Synopsis The demise of the Soviet Union saw the rise of the United States of America as a hegemonic superpower, militarily and economically. It also made possible the loose alliance of nations known as the European Union. In THE UNITED STATES OF EUROPE, T. R. Reid assesses the state of that union and its implications for the U.S. As new nations join, the E.U. is evolving into a formidable entity in terms of population and aggregate economic power. Its currency, the euro, is fast becoming a world standard, and its member nations include many new and energetic corporations that are potential rivals for markets that U.S. corporations thought were theirs. Just what is the European Union and how does it function? Is it a partner, a rival, or just another player in the international game of the 21st century, whose rules are changing fast? And what will be its political role? Reid provides everything Americans need to know about the European Union in order to engage with it effectively.
