Summary/Abstract: In the aftermath of the Cold War, European Unification seemed to hold the promise of making the continent into a civil superpower – an attractive model of interstate cooperation, interdependence, social cohesion and democratic governance. Twenty years later, these forward looking assumptions have been disconfirmed by sharpening national fragmentation, exclusionary immigration policies, intolerance towards ethnic and religious minorities, and a persistent democratic deficit. Brought into sharp focus by the world economic crisis, this set of problems result in a diminishing voice for Europe in world affairs.
