The New EU, or Is It?
The New EU, or Is It?

Summary/Abstract: Looking back at the past year, there is little doubt that the EU has changed. There has been a redistribution of power and the complex array of different EU institutions are involved in a political contest. The outcome and the consequences of the contest will certainly produce a different kind of Union. The central question, however, is whether this reshaped EU will be able to respond to the twofold challenge that the integration process confronts – responsiveness to the citizens and ability to solve the multiple crises that the EU faces. If these questions receive inadequate or flawed answers, then the integration process itself will very likely slow down or stagnate or even begin to fragment.
