Record poverty in southern Europe, military action against refugees, Brexit on the horizon - the European Union is in the deepest crisis since its inception. But does the EU even have the potential to become the „social and democratic Europe“ that has been presented to us as the political ideal for decades?
In order to find answers to this, it is necessary to demystify many of our cherished images of the EU. Because at its core, the EU is an area of intensified competition - both between EU member states and at a global level. But if the EU cannot be saved and a return to the nation state is not a solution - what then?
Demystified Union.
