The currency of the Union, the euro, is used in economic transactions world-wide. Yet the EU is mired in the greatest crisis of its history, one that threatens its very existence as an entity able to have an impact upon world affairs. Europe no longer seems so mighty, instead but faces the threat of becoming an irrelevant backwater or, worse, once again the scene of turbulent conflicts. Divisions are arising all over Europe, while the popularity of the Union sinks. How can this situation be turned around? \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eNow published as a revised and updated paperback that takes account of the May 2014 elections to the European Parliament, \u003ci\u003eTurbulent and Mighty Continent \u003c\/i\u003emakes a powerful case for a far-reaching and fundamental renewal of the European project as a whole.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnthony Giddens is former Director of the London School of Economics, Life Fellow of King's College, Cambridge, and Member of the House of Lords, UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 224\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 7.9 x 5.2 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 09, 2015\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52732794503475,"sku":"9780745680972","price":41.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/VrZX9YweS9780745680972.webp?v=1763909903","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/turbulent-and-mighty-continent-what-future-for-europe-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
