The European Union (EU) is in crisis. The crisis extends beyond Brexit, the fluctuating fortunes of the eurozone and the challenge of mass migration. It cuts to the core of the EU itself. Trust is eroding; power is shifting; politics are toxic; disillusionment is widespread; and solidarity has frayed. In this major new text leading academics come together to unpack all dimensions of the EU in crisis, and to analyse its implications for the EU, its member states and the ongoing study of European integration.

Desmond Dinan is Professor of public policy at George Mason University, USA, where he holds an ad personam Jean Monnet Chaira. He is a leading authority on the EU and has written several books on the subject, notably Ever Closer Union (4th edition, 2010), and Europe Recast (2nd edition, 2014). He has been a visiting fellow at the Netherlands Institute for International Relations (Clingendael), in The Hague; the European University Institute, in Florence; and the European Parliamentary Research Service, in Brussels. He taught for six years at the College of Europe in both Bruges, Belgium, and Natolin, Poland.
