Europe's Future - The Return Of Nationalism? | Quadriga

Europe's Future - The Return Of Nationalism? The mood in Europe is turning sour. The financial crisis - and its effects on countries like Greece, Portugal, Spain and Italy - are destroying faith in the European Union. Forced cuts, unemployment, poverty and fear for the future mean old prejudices are resurfacing. Irritation, envy and hostility to neighbouring countries are increasing. Germans are once again being seen as Nazis, Greeks as dishonest, and others as lazy. The European project threatens to collapse acrimoniously. Why are different nations drifting apart? What is stopping them from working together to overcome the crisis? Are differences of approach just too great to be overcome? Have the bureaucrats in Brussels failed to take into account the importance of national feelings? What do you think? Europe's Future - The Return Of Nationalism? Email us at: Quadriga@dw.de
