In this provocative book, renowned public intellectual Ivan Krastev reflects on the future of the European Union—and its potential lack of a future. With far-right nationalist parties on the rise across the continent and the United Kingdom planning for Brexit, the European Union is in disarray and plagued by doubts as never before. Krastev includes chapters devoted to Europe's major problems (especially the political destabilization sparked by the more than 1.3 million migrants from the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia), the spread of right-wing populism (taking into account the election of Donald Trump in the United States), and the thorny issues facing member states on the eastern flank of the EU (including the threat posed by Vladimir Putin's Russia). He concludes by reflecting on the ominous political, economic, and geopolitical future that would await the continent if the Union itself begins to disintegrate.

Quotes

  • Aleksandar Baucalhas quoted6 years ago
    It was the most powerful restatement that the governing formula of the EU—namely, policies without politics in Brussels and politics without policies on the national level—had been reinforced by the crisis
  • Aleksandar Baucalhas quoted6 years ago
    If we wonder why Bulgarians have tended to be governed by the wrong people in recent years, we have to ask if mass emigration could be the culprit. The citizen who decides to leave his country hardly has the reform of the country he has left in mind. He is interested in changing his own lot in life, not the lives of others.
  • Aleksandar Baucalhas quoted6 years ago
    The political struggle between Clinton and Trump was one between sea power and land power, between people who think in terms of space and people who think in terms of place.
