Europe’s vision of world order and its role within it are both influenced by its own integration. Knowing whether the European Union (EU) will assert itself as a centre of power comparable to the United States (US), or if it will become a qualitatively different actor, is a key issue when attempting to outline the future of the international system.
In the course of time, from the Middle Ages to the Baroque era, Western Culture developed its main lineages: Germanic, Italian, French, Iberian and Anglo-Saxon. 8. It is important to note in relation to Huntington, that he identifies at the present time the West with the US, considering as anti-Western any resistance to American hegemony. Such an identification obviously has no basis to it. The US is only a transplanted segment of one of the branches, of Anglo-Saxon lineage, of Western Civilisation, which also includes the Germanic, French, Italian and Iberian branches.
