摘要

"This is my grandfather's axe," as a Polish saying has it. "My father changed the blade, and I have changed the handle." Almost everything about the European Union has changed since it was first put together. The six founding countries are outnumbered threefold by those who have joined since. There is no longer a communist threat from the east, uniting western Europe against it, with America at its back. There is no credible threat or expectation of war anywhere in Europe, save perhaps for the fear of civil conflict in the Balkans or Moldova.,Of course history must be remembered, for fear that it may be repeated. But the question now is what the EU can do for its citizens in the future, not what it has done for them in the past. And from there it is a short step to asking whether the Union can hold together at all.
