Frigates, tanks and submarines: Greece may be teetering on the brink, but the bite of austerity hasn’t come near its military. And Germany is profiting from it. 
In the wake of a terrible year in 2011, the worst may be yet to come warns political analyst José Ignacio Torreblanca. The crisis could force EU member states to choose between Greece and Great Britain. And once again, everything will be decided in Germany. 
For young Europeans from crisis stricken states, booming Australia has become a new land of opportunity. This is especially true for a new generation of Greek graduates, joining the largest expatriate Greek community in the world. 
The murder of two Senegalese traders in Florence is the latest manifestation of an upsurge of hatred in Europe. With the Utøya massacre, the vehement reactions to the Greek crisis, British isolationism and the rise of the extreme right, this trend has many forms — all of them equally alarming. 
The politicians of Europe love to flourish the flag of Community togetherness. But in their day-to-day politicking they give the lie to their supposed virtues. Die Zeit has compiled a cheat-sheet of national egotisms that are harming the Community. 
Jürgen Habermas has had enough. The philosopher is doing all he can these days to call attention to what he sees as the demise of the European ideal. He hopes he can help save it -- from inept politicians and the dark forces of the market. 
In a country destabilised by the crisis, the 3rd Athens Biennale contemporary art festival has been largely overlooked. However, a Swedish journalist argues that the exhibition offers an opportunity to appreciate the urgency of the moment. 
A family with strict parents, black sheep and tough love: that’s today’s Europe, says an editor at Die Zeit, who sends out a call to defend the historically unprecedented culture of solidarity. 
Political changes in Greece, Italy and Spain have highlighted how European leaders have upset the balance of power between society and the state and politics and the economy. French philospher Etienne Balibar points out that these developments have overlooked the role of citizens. 
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. 
The appointments of non-politicians Lucas Papademos and Mario Monti in Greece and Italy has caused much ink to flow. But on the continent, experts have often played a positive role in politics in times of deep crisis, points out a Guardian editor. 
Mario Monti, Lucas Papademos and Mario Draghi have something in common: they have all worked for the American investment bank. This is not a coincidence, but evidence of a strategy to exert influence that has perhaps already reached its limits. 
Gathered around Angela Merkel and Nicolas Sarkozy, a small group of unelected EU officials have been assigned the task of governing the eurozone and removing leaders who fail to toe the line, writes the British conservative weekly The Spectator. 
The arrival of technocratic governments in Greece and Italy may well calm jittery markets, but could also help boost populist political parties who point to the democratic deficit at the heart of the EU, argues Gideon Rachman. 
Efforts to save the euro cannot run against the will of the voters indefinitely, writes Charlemagne of the Economist. 
In Athens and in Rome, the crisis has swept away elected leaders, replacing them with technocrats whose main mission is to implement austerity plans demanded by Brussels and the markets, which their predecessors were unable to apply. 
A network of corrupt clans control key sectors of Greek economy, and stand to profit most from the country’s continued disarray, writes the author of McMafia. 
In Bucharest and in Athens, the exacerbation of the economic crisis has undermined public tolerance for the privileges enjoyed by the Orthodox Church. If things do not change, warns România Liberă, the organisation runs the risk of paying a heavy cultural tribute. 
The 6 November agreement on the formation of a government to be supported by both the left and right has temporarily put an end to the crisis prompted by the idea of organising a referendum on the Greek bailout. However, most of the problems faced by the Greek population will remain unresolved. 
The EU leadership’s obsession with political and economic federation is the source of the current crisis rocking the eurozone, writes columnist Marek Magierowski. 
What if Greece leaves the EU? Professor George Prevelakis argues that it is an eventuality that would prompt a new geopolitical upset in the Balkans. As for the EU, it would be forced to acknowledge its inability to “Europeanise” a member state of 30 years standing. 
France and Germany have been largely responsible for thwarting Greek PM George Panpandreou’s decision to hold a referendum on its EU/IMF bailout. A naked display of power that bodes ill for a union of equals.
