WELCOME TO A MILESTONE ISSUE OF EUROPE’S WORLD
journal’s launch in 2005, and it is in many
ways a landmark issue. It has more pages
and more authors, and with its special section
on “The Next Fifty” tries to look further ahead
than ever.
with the pioneer pollsters whose company name
has become a popular generic term for opinion
sampling in general.
We are aiming to harness for Europe’s World the
expertise of Gallup, which currently carries out
the Flash Eurobarometer surveys. Where
appropriate, we will in every issue be
complementing some articles with poll findings
that shed sometimes unexpected light on the
topic being discussed. We’ve called the new
series “Matters of Opinion”, not least because in
Europe’s policy debate it is public opinion that
really matters most.
In line with this year’s celebration of the 50th
anniversary of the Treaty of Rome, we’ve asked a
number of senior European figures to speculate
on the policy challenges and pitfalls of the coming
half-century. It may sound like an invitation to do a
little crystal ball-gazing, but true to form our authors
have come up with predictions and prescriptions
based on their own informed analysis.
The major innovation, though, is that this journal
now comes in both English and French-language
editions, Thanks to a new partnership with the
Fondation Robert Schuman in Paris, and with the
support of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at the
Quai d’Orsay, Europe’s World is now also published
in French.
The most striking feature of Europe’s World ,
meanwhile, is one that anyone reading this printed
copy of the journal may well be unaware of. From
its launch issue two years ago, Europe’s World
embraced the Internet as the means to reach out
to as wide a readership as possible. Each issue of
the journal is distributed electronically by the 66
think tanks and NGOs across Europe grouped in
our Advisory Board. The result is that our English
version readership now stands at 105,000 people,
with the new French edition due to add a further
25,000 readers.
It’s an important step, because although the
widespread use of English amongst policymakers
everywhere has ensured Europe’s World a pan-
European and even global readership, our French
edition will make it more accessible still. And it
also seems clear that in Europe the next few
years are to be marked by a re-assertion of
French influence and involvement in the EU’s
policymaking process.
It is, though we say it ourselves, a significant
example of how information technology can
be allied with a policy journal that has neither
national nor party political ties, to create a truly
international cross-border debate on Europe’s
future and its role in our fast-changing world.
The Fondation Robert Schuman has been
joined, meanwhile, by another new Europe’s World
publishing partner − Gallup. Because the shifts
and nuances of public opinion are such an
essential component of democratic politics – and
all the more so in the complex world of the EU
– we at Europe’s World welcome our collaboration
