520 _aPerhaps for the first time since 1945, the place of Europe in the world's political order is surrounded by uncertainty. Europeans from East and West are beginning to feel a sense of regional destiny and are actively seeking an alternative to superpower domination and the threat of nuclear destruction. This important new book explores the prospects for a significant shift in the established systems of alliances, both in Europe and beyond, and introduces the concept of 'dealignment', a move away from entrenched positions to build a new global consensus based on respect for pluralism and tolerance of a variety of political and social systems. The authors propose a far greater independence from the United States for Western Europe and examine its implica tions for the alignment of Eastern Europe and the rest of the world.
