Résumé De quelles instruments la communauté internationale peut-elle se servir pour créer un cadre institutionnel applicable au plan international et pour assurer le respect de ses règles?
Résumé anglais Making a Success of Europe: Bridge-Building, by Johannes Rau Europe is first and foremost a community of values that has to be extended by enlarging the European Union. Its success implies transcending the old doctrinal "trench wars" - notably those between sovereignists and federalists — particularly as today there is surprising unanimity about the political objectives pursued by the European Union. Its institutional structure, on the other hand, calls for a radical reform with a view to a greatly expanded EU. The highly controversial issue of a federation of European states capable of intervening where individual states can no longer do so, must be raised. It does not call into question the importance of a strong nation state with responsibilities in many areas. Europe's responsibility in any case is to take up the économie and social challenges of globalization, particularly by globalizing the social market economy.
