Globalization: G8 needs a gee up
8 July 20091 Presseurop
Hard-hit by the crisis, Lisbon is wooing rich investors from its former colonies. Anyone who invests in the country has a good chance of obtaining a visa — and an open door to the rest of Europe.

More generally, the European press wonders whether the G8 still serves any purpose at all.
