re:generation Europe

This book sets out a vision for another Europe: one that cherishes diversity, listens to its public, and is sensitive to its younger generations. It is a call for a re-imagination of the European project, as a response to the three biggest crises that the EU has had to endure the Euro-zone crash, the refugee crisis, and Brexit. These crises demonstrate a fundamental weakness at the heart of the EU: it struggles with making legitimate decisions when member states disagree about how to proceed. This book offers a guide out of this mess. It discusses how the EU can make better use of the trust between its citizens, and how it can reform itself internally so that it can actually listen to those citizens. It also offers ten original policy proposals from the scandalously ambitious to the prosaic to show what another Europe could look like.

Offers a new way to think about the EU, speaking from the perspective of its younger generations Creates a space for imagination and creativity, passion and engagement about what the EU should stand for Provides ten concrete and thought-provoking policy proposals aimed at developing a broader vision of common future
