...architecture of the international financial system, the E.U. is already doing that. On questions of security, like the war in Afghanistan and the risk that the Horn of Africa will become a new center of global terrorism, it's not quite there. Much is going to depend on personnel. If the new President of the E.U. is a person of international stature (as former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, the front-runner for the post, plainly is), able to project Europe's view while convincing the smaller members of the union that their voices count, then Europe is going...
...that reason, progress on women's rights may depend on who succeeds Abdullah. Several royal princes are in line for the throne, and some of them, like the King's powerful half brother, Prince Nayef, are known for their conservative views. But as Saudi leaders try to wean the country's economy off its almost total dependence on oil, and develop new industries, they are bound to find that it makes little sense to keep half the country's human capital cooped up at home.

...Russia and the Rest There are some bright spots on the peacemaking horizon, of course. North Korea has agreed to return to six-party talks on its nuclear program, for example, although progress will depend more on China than on the President of the United States. And President Obama has made concrete progress on peacemaking in that traditional Cold War discipline of arms control with Russia. He's done that, in part, by jettisoning the post-Cold War hubris of his predecessors who acted as if Russia's strategic interests, and its nuclear arsenal, no longer mattered. Instead, the progress...
