Résumé

The EU is in crisis. This crisis extends beyond the challenges of Covid-19, Brexit, the Eurozone, and mass migration. It cuts to the core of the EU itself. This text unpacks all dimensions of the EU in crisis, and analyses its implications for the EU and its member states. It argues that crises and challenges are no longer individual events facing the EU, but rather are a sustained condition that has changed the relationship between member states, the functioning of institutions, the nature of public engagement and the prospects for integration.

Written by a team of leading experts, this book covers:
- Cutting-edge theory
- Recent high-impact crisis cases, including health, the environment and threats to democracy
- Institutional effects of crises
- Political dynamics
- Discussion of longer-term implications of the EU

This is the perfect companion for those studying and researching contemporary challenges facing the EU, European integration, and crisis management and transboundary crises more broadly.
