Description

The European Union has faced numerous crises in recent years, from Greek sovereign debt to the annexation of Crimea, and the ongoing impact of Brexit. As a result, the EU has been forced to improvise on issues it was not designed to handle, such as identity, sovereignty, and solidarity. In this candid portrayal of the EU's crisis management, Luuk van Middelaar explores how the Union has had to reinvent itself by casting off its legal constraints and confronting hard issues of power, territorial borders, and public authority. Through a detailed examination of the EU's inner workings, van Middelaar sheds light on the stresses the Union must withstand in dealing with real-world events. This book provides a compelling insight into the EU's constitutional dynamics and the power play between its leaders and the institutions that govern it. By understanding the EU's recent metamorphosis, readers can gain a deeper appreciation for the complexities of this unique political entity.
