 Hoover Institution - Policy Review - A "Concert of Asia"?
Given that the Concert of Europe had as much to do with the suppression of domestic disorder as the preservation of peace between its members, the doubtful relevance of the idea to Asia is at once clear.
The fact is that the expectation of a concert system, as practiced in nineteenth century Europe, was that in the face of a regime change or any alteration in the regional order, the ultimate logic of the concert is that it must always be prepared to reinstate the status quo ante.
The example of the Concert of Europe from which it draws sustenance was a regressive construct that inhibited change and arguably contributed to the later convulsions in the European order.

 RAND | Papers | Union or Concert in Europe?
In spite of evidence that Western Europe has already found a fairly steady political format, the notion persists that it is on the way to forming a political union.
In fact, Western Europe has formed an informal alliance system of autonomous states--a flexible European concert that can join and negotiate with the United States, the Soviet Union, and Japan as circumstances warrant.
The need to believe in eventual union is prompted, in Europe, by the theory that only a union can ensure peace and a yearning by politicians for a great empire, and a justification of the national state.

After “swallowing” an opening set by EUROPE’s North American tour openers, a band called GARLIC who were “ok” at best, Joey Tempest and the band hit the stage about 9:15pm.
I kind of missed the keyboards on that track but hey, it was different and just seemed to fit better into the set as an acoustic piece which also gave the other guys in the band a well deserved breather.
The set ended on a high note with a track only available on their “Rock the Night: The Very Best of Europe” CD called “Yesterday’s News” which got everyone in the venue on their feet… followed closely by an all time EUROPE favorite “Rock The Night” which just brought down the house.

The tour won't be as extensive as her U.S. trek last year: "That was 20 dates; this will be about half of that." The first five dates were announced Monday, including a stop in London, where Streisand last performed in 1994.
