In this bold book, renowned intellectual Ivan Krastev reflects on the future of the European Union and its possible absence. With the rise of far-right nationalist parties and Britain preparing to leave the EU, Europe is in turmoil and uncertainty as never before. The book's chapters focus on major problems in Europe (primarily the political destabilization caused by the influx of more than a million migrants from North Africa, South Asia and the Middle East), the rise of far-right populism (including the rise to power of Donald Trump in America) and the thorny issues which the countries of Eastern Europe have to respond to. In conclusion, Krastev reflects on the alarming political, economic and geopolitical future awaiting Europe in the event of the collapse of the Union.
