While analyzing the material abstract of this new book “The Idea of Europe – An Essay” by George Steiner, it is evident that the European Union seem to be more diversified and divided in its Geo-political, economic, social, religious and cultural identities than ever before. The shocker in recent times has come from the collapse of the Greek economy.
The mute question which made the basis of the angst over this idea remains same for years now and that is “Will a unified Europe remain an economic and political possibility with no greater cultural or affective foundations and If there is something that distinguishes all Europeans, what is it, and how is it being changed by recent events?”. From essays ranging from ancient Greece to the end of twentieth century in earlier books, this time a single essay by renowned author portrays very critically about the real challenges in the time to come. Where bigger Asian Geo-political economies with their distinct cultural identities along with the great American cultural and economic push plays a vital role in making the new world order of the day or not is to be seen now. Only time will witness the idea of Europe it turns into reality in all such adversities.
