Europe is in crisis, but the European Union just gets stronger.
Greece, Portugal, Spain and Ireland have all been told that they
must submit their budgets to EU-appointed bureaucrats. The 'soft
coup' that put EU officials in charge of Greece and Italy shows
that the Union is opposed to democracy. Instead of weakening the
European Union, the budget crisis of 2012 has ended up with the
eurocrats grabbing new powers to dictate terms. Over the years the
forward march of the European Union has been widely misunderstood.
James Heartfield explains that the rise of the EU is driven by the
decline in political participation. Without political contestation
national parliaments have become an empty shell. Where once elites
drew authority from their own people, today they draw authority
from the European Union, and other summits of world leaders. The
growth of the European Union runs in tandem with the decline in
national politics. As national sovereignty is hollowed out,
technocratic administration from Brussels fills the void. This
account of the rise of the European Union includes a full survey of
the major schools of thought in European studies, and a valuable
guide to those who want to take back control.
