A Post-Brexit Itinerary for European Unionists

A new approach to EU policy making after Brexit, which has opened up new options for policy making and institutional design.

The book delivers a new approach to EU policy making after Brexit, which has removed significant political obstacles. The objective is to strengthen the EU as a federation by expanding her spending functions, notably in defence and social policy, by reducing the scope of actual "churning" policies, and by giving her fiscal powers, notably in corporate cashflow taxation and "digital taxes". An architecture for more democratic and adaptive EU institutions is sketched. The book concludes with a EU draft constitution.
