It would seem so. The United Kingdom, Belgium, France, Italy, and former Soviet Bloc countries have experienced ethnic or religious disturbances, sometimes violent. Greece, Ireland, and Spain are menaced by financial crises. And the euro is in trouble.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe End of the West\u003c\/i\u003e, David Marquand, a former member of the British Parliament, argues that Europe's problems stem from outdated perceptions of global power, and calls for a drastic change in European governance to halt the continent's slide into irrelevance.

Marquand contends that as China, India, and other nations rise, Europe must abandon ancient notions of an enlightened West and a backward East.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHe calls for Europe's leaders and citizens to confront the painful issues of ethnicity, integration, and economic cohesion, and to build a democratic and federal structure.
