Abstract

In Europe and the United States, the financial crisis has caused significant effects on the organization of State finances and, as a consequence, on the politics of power. Backed by the public opinion, the “welfare state” has been privileged over the “warfare state”. Thus, the United States has started a process of withdrawal from the international theatre, while Europe does not seem to have the resources and the willingness to take on new geopolitical responsibilities. The bridge which connects the two sides of the Atlantic rests on two unstable pillars. If not reversed, the flow of power exiting from the West, could then change the equation of the global balance of power with radical consequences for the current world order.
