The United States of the West is a political union satirically advocated by French writer, philosopher, social commentator, and self-proclaimed mediologist, Régis Debray (born 1940), in his short essay entitled, "Empire 2.0: A Modest Proposal for a United States of the West by Xavier de C * * *." ==Synopsis== ''Empire 2.0'' is presented as a fictitious letter sent to Debray from an old acquaintance, a French expatriate named Xavier de C * * *, who is writing to him from America in October 2001, in the immediate aftermath of the 9/11 attacks. The essay was first published in France in 2002, as ''L'Edit de caracalla.'' In ''Empire 2.0'', Debray's fictitious acquaintance, Xavier de C * * *, argues that the political enfranchisement of Europe by the United States of America and the official consolidation of the West into an enlarged United States of the West, is the best solution to confronting the current ideological threats and political challenges the West faces from radical Islam, international terrorism, competition for finite resources and responsible resource management, as well as population decline, and would be the only effective safeguard against any future claims to a "Confucian" or Asian empire, asserted by an ascendant, militarized, and aggressive China. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「United States of the West」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
