Breaking up is hard to do
In the noise of the debate about the EU, it is rare for fundamental questions to be asked. For example, for what purposes should we have international institutions at all? Does the EU meet those purposes and, if not, is reform possible? This book considers these questions. An international team of renowned authors looks at each area of economic policy in which the EU has an interest, as well as at the governing structures of the EU, and asks what, if anything, the EU should be doing. In most cases, this is then compared with the status quo and against the possibility of Brexit in order to help the reader make a judgement, in each policy area, about which would be the best direction for Britain to take. As well as providing a fine contribution to the Brexit debate, the authors of this book provide a framework for evaluating the results of renegotiation together with a long-term programme for reform. The usefulness of this timely book will long outlive the referendum debate. The book asks - and answers - the fundamental questions that are rarely considered by the political classes.

In search of a European spring
The author's book is \"European Spring: Why Our Economies and Politics are in a Mess - and How to Put Them Right\". He argues that the eurozone crisis has deeply hit many European countries, producing disillusionment, the scapegoating of foreigners and immigrants, and political extremism. Europe faces increasing competition from emerging economies as well as the USA, plus ageing populations and high energy prices; the way forward involves tackling vested interests and making the European Union more democratic and accountable.
Journal Article
The Twilight of Angela Merkel
Support for her Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and its Bavarian sister party, the Christian Social Union (CSU), plunged to its lowest level since 1949. With the Social Democrats (SPD), her previous grand-coalition partners, opting for opposition after slumping to their worst postwar result, Merkel was forced to seek an uneasy three-party coalition with the Euroskeptic and liberal Free Democratic Party (FDP) and the Europhile and more interventionist Greens. Nor was Merkel ever set to ride to the rescue of Britain’s beleaguered prime minister, Theresa May, in the deadlocked Brexit negotiations.
