"This is a timely volume with an impressive line-up of leading authorities writing on some of the key issues and challenges facing the EU after a turbulent decade or more. Their reflections on the likely future of core areas of EU policy and action, from economic and social governance to migration, climate, trade and financial markets, as well as broader institutional and constitutional issues should be of interest to scholars and students of European integration across many disciplines."Gráinne de Búrca, New York University School of Law, USA."We humans have a tendency to over rationalise the past, over dramatise the present and underestimate the future. Luckily this book does exactly the opposite. Just what the doctor ordered to get some order to the future scenarios of the European Union."Alexander Stubb, European University Institute, Italy, and Former Prime Minister of Finland.
