A Federalist Alternative for European Governance

More about the book

The book examines the European Union's response to the crises of the 2010s and 2020s, highlighting the challenges posed by national governments' contradictory decisions. Sergio Fabbrini argues that intergovernmental governance has necessitated a transformation of the EU into an international organization. He critiques the concept of 'ever closer union' and advocates for a multi-tier Europe with a federalist core, aiming to balance national sovereignty with supranational authority through a comparative federalism lens.
