Even though the ASEM process continues on autopilot, the Europeans fail to see that they have not won over Asian hearts and minds...
...alternative pole of growth, a model for abolishing wars between neighbors, cultural education and a moral voice for supporting initiatives like the Kyoto Protocol and the International Criminal Court. There are no shortages of opportunities for Europe to provide leader-ship. But, as Copenhagen demonstrated, it may no longer even be in the room when crucial decisions are being made...
