Europe, too, embraced the postwar international system. With security outsourced to America, European governments shifted their focus and expenditures to social welfare and set about building a twenty-first-century post-sovereign utopia that has blurred national divisions and replaced aggression and hostility with negotiation and compromise.
欧洲也同样接受了战后的国际体系。因为将安全事务外包给美国，欧洲政府得以把重点转移到社会福利开销上，并着手建立起模糊了国家界限和以谈判妥协替代侵略敌视的二十一世纪后主权时代乌托邦。
