The European Union is a political order of peculiar stamp and
continental scope, its polity of 446 million the third largest on
the planet, though with famously little purchase on the conduct of
its representatives. Sixty years after the founding treaty, what
sort of structure has crystallised, and does the promise of ever
closer union still obtain? Against the self-image of the bloc,
Perry Anderson poses the historical record of its assembly. He
traces the wider arc of European history, from First World War to
Eurozone crisis, the hegemony of Versailles to that of Maastricht,
and casts the work of the EU's leading contemporary analysts - both
independent critics and court philosophers - in older traditions of
political thought. Are there likenesses to the age of Metternich,
lessons in statecraft from that of Machiavelli? An excursus on the
UK's jarring departure from the Union considers the responses it
has met with inside the country's intelligentsia, from the contrite
to the incandescent. How do Brussels and Westminster compare as
constitutional forms? Differently put, which could be said to be
worse?
