Europe 2008-2012: A Current History Anthology

In the 37 essays collected here, which appeared in Current History from 2008 through 2012, leading experts worry about Europe's prospects and even the project of continental unity. Many of the essays in this e-book focus on the sovereign debt crisis, with contributions from Daniel Gros, Erik Jones, and Barry Eichengreen, among others. Others deal with challenges such as political ferment, aging societies, and xenophobic responses to migration. All this notwithstanding, most of the authors in this volume also detect positive, or at least potentially positive, developments, among them the resilience of Western Europe's "social model" and of Eastern Europe's economies, and a rebound in the critical transatlantic relationship. Andrew Moravcsik even maintains that the European Union remains a superpower. The essays in this e-book present a complex and worrisome picture of the "Old Continent's" struggles, but they offer no cause to consider Europeans a spent force.
