Abstract
The collapse of the bipolar system was welcomed in the West as terminating the global confrontation of the Western democracies with the world communist movement headed by the Soviet Union, while ushering in a new era of generous economic and political opportunities, particularly for the big industrial nations. For the United States it offered challenges to put to test visions of shaping a novel world order under the leadership of a single superpower. The European Community/European Union could aspire to a less ambitious but equally challenging role of promoting a new European order to the extremities of the old continent.
