L. Ladouce: África y los valores universales
- Monday, September 15, 2008
La política mundial actual se inclina hacia la globalización a través de uniones regionales. El sueño americano, por ejemplo, ya no es más el sueño norteamericano, sino el sueño panamericano, porque Dios desea bendecir a todas las Américas. En 2005, el académico Jeremy Rifkin publicó un libro titulado El sueño europeo elogiando a los europeos por el reciente milagro de abolir los límites, por usar una moneda en común, y por crear paz duradera entre antiguos enemigos.
