“Si la UE quiere transformarse en un verdadero actor en el complejo escenario mundial actual necesita actualizar sus estrategias de seguridad y defensa”“La inexistencia de un Consejo de Ministros de Defensa, que la OTAN sí tiene, impide que se adopten acuerdos claros en materia de cooperación militar y de desarrollo de capacidades militares”“Las crisis de Libia, de Siria o de Malí están mostrando que el liderazgo entre los Estados europeos se ha canalizado en políticas nacionales. Los Estados actúan primero, y luego acuden a la UE”

Europe is in the throes of two simultaneous crises: on the one hand, it is suffering from a political crisis, a crisis of leadership, one that has led to constitutional failure; on the other, it is suffering from a loss of identity, a phenomenon that results in cultural relativism. Marcello Pera, Speaker of the Italian Senate and Professor of Philosophy of Science at the University of Pisa, delivered a conference entitled “Strength of Identity” during the course of the FAES Campus 2005, a paper which the FAES Foundation is now publishing. Also known as the co-author of the book Senza Radici (“Without Roots”) alongside Cardinal Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI), Professor Pera urges European culture to proudly recall and reaffirm its origins and its universal democratic principles: freedom, equality and tolerance. In this respect, Europe must recognise the intrinsic value of a civilisation, Western civilisation, that has given the world so many universal ideas. “Europe must be aware of the moral superiority of a series of values that have prevailed over centuries and that have produced beneficial results wherever they have become established”.
