Can Europe Survive?: The Story Of A Continent In A Fractured World

Beskrivelse

Europe is at a critical crossroads, grappling with political divisions, economic slowdown, and external pressures from global powers like the U.S., China, and Russia. This book explores how the continent can navigate its fractured present and uncertain future.

An in-depth look at Europe's challenges and the urgent need for resilience and new alliances.

David Marsh offers a compelling analysis of Europe's current struggles amid a rapidly shifting world shaped by the rivalry between China and the United States. Despite early achievements following the Berlin Wall's fall, the European Union and its neighboring countries have yet to craft a clear strategy for thriving in the 21st century. The departure of Britain from the EU has weakened both sides, while Russia's invasion of Ukraine has exposed critical vulnerabilities.

Marsh draws on exclusive archives and interviews with over 150 key figures to examine Europe's ongoing crisis, highlighting issues like the rise of populism, the stagnation between France and Germany, and deteriorating ties with Putin's Russia. He also addresses emerging tensions within the monetary union and how climate change policies have affected economic growth.

Facing perhaps its most serious challenge since World War II, Europe must tap into new reserves of strength and forge renewed international partnerships to secure its future.
