The NEW EUROPEAN was founded in 1988 by Sir Richard Body
and the late John Coleman. It is now being carried on by the Knud P. Pedersen Centre for
European Studies; but the focus will be the same: How can we find a way out of the deadlock of our
present situation with war, environmental degradation, increasing inequality and an ever-increasing
democratic deficit?

There is no easy answer.
But the New European was and is convinced that one important key is the issue of size. "Beyond a
given critical size, we simply cease to be masters of out fate," said Leopold Kohr and continued to
quote the sixteenth- century physician Theophrastus Paracelsus: "Everything is poison: it all
depends on the quantity." Or, as another wise person said: "Power is like muck, it should be spread
very evenly".

From this point of view it becomes vital to ask ourselves: where is Europe going? When we
say "Europe", we refer to the entire continent with its 48 nations, not to the European Union which
is aspiring to take over the name of the continent.
