ABSTRACT

Not since the 1940s has there been such comprehensive scope for uncertainty within and about Europe. Who knows what the map will look like by the turn of the century; what political structures and alignments will operate; what will be the pattern of economic performance; whose visions of the best way to run a society will prevail? It is with this last facet of uncertainty, exemplified in terms from the most general to the most particular, that the present volume is concerned.
