A short note on Europe


Since ancient times, Europe and Asia were by convention divided by Bosporus and the Aegean sea. This idiomorphic geography, where "West" and "East" had frequent confrontations being either military, economic, cultural, linguistic or religious was -once- a land of inspiration. Nowadays modern Greece seems to have created controversy and -at least- sparked the most intense economic and political debates worldwide.

Nevertheless this blog is not about Greece. Europe cannot get rid of Greece, exactly as Greece cannot get rid of the Europe or the "West". This blog is mostly about a global vision on European affairs meant cross-border. Not in an internationalistic or globalized way, but rather through a practical and humanitarian point of view.
