Why Europe Will Run the 21st Century September 13, 2005 / Mark Leonard

Related Regions: European Union / North America
After launching in Europe earlier this year, Mark Leonard's Why Europe Will Run the 21st Century will be released for an American audience on September 13 by New York-based PublicAffairs.  Leonard, currently director of foreign policy for the Center for European Reform, wrote the book while serving as a Transatlantic Fellow with the German Marshall Fund in Washington, DC.
 
Written in part as an answer to Robert Kagan’s Of Paradise and Power, Leonard's book describes the European Union’s strength as a “transformative power” and explains that the driving force of European integration is the rule of law and the EU’s ability to exercise its power peacefully and in a more durable manner than the United States does with its military power.  He argues that the EU’s success will result in a paradigm shift in global power as other regions of the world seek to emulate the EU by creating their own neighborhood clubs.  The 21st century, Leonard predicts, will be one of integrated multi-national structures like the EU, Mercosur, and ASEAN.
