The three articles of "Post American Europe" are now available:
In the first article, I examine the historical roots of the European Union (EU): Europe was an ecology of competing, often warring jurisdictions that, after the Second World War, were integrated into the American Pax Democratica. Our generational challenge is to maintain the greatest American legacy: the EU.
In the second article, the complex governance of the EU is characterised as a nomocracy, a harmonising and consociational confederacy which is less efficient but more robust than the other large international actors. Minimalistic institutional reform is proposed to strengthen European democracies in the age of populism.
The final instalment proposes policies to address technological dependency and the foreign policy stance of the post-American Europe: technological sovereignty, competition reform, and a renewed liberal order in Europe's near abroad:
Very interesting and reflective thoughts, keeping in mind the current debates and trends. What do you think about decentralisation as regarding cryptocurrencies and blockchains in relation to the current laws in the EU?
I am a great fan of blockchain technologies for digital signatures and cibersecurity. (they allow for compartimenzation of data systems, perhaps for credible digital voting...).
Regarding cryptocurrencies, all use cases I know about are "ilegal activity". Sometimes, when the laws are wrong, this can be a good use, but still, an entire technology whose main use is breaking the law has some scalability problems...
Pardon me, but why does France not know the difference between antisemitism and anti-Zionism? Israel is guilty of genocide. Not Jewish around the world. Just Israel.
