EU lethargy and growing irrelevance in global public affairs owes much to Eurocentric political atavism. One potential benefit of the Copenhagen debacle could be that it forces the Union to wake up to the new world of the twenty-first century.
可以看出，欧盟在全球公共事务方面的懈怠和日益的疏离，其实是源自于那种以欧洲为中心的政治老观念。而哥本哈根惨败的其中一个潜在的好处，就是能够迫使欧盟在 21 世纪的新世界里幡然醒悟过来。
