Abstract: 

    EuroEuroeEurope has long perceived itself as the center of the world (it even referred to itself as the “first world”). Today, in the age of globalization, Europe is well aware of the changed nature of the geopolitical situation, and few will continue to claim a Eurocentric worldview. As the world now looks with a different eye to Europe, so are the European perceptions of the world changing.
