Description:After the French and Dutch electorates decisively rejected the EU
Constitution at the polls in 2005, the Irish delivered a resounding 'Third
No' in June 2008, triggering a political earthquake in the capitals of
Europe. Forcing the Irish to vote again in 2009 having given the 'wrong'
answer reveals divergent visions of Europe's future.
In this defining moment Another Europe? comes as a timely stimulus to debate about the future of the
EU. Just as The Federalist papers of 1788 lent the stage to Publius at an
equally pivotal time in the history of the United States of America, so his
sister 'Publia', with her friend 'Lydia', jointly address the peoples of
Europe on the future of their Continent. Their inspired exchanges contain
the ideas of over seventy distinguished thinkers and political actors across
the European Union. They expose two logically consistent if irreconcilable
routes towards a democratically legitimate Europe.
Authoritative and highly readable, Another Europe? aims to bridge academic
and popular discourse and open up all the key issues, from law to
environment, identity, citizenship, finance and foreign policy. It is
essential for anyone who wishes to engage in Ireland's - and Europe's -
great debate.
