Abstract: | This book calls upon us to rethink and reboot the European Union. The authors dissect the EU’s many vulnerabilities: how some Member States are backsliding on the rule of law, freedom of the press, and control of corruption – and how globalization’s ‘discontents’ are threatening the liberal international order. It examines the need for a common immigration policy the need to rethink the unsustainable debt overhang of some Eurozone countries and the need to use education to foster a European identity. Given the sum total of these vulnerabilities, the book argues, the EU may not survive beyond 2025 in its present form – that is, unless decisive action is taken. In turn, the book puts forward a number of workable solutions: a European economic model to secure full employment a stronger European Court of Human Rights to counter systemic violations a points-based immigration policy clear exit options for the Eurozone and an Open Education Area with a common second language. These solutions may reduce the number of EU countries, but would increase cohesion and overall survivability. |
