This incisive book examines the role of the EU in times of crises. Maurizio Cotta illustrates its evolution as a tool for crisis resolution, demonstrating how initial contentious issues and a lack of infrastructure have been overcome via solidarity and resilience.

Chapters investigate why and when a national level crisis ascends to European level and analyse the extent to which recent decades are becoming increasingly turbulent. To explore the processes involved in crafting European institutional and policy solutions, Cotta assesses three major events: the financial crash of 2008, the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Evaluating the limits and capabilities of the EU, these case studies bring into question the value of its intervention in crisis events. The book advances understanding of not only how the EU provides aid in turbulent times, but also how such crises shape the way in which the EU functions.

EU Politics in a Turbulent Era is a crucial resource for students and scholars of international relations, comparative politics and European politics and public policy. It is also beneficial to political officials and policymakers interested in the operation of the EU during tumultuous eras.
