Europe at Risk

“Europe at Risk” is an initiative by the Bruno Kreisky Forum, the Center for Liberal Studies and the Bureau for Security Policy at the Federal Ministry for Defence and Sports to engage a debate on the crisis of the European Union which is torn apart by two powerful forces. Political elites agree that deeper integration is the only effective response to the crisis but at the same time the crisis has led to the re-nationalization of the sentiments in the member states. In short the Union is torn between the imperative for more integration as the only way to save the Union and the political impossibility to achieve it.
