This paper examines the impact of three different scenarios on the evolution of East Central Europe and the Balkans. The first scenario foresees a Europe that is muddling along, not developing into a strong united entity with a cohesive foreign and security policy but not being engulfed by nationalism and protectionism. The second scenarios looks at a Europe that is becoming fragmented and inward-looking. The third scenario foresees Europe emerging as a strong, united entity, one capable of being a genuine partner for the United States.
