Description: This book offers a pragmatic vision of the Europe of the future as seen by a citizen who is heavily involved in its construction. The book raises critical questions about the future challenges for the Union, including a single currency, common citizenship, a foreign and security policy, enlargement to the east and the great issue of employment and welfare. The author explains the importance of the European Union in the world as a bastion of democracy and stability, and the critical need to involve the citizens of Europe in the building of the Union. In looking at the critical decisions about the future of the Union, this book shows that the record of the past only shows a way forward along democratic federalist structures.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 215-219) and index.
