After Europe |
In 120 pages this Bulgarian thinker offers multiple insights. The refugee crisis has been the catalyst for an identity crisis and a loss of confidence in the EU, democracy and the liberal order which underlies it. Adrift, a secular Europe is sustained by borrowing from the future and an unwillingness to face up to its challenges one of which is disaffection in Eastern Europe. A summary of a summary can't do this justice but hope, he argues, has not gone if we face up to things.
