In vielen europäischen Ländern sind rechte Bewegungen im Aufwind. Oder mit den Worten Jan Zielonkas: Eine Konterrevolution ist in Gang gekommen. Im Jahr 1990 sah das noch ganz anders aus. Der Eiserne Vorhang war gefallen und Zielonkas Lehrer Ralf Dahrendorf begrüßte eine Revolution in Europa, es herrschten Euphorie und Aufbruchsstimmung. Mittlerweile liegt die Europäische Union in Scherben, weil die politischen Eliten marktradikalen Ideen nac...

In tutta Europa è in atto una vera e propria contro-rivoluzione che attacca i fondamenti liberali del continente. Alcuni dei 'controrivoluzionari' sono neofascisti, altri sono neocomunisti, alcuni sono contro l'austerità, altri contro i musulmani, alcuni sono secessionisti, altri nazionalisti, alcuni sono moderati, altri estremisti. Ma tutti hanno una cosa in comune: sono contrari all'ordine liberale e ai suoi progetti chiave come l'integrazio...

The European Union is in crisis. Crippled by economic problems, political brinkmanship, and institutional rigidity, the EU faces an increasingly uncertain future. In this compelling essay, leading scholar of European politics, Jan Zielonka argues that although the EU will only survive in modest form - deprived of many real powers - Europe as an integrated entity will grow stronger. Integration, he contends, will continue apace because of Europ...

Addresses paradoxes in the EU's foreign policy, and asks questions such as: how can the European Union's "power of attraction", combined with its operational weakness, be explained?, and can the EU remain a "civilian power" when coping with an "uncivilized" world?.

L'Unione Europea prometteva di assicurare la prosperità attraverso l'integrazione, ma è diventata simbolo di austerità, di conflitto, di perturbazioni sociali e politiche scaturite dalla crisi economica che non è riuscita ad arginare. Pensare un nuovo modello di integrazione che guardi oltre le regole di bilancio e i problemi di leadership è un'esigenza che non possiamo più rinviare. Se l'Unione Europea può fallire, l'integrazione deve prosegu...
