El. knyga: Sovereign Europe: An Agenda for Europe in a Fragmented Global Economy

Europe is at a crossroads, economically and politically. Political economists Guerrieri and Padoan brilliantly explain what are the stakes and the options for Europe. -- André Sapir, Université Libre de Bruxelles and Bruegel, Belgium In a world dominated by a logic of power, the EU seems an outdated construction. However, Guerrieri and Padoan show that if we want to build a new multilateral framework, Europe is needed now more than ever. Yet, in order to achieve this successfully the EU must share sovereignty. This book provides a roadmap on how to do so.' -- Marco Buti, European University Institute, Italy Europe confronts a devilish set of challenges in the green transition, security investments, high government debt and weak economic growth. Professors Guerrieri and Padoan thus weigh into the debates over the future of Europe at a critical juncture indeed. Their analytical framework, highlighting the interaction between the evolution of European integration and the global political economy, makes this a particularly valuable book. -- Randall Henning, American University, US Sharply written, thought provoking and actionable, Sovereign Europe lays out an agenda for the economic reforms and further integration steps that the EU must undertake to gain control of its own future rather than have it written by the United States or China. A must-read. -- Arancha Gonzalez, Paris School of International Affairs, Sciences Po, France
