Europe has built a social model that is second to none, and fashioned a continent of disparate nations into a community that shares common values with democratic institutions that are the envy of the world. Yet, Europe, as a common project is increasingly questioned by its citizens. The emphasis on solidarity, the driving force behind the social and economic integration, has given way to suspicion and nationalism. Openness and tolerance are strained by xenophobic, anti-immigrant sentiments, while populists and extremists set the agenda and dominate the policy debate. European countries have borne the brunt of the global economic forces that have strained its institutions and capacity to respond appropriately. Characterised by uncertainty and delay both in handling the Euro crisis, Greece's ongoing economic woes, Brexit and now a migrant crisis, Europe is at a crossroads in its development: a restructuring at the very least, if not a new settlement of power within the union, is on the cards. This book will attempt to understand what "post-crisis Europe" will look like, and what the opportunities are to rethink its economic, social and institutional architecture as well as to address the nagging democratic deficit that undermines its legitimacy as a democratic entity. -- $c Provided by publisher. 610 20 $a European Union. 651 0 $a European Union countries $x Economic policy $y 21st century. 651 0 $a European Union countries $x Social conditions $y 21st century. 651 0 $a European Union countries $x Politics and government $y 21st century. 651 0 $a Europe $x Economic integration. 610 27 $a European Union. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00916630 830 0 $a Comparative political economy 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20201103021006.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4B23E1388E9811EAB83BD64B97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
