Summary
This book explores how the European Union responds to the ongoing challenges to the liberal international order. These challenges arise both within the EU itself and beyond its borders, and put into question the values of free trade and liberal democracy. The book’s interdisciplinary approach brings together scholars from economics, law, and political science to provide a comprehensive analysis of how shifts in the international order affect the global position of the EU in dimensions such as foreign and security policy, trade, migration, populism, rule of law, and climate change. All chapters include policy recommendations which make the book particularly useful for decision makers and policy advisors, besides researchers and students, as well as for anyone interested in the future of the EU.
Table of contents
“We live in turbulent times and the European Union is under pressure internally and externally. Is the EU of today sufficiently equipped to deal with these challenges? The support for the EU and joint action is stronger than ever, yet we see a resurge of nationalism, populism and the role of the nation state. This volume offers interesting and thought-provoking perspectives on the EU in an emerging new world order. The volume is a must-read for anyone interested in European affairs. I can warmly recommend it.” (Cecilia Malmström, EU Trade Commissioner)
