A 'Comment is Free' feature in which the author writes that Europe 'is a story that most of the central and western nations of the continent agreed to tell themselves and each other in order to deal with the legacies of the second world war and the cold war. And like all stories, it sustained itself, if not exactly with belief, then at least with a willing suspension of disbelief. The question now is whether it still exists at all, whether 'Europe' has lost its hold on our collective imagination. All the evidence suggests that it has. |
