The European Union has entered an era of successive crises. Each of these crises had a different origin and initially manifested in a different field of policy. However, the deeper causes of this wave of crises are closely linked to the very nature, historical trajectory, and institutional logic of the European project.
The book offers a synthetic approach to European governance and thoroughly examines critical aspects of it, such as economic governance, the budget, and external action. In the second edition, extensive reference has been added, in a separate chapter, to its energy policy.
The goal of the book is to evaluate the overall resilience of the European Union, that is, its ability not only to withstand and address the various challenges but also to transform in a sustainable, equitable, and democratic manner.
