Quadriga - Nobel Peace Prize - A Boost for Europe?

As it continues to struggle with a devastating economic crisis, the European Union has been awarded the 2012 Nobel Peace Prize. With the selection, the Nobel Committee is striking a counterblow to the bloc’s critics. Chairman Thorbjørn Jagland emphasized that the "historic” prize had perspectives that were both "current and long-term.”
