We've got to demonstrate why European unity and integration, our vast single market, our single currency, equip us with the strength to embrace globalization.

Firstly, people take for granted that the E.U. has created the biggest economic space in the world.

I believe that if you treat China as an enemy, then it is likely to become one.

Too often we think we can act without explaining and take decisions without justifying them.

If the constitutional treaty is rejected it will be back to square one, just at a time when we want Europe to be a more effective force for good in the world, when we need to buttress ourselves against the pressures and insecurities of globalization.

Having viewed Europe as an extension and projection of itself, France now finds Europe developing a mind and identity of its own which embraces France but is not controlled by France.

The markets don't like instability and they don't like uncertainty.

I do not share the half-in, half-out attitude to the EU of some in Britain. Britain's place is in Europe.

In my experience of these things, parties which shout about dirty tricks and the like tend to do so because they fear a direct hit in some vulnerable part of their political anatomy.

Instead of saying that globalization is a fact, that it's inevitable, we've also got to demonstrate that while the growing interdependence of the world economy is indeed a fact, it's not uncontrollable.

We've got to demonstrate why European unity and integration, our vast single market, our single currency, equip us with the strength to embrace globalization.

I certainly believe that we gain through open trade and liberalisation.

I'm a fighter, not a quitter.

I think Europe is going in the right direction and we shouldn't be set back.

Of course, the EU is not going to fall apart, but at best it will stagnate for the foreseeable future and we will be dealing with quite a lot of internal chaos.

Europe has to address people's needs directly and reflect their priorities, not our own preoccupations.

What is most important for Europe is economic growth and jobs, security at home and safety in the world.

They want to derail peace because they want to plunge Northern Ireland back into armed conflict.

It's a very good idea that we have a third term Labour government led by Tony Blair for a full term.

What we have to do is reinvent the idea of Europe.

In the space of a decade, China and India have emerged as dramatic, dynamic competitors.

I hesitated, too, because for better or worse, I have been one of the principal architects of New Labour and I have worked closely with Tony Blair and the team for nearly 20 years.

I have moved on from being a British parliamentarian, I have moved on from being a New Labour politician, I have moved on from being the supporter in the active day-to-day sense of Tony Blair.

The last thing we need is to turn in on ourselves rather than face us up to what we have to do in the world.

I understand why the Tories will be gunning for Alastair Campbell because they fear his campaigning skills.

For too long, decisions have been taken behind closed doors - tablets of stone have simply been past down to people without bothering to involve people, listen to their views or give them information about what we are doing and why.

I'm optimistic that we are actually seeing the opportunity of a generation being created in this.

Essentially we need a new social consensus for economic reform as New Labour has achieved in Britain.

In the US, most progressives start to see the differences between internationalism and economic globalization.

Globalization presumes sustained economic growth. Otherwise, the process loses its economic benefits and political support.

This is a basic requirement the meaning of globalization is that we should admit that the economy of each country is dependent on the economy of all the others.

Well, we see an increasingly weaker labor movement as a result of the overall assault on the labor movement and as a result of the globalization of capital.

We also have a cultural phenomenon: the emergence of a global culture, or of cultural globalization.

In too many instances, the march to globalization has also meant the marginalization of women and girls. And that must change.

Lest those islands still seem to you too remote in space and time to be relevant to our modern societies, just think about the risks... of our increasing globalization and increasing worldwide economic interdependence.

Outsourcing and globalization of manufacturing allows companies to reduce costs, benefits consumers with lower cost goods and services, causes economic expansion that reduces unemployment, and increases productivity and job creation.

Today in the era of globalization there is no such issue as borders between states of the same nation.

The war on terrorism has made national security a legitimate concern, and a rising deficit, changes brought on by globalization and even the price of oil have thrown the nation's economic health into question.

Globalization has changed us into a company that searches the world, not just to sell or to source, but to find intellectual capital - the world's best talents and greatest ideas.

If the constitutional treaty is rejected it will be back to square one, just at a time when we want Europe to be a more effective force for good in the world, when we need to buttress ourselves against the pressures and insecurities of globalization.

The threat to globalization is not the wasted American dollars but Washington's readiness to mix US commercial interests with its self-appointed role as global protector.

Contagion has become very much a phenomenon, and it's a phenomenon of globalization.

If you're totally illiterate and living on one dollar a day, the benefits of globalization never come to you.

People have accused me of being in favor of globalization. This is equivalent to accusing me of being in favor of the sun rising in the morning.

Reliable data on the outsourcing of American jobs is sorely missing from the debate on globalization.

It is people who are the objects of globalization and at the same time its subjects. What also follows logically from this is that globalization is not a law of nature, but rather a process set in train by people.

For globalization to work for America, it must work for working people. We should measure the success of our economy by the breadth of our middle class, and the scope of opportunity offered to the poorest child to climb into that middle class.

Instead of saying that globalization is a fact, that it's inevitable, we've also got to demonstrate that while the growing interdependence of the world economy is indeed a fact, it's not uncontrollable.

NAFTA recognizes the reality of today's economy - globalization and technology. Our future is not in competing at the low-level wage job; it is in creating high-wage, new technology jobs based on our skills and our productivity.
