The European Union is in crisis. Crippled by economic problems,
political brinkmanship, and institutional rigidity, the EU faces an
increasingly uncertain future.
In this compelling essay, leading scholar of European politics, Jan
Zielonka argues that although the EU will only survive in modest
form – deprived of many real powers – Europe as an integrated
entity will grow stronger. Integration, he contends, will continue
apace because of European states’ profound economic
interdependence, historic ties and the need for political
pragmatism. A revitalized Europe led by major cities, regions and
powerful NGOs will emerge in which a new type of continental
solidarity can flourish.
The EU may well be doomed, but Europe certainly is not.
