Nothing better than an enemy to forge a common identity. But the adage of the nineteenth century doesn’t quite fit the current crisis. Only by changing their relationship to power can Europeans unite and overcome the crisis, says a Czech editorialist.
As the West stews in stagnation, emerging economies are on the rise – and driving prices of raw materials and fuel to perilous highs. As they now set the pace of the global economy, Europe, stymied by cutbacks and unemployment, is in for hard times ahead.
An efficient diplomatic service is not enough: EU's member states are still lacking a coherent common foreign policy, writes Gazeta Wyborcza.
Having lagged behind an American cultural superpower for decades, the European mainstream now faces competition from the cultural products of China, India, and Brazil. A book published in France warns that Europe has been increasingly marginalized in the soft war to capture the popular imagination.
The good news is that from Asia to the Americas, an increasing number of countries are coming together to create unions inspired by the EU. And the bad news? In the long term these entities may overshadow the EU on the world stage, worries Polish weekly Wprost.
Even before the curtain rises on the Copenhagen Climate Conference on 7 December, the world is already warring over emissions targets. And Brussels is brandishing some fateful figures in its bid to lead the global crusade against greenhouse gases.
If and when definitively ratified, the Lisbon treaty should give the EU the means to achieve its current political and economic agenda. But it will have to pool its forces and try new approaches if it is to hold its own against the growing powerhouses of the East, foresees Foreign Policy editor Moisés Naím in El País.

For El País, Europe's global influence is now based on soft power, which cannot adequately replace the hard power of a real common defence policy.
Since becoming a member of the EU, Romania has attracted waves of African, Indian, Afghan and Iraqi immigrants. Hailing from Somalia, Kasim thought he was on his way to Germany when unscrupulous traffickers dumped him deep in the heart of the Romanian countryside...
The European Union used to be the major partner for African governments, but it has increasingly lost ground to China, Russia and India, which now leads the race to take advantage of the continent's precious resources.
European customs often seize medicines bound for developing countries on the basis of suspected violation of patent rights. Humanitarian organisations denounce this practice which, they argue, benefits pharmaceutical companies to the detriment of the world's poor.
