Vocabulary Of The Day(FEB 23rd Hindu Editorial)
TOPIC-1:Referendum
gamble for Britain.
British Prime Minister David Cameron
wants London to stay in and out of the European Union (EU) all at the same
time, and his counterparts would let it be. Regardless of the result in the
June 23 in-out referendum on the question
of the U.K.’s EU membership, the difficult and delicate deal stitched together among the leaders of the
28-member bloc carries immense diplomatic
significance and value for its near future. The slogan of ever-closer
integration in Europe may have carried some romantic appeal in a world
recovering from the ravages of the two
great wars. It may not be so compelling
any longer. The enlargement of the original bloc of six countries into what is
today a gigantic transnational entity of
28 is forcing the leaders of as many sovereign
states to confront, from their individual
perspectives, the cumulative and complex realities of competing
nationalisms. As for Britain, the question whether it should stay or leave the
EU has overshadowed the better part of the forty-plus years of its membership
since 1973. Now, in the midst of the influx of
immigrants in their millions from North
Africa and West Asia, the U.K. feels the urgency to define its equation with
the rest of the bloc in more precise
terms. “Live and let live,” Mr. Cameron told his counterparts in Brussels, as
he secured safeguards for the minority of non-eurozone states, significant in
view of London’s large financial services industry.
