Towards an Imperfect Union: A Conservative Case for the EU (Europe Today)

Dalibor Rohac
4.9/5 (26299 ratings)
Description:This is an important project: Dalibor Rohac has identified an issue that will help determine the future of Europe. (Anne Applebaum, Pulitzer Prize-winning author and columnist)This is a very promising project. It doesn't fit in the mindless attacks on the EU by both right wing and left wing eurosceptics nor in the mindless support of the EU by‎ usually left wing academics and Brussels bureaucrats. At a deeper level, the target is not just the EU as such but integration itself. Its nationalist enemies want to reserve more power at home in the name of a commitment to a nonexistent value called or intimated as absolute sovereignty. In reality, they don't want to be scrutinized by foreigners - only benefit from their economic cooperation and generosity. It's high time someone holds up from a conservative perspective integration as the best road to peace and prosperity. (Michael Žantovský, Executive Director of Václav Havel Library, former ambassador of the Czech Republic to the United Kingdom, and author of Havel: A Life)Dalibor Rohac is writing an important book: to defend and reform the European Union, which has liberalized markets in goods and services and thereby raised living standards for millions, from the socialists who have hijacked the European project and from the conservative Euroskeptics who fail to realize that Europe’s demise will enhance protectionism and socialism at the national level. This book will be a must read. (Kenneth Weinstein, president and CEO of Hudson Institute)This is a very promising project.

In reality, they don't want to be scrutinized by foreigners - only benefit from their economic cooperation and generosity. It's high time someone holds up from a conservative perspective integration as the best road to peace and prosperity. (Charles Gati, The Johns Hopkins University)In today’s Europe, deep cracks are showing in the system of political cooperation that was designed to prevent the geopolitical catastrophes that ravaged the continent in the first half of the twentieth century. Instead of sounding the alarm, many conservatives have become cheerleaders for the demise of the European Union (EU). This compelling book represents the first systematic attempt to justify the European project from a free-market, conservative viewpoint. Although many of their criticisms are justified, Dalibor Rohac contends that Euroskeptics are playing a dangerous game. Their rejection of European integration places them in the unsavory company of nationalists, left-wing radicals, and Putin apologists. He convincingly shows that the flourishing of democracy and free markets in Europe historically has gone hand in hand with the integration project. Europe’s pre-EU past, in contrast, was marked by a series of geopolitical calamities. Instead of advocating for the end of the EU, Rohac argues that conservatives must come to the rescue of the integration project by helping to reduce the EU’s democratic deficit and turning it into an engine of economic dynamism and prosperity.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
