The threats facing Europe could hardly be more serious as we live through the most dangerous time in decades. Political turmoil in France and Germany - two of Europe's largest economies - have only heightened Europe's economic problems in the face of intensifying competition with the US, and the volatility of the Russia-Ukraine war.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAgainst this backdrop, \u003ci\u003eThe Trouble with Europe\u003c\/i\u003e delivers a timely, extensive assessment of where Europe stands - and where it may be heading next.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this newly updated edition, leading economist and \u003ci\u003eTelegraph \u003c\/i\u003ecolumnist Roger Bootle, who has long maintained that the EU isn't working, argues that it must reform if it is to thrive. Published to mark ten years since the UK's Brexit referendum, the book provides a clear-eyed evaluation of Brexit's gains and losses, asking why the benefits have fallen short of expectations and where real opportunities still lie.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBootle combines sharp economic analysis with political insight, examining the EU's history, purpose and structural flaws. He explores the future of the Euro, the economic pressures facing member states, and the growing tensions between national sovereignty and deeper integration as many European leaders are being forced to choose between climate, economic and foreign policy goals. With coverage of the Russia-Ukraine war and its implications for the EU, and the tensions in Poland and Hungary, this edition brings the debate fully up to date.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCrucially, the book looks forward. Can the EU reform itself? Is 'more Europe' the answer? What are the consequences of an EU break up? And could a looser, concentric-circle model offer a new path, including a role for the UK?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProvocative, authoritative and essential reading, \u003ci\u003eThe Trouble with Europe\u003c\/i\u003e is indispensable for anyone who wants to understand Europe's future - and Britain's place within it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56585144369526,"sku":"9781399835251","price":16.05,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_41023709_b68c3f87-94cb-420b-8aa7-5a2f8ed1890e.jpg?v=1777006317","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781399835251-the-trouble-with-europe-ten-years-post-brexit","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
