| Summary/Abstract |
Populations throughout the developed world are aging and shrinking, with dire consequences. Yet decline is not inevitable. Even in the industrialized world, governments can encourage childbearing through policies that let women reconcile work and family.

| Summary/Abstract |
When French voters rejected the proposed EU constitution last year, they revealed a profound lack of confidence not just in Europe, but in France itself. Long the driver of European integration, Paris these days can barely steer its own ship of state. Jacques Chirac is a big part of the problem. But France's troubles run deeper.

| Summary/Abstract |
The Arab Spring may be a historical turning point similar to the revolutions that swept Europe in 1848. The latter also began as a seemingly invincible wave demanding democratic reforms but turned into inglorious struggles with uncertain outcomes. They reshaped the map of Europe by replacing multinational empires with the relatively new concept of nationalism as the defining principle of governance. The Arab Spring of 2011 could do the same in the Middle East, where states are still defined according to the imperial principles laid out in World War I secret agreements. If 1848 proves anything, it is that the significance of great revolutionary upheavals emerges long after the barricades have been torn down. The year 1848 was not so much an end as a beginning; it is too early to tell how the Arab Spring will end.

| Summary/Abstract |
If some French Muslims are not well integrated in French society and are ambivalent about their relationship with the Republic, much of the reason lies in long-term historical and social factors. These factors cannot be dismissed as mere history - they continue to shape attitudes and behavior.

| Summary/Abstract |
The result of the Trump administration has been a return of the idea that Europe needs to be capable of defending itself in case the United States can no longer be counted on. Shouldn’t Europe have its own grand strategy and the means to pursue it?

| Summary/Abstract |
Europe's Golden Age-an unprecedented period of peace, social stability, and prosperity that followed World War II-may be coming to an end. The very foundations of the European edifice have trembled at times in the last two years; even now, a worst-case scenario of collapse of the European project is not impossible. But if, as expected, Europe as we know it muddles through the Eurocrisis, it will not be the same. It will not be as happy and peaceful a place as before. In hindsight, the European settlement after World War II may not have constituted the beginning of a new European epoch, but a particularly auspicious chapter that is now closing. What remains to be seen is what might take its place. History is returning to Europe.
