The article examines the various stages of migration flows, from temporary labour migration to permanent settlements and shows the gradual construction of the Muslim problem in Europe and
the emergence of far-right anti-Muslim parties. It tackles the issue of radicalisation of some young European Muslims and discusses the de-radicalisation policies adopted by European States. The
message which the article tries to convey is simple: 25 million Muslims are settling in Europe, and their number will increase in the years to come. Those young Muslims who engage in radicalisation and terrorism constitute a very tiny minority which suffers from an identity rupture and is in search of a ‘mission’. Given this reality, European States should do their utmost to avoid stigmatisation of all Muslims, to clearly define the root causes of radicalisation in order to devise the adequate strategies of de-radicalisation, and to further the socio-economic integration of Muslims populations in Europe. In their vast majority, Muslims in Europe are attached to their new home countries. They do not see themselves as ‘Muslims in Europe’ but as ‘European Muslims’.
Although, often, they consider that they are not perceived and treated as full-fledged citizens.

‘The lost decade of Latin America’ is a term referring to the crisis which hit that area in the last century due to its delayed entry into the world economy. The main cause of that condition was the
burden of a huge external debt. Regional cooperation among the countries of Mercosur and Andean Pact is slowing. A ‘Long Chinese March’ has been marked by investment in vast impressive projects and extensive trading in commodities. The framework of the area, as a whole, shows progressive governments in power.

The article analyzes the role of Germany in Europe, retracing the steps of the rediscovered main role of the German Federal Republic after the fall of the Berlin Wall. After November 9th, 1989
and the subsequent reunification, the fear of reunified Germany was widespread among Europe’s political leaders of the time. Despite the resentment, the Berlin government made a European and pro-Western choice. Over the past quarter of a century, however, the European economic and geopolitical balance has changed. After a phase of normalization, Germany has once again
become a power center.
