About this book

Based on interviews with some of the EU's most important leaders, this book is designed to probe and elucidate what they think. The goal of the book is to find out whether they believe that the current period in the history of the European Union constitutes a 'crisis,' and if so, what kind of crisis is it?.

Reviews

"George Ross's publication provides a fascinating insider's view on the European Union's successes, the crises it has gone through, and the challenges it faces. Above all, it is a stark reminder of the need to bring European citizens on-board to consolidate the European project." - Pascal Lamy, Director General, World Trade Organization

"The European road staked out by elites towards an implicitly federal destination has lost direction with each succeeding crisis. By what is it to be replaced? In an original book of interviews, 80 key figures deliver their reflections, their diagnosis, and their doubts. Essential reading for understanding the current crisis."

- Philippe Pochet, General Director of the European Trade Union Institute (ETUI) and Visiting Lecturer at the Université catholique de Louvain (UCL), Belgium
