcover); 9781860648434 (hardcover)DDC classification: 320.9409045 Online resources: Amazon.com Summary: Even before Donald Rumsfeld's infamous "Old Europe" gibe, Europe's divergence from America on issues like war with Iraq and trade competition has become increasingly ill-tempered. With the Euro successfully launched and a European army a real prospect, Europe is now a recognizable political entity on the world scene. A population of over 300 million and the world's largest economy have already turned the EU into a super-power, but it is now on the verge of being a super-state. Haseler examines why the new European super-state has emerged, how it will inevitably rival the United States and how America is reacting to this new world player. Super-State explores what this new EU super-state means for the citizens of Europe and their attitudes to America, looking specifically at how a eurosceptic Britain will fit into this new structure.
