Publisher's Synopsis
This work addresses the redistribution of political power within the European Union and what it means for Britain's future. Rather than the day-to-day squabbles, the book looks at what's happening to Europe and its people after 75 years of intermittent wars, amid rapid economic and technological changes, at a time of widening social divisions. Since 1989, a new political structure has begun to emerge in which power is more evenly shared among regions, nation-states and the European Union. This "revolution" has fundamental implications for the future of nation-states and their institutions - their monarchies, bureaucracies and parliaments. This book is intended as a clarion call to Britain to modernize its government.
