A Republic Of Europeans - Civic Potential in a Liberal Milieu

‘A Republic of Europeans looks at the institutions of the European Union in the search for an image that is fit to regulate the aspirations of member states and member subjects. It grounds this search in an informed account of how those institutions actually operate and it relies on the framework of ideas deriving from the European republican tradition to provide guidance for the project. The book gives us a regulative ideal for the development of the Union that ought to command the attention of citizens and policymakers alike.’
