About this book

Michael Emerson draws on a rare experience of Europe's new political and economic structures - from Brussels to Moscow - to explain Europe's contradictory tendencies towards both integration and conflict. He confronts the two strategic issues for the Europe of the early 21st century: how to ensure success for the Euro and how to stabilise the wider Europe with a strong structure for EU-Russian relations. He draws distinctions between the different Europes - geographic Europe, the European Union, 'Security Europe' (based around NATO) and the emerging 'Civil Europe'. The author argues that 'Civil Europe' could be the basis of a new European golden age, and outlines the far-reaching institutional and cultural changes required to achieve this.

Reviews

'A very inspiring book. A major intellectual achievement.'- Erkki Liikanen, Member of the European Commission

'This book will cause quite a stir in European circles as it is rare in being both challenging and highly informed.' - Andrew Duff, Director, Federal Trust

'Michael Emerson's new map of Europe skilfully integrates post-Cold war reality with long-standing trends in European politics, economics, society and culture. The book is a highly original piece of scholarship. It is also of immense relevance to the current European policy debate.' - Peter Ludlow, Director, Centre for European Policy Studies

'...in his brief and brilliant new study of European integration...Mr Emerson writes with a directness that makes his new book one of the best introductions available to what might best be called the European project.' - The Economist
