Asian Centaury is Yet to Come


Why is Europe able to manage its decline, while Asia is (still) unable to capitalize (on) its successes

by Anis H. Bajrektarevic-Dec 27, 2016

( December 27, 2016, Vienna, Sri Lanka Guardian) How to draw the line between the recent and still unsettled EU/EURO crisis and Asia’s success story? Well, it might be easier than it seems: Neither Europe nor Asia has any alternative. The difference is that Europe well knows there is no alternative – and therefore is multilateral. Asia thinks it has an alternative – and therefore is strikingly bilateral, while stubbornly residing enveloped in economic egoisms. No wonder that Europe is/will be able to manage its decline, while Asia is (still) unable to capitalize its successes. Asia clearly does not accedpt any more the lead of the post-industrial and post-Christian Europe, but is not ready for the post-West world.
