Turkey and Europe: Kurd Terrorist Leader Trapped
The odyssey of the Kurd leader Abdullah Ocalan came to an end when the Turkish secret service kidnapped him on February 16th in Nairobi, Kenya. Reaction of the Kurdish minorities spread all over Europe and the Middle East already caused dozens of victims. European politicians showed themselves very concerned about the disorders and the risks of the forthcoming trial, which could end with a death penalty and the execution of the Kurd leader. Meanwhile in Ankara, prime minister Bulent Ecevit has bettered his prospects for the forthcoming elections in April. But after the elections Turkey's leaders would be wise to be lenient with their prominent prisoner.

Monetary: Euro Makes the World Go Round?
The euro is going to be the new European currency starting January 1st 1999 and it could be a revolution ... While the European Central Bank (ECB), under the presidency of Wim Duisenberg is preparing to step into action as the new guardian of monetary stability, some European governments are showing considerable nervousness. The politicians of the new center left governments in Germany, France and Italy seem to consider the bankers' independence a threat to their expansive economic programs. After their electoral successes, the European socialists, led by the German finance minister Oskar Lafontaine (SPD), are trying to overthrow the politics of austerity and financial rigor in favor of a new Keynesian demand side oriented economic policy. Meanwhile, the central bankers are bracing themselves for resistance.

Europe's New Economy: Competition by Integration
Twenty months after its start the new Euro currency's reputation is not at its best. In less than two years its cross rate against the Dollar has lost more than 25%. Thus Wim Duisenberg of the ECB has clearly lost the first round in the challenge between the world’s most powerful central bankers. But the economy in Euroland might be better than it seems. Thanks to the progress in integration, growth rates are rising beyond expectations. Important financial reforms are underway in Germany and France and will soon develop their positive impact on private demand. Even on the stock markets Europe has finally found an answer to the NASDAQ challenge, creating its own circuit of most dynamic “New Markets” for technology shares. Started in 1997, the New Market has received an enthusiastic welcome by investors and is now present in six countries with over 400 companies. The Swedish OM Gruppen´s bid on the London Stock Exchange is another surprising episode in the process that sees Europe’s major financial places preparing to merge into one or two integrated stock exchanges. Thanks to the effects of integration, competition is growing for companies as well as for governments, producing benefits for consumers and citizens. Thus the next decade in world economy could as well be a European one.
