| | Europe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Europe is geologically and geographically a peninsula or subcontinent, forming the westernmost part of Eurasia. | | | Having lived side-by-side with agricultural peoples for millennia, Europe's animals and plants have been profoundly affected by the presence and activities of man. With the exception of Scandinavia and northern Russia, few areas of untouched wilderness are today to be found in Europe, except for different natural parks. | | | Almost all of Europe was possibly settled before or during the last ice age ca. |

| | European Arrogance and Weakness Dictate Coalitions of the Willing |
| | A more united Europe was necessary to "build counterweights" to combat "the risk of hegemony." Any thought that classical balance-of-power thinking was no longer relevant in today's global environment ought to be put to rest by any vague scrutiny of the French government's rationale for a more coherent Europe. | | | Presently, the UK stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the U.S.; Germany's militant pacifists are against any type of military involvement, be it sanctioned by the UN or not; and France holds a wary middle position, stressing that any use of military force must emanate from UN Security Council deliberations. | | | Across the continent, Gaullism was clearly on the rise at the end of the 1990s. |

| | AEI - Short Publications |
| | Europe considers nationalism the main cause of its troubled past: it bloodied the continent until the defeat of Nazism gave way--no doubt under the benign protection of the American umbrella--to a post-nationalist European Union where war is forever banned and peaceful trade and diplomacy have become the sole instruments of power relations in the world. | | | This view is reinforced by influential intellectual trends in the advanced world that deny the legitimacy of nationalism altogether as an atavistic concept. | | | Muslim immigrants have no incentive to develop an allegiance to their home countries in Europe because Europe discourages that behavior and the general social tendency is to denigrate nationalism and patriotism as forms of reactionary and dangerous ideologies. |

| | In year 2000 and based on a total of 98 countries in the world, Africa represents 15% in the distribution of privatization by region, with Europe, 35%, the Americas, 24%, the Asia Pacific, 20% and the Arab States counting for 6%. | | | Comparing this to all of the low-income countries, (which house 50 percent of the world's population and 10 percent of the telephone lines), the penetration of phone lines on the sub-continent is about 5 times worse than the 'average' low income country. | | | Operated by the Egyptian Radio and Television Union (ERTU), the country's national broadcaster, Nilesat's coverage extends as far south as northern parts of Chad, Sudan, Eritrea and Ethiopia (as well as from Morocco in the west to the Arabian Gulf in the east). |

| | There are also parts of the continent, such as the three EAC states and the countries bordering South Africa, where more developed regional commerce exists. | | | None of the major southern ethnic groups would be particularly comfortable in a country dominated by one of the others. | | | This is a first step, before that happens there must be democratic states that pose these questions and get the mandate to do what Venezuela and Bolivia are trying to do in their own countries. |

| | The rest of the continent, that is Western Australia, was formally claimed by the United Kingdom in 1829. | | | During the "gold rush" of the late 19th century, the convicts and their descendants were rapidly overshadowed by hundreds of thousands of free settlers from many different countries: for example, in the 1850s about two per cent of the combined populations of Britain and Ireland emigrated to New South Wales and Victoria. | | | Australia is often referred to by economists as the "world's farm", but despite this emphasis on the agriculture sector, in recent years the Australian government has been focusing on the tourism, education and technology markets. |
