Europe Must Make Multilateralism a Reality
Chris Patten, Chancellor of Oxford (in French) | December 4, 2008
Europe may well come to regret the multilateralism it has been longing for from the US now that it is finally on the horizon. ++ European responses are uncertain should Obama call for funds, troops, and solidarity. ++ The EU should show willingness to intervene in the Congo. ++ Privileged European voting rights in the IMF should be rescinded to better reflect global GDP. ++ By putting into practice the multilateralism which it claims to so desperately desire, the EU will get off to a good start with the next US administration.
