GEAB N°85
is available! European leadership crisis: the Ukrainian crisis gathers all the
conditions together to give a saving jolt to Europe
« Europe
will be forged from crises and will be the sum of the solutions to these
crises”, wrote Jean Monnet and the fact is that the global systemic crisis got
Europe – Euroland to be exact – to take giant steps forward. It’s these
developments that the GEAB has accurately analysed and anticipated since 2006.
But, from the beginning, as we mentioned in the last issue, the political
crisis which has arisen from this huge transition has an inevitable deadline.
Either European politics finds its creative energy there, or the European
project and the European countries with it, go into the dustbin of history.

Vers les « Etats-Généraux
» d’Euroland, par Harald Greib
Pour lutter
contre le rejet de l’UE, il ne suffit plus de changer quelque chose dans le
système, il faut changer le système. Mais vu l’incapacité de nos politiques
nationaux à saisir la source du mécontentement, il faut abandonner l’idée que
ce sont eux qui peuvent porter le changement. Et ce d’autant plus qu’ils n’ont
plus le pouvoir de changer les choses en Europe. C’est donc aux Européens
eux-mêmes de s’organiser.
Burning
issues for historical European elections
Today's EU

destabilization of foreign relations and war. With the crisis that has been
hitting Europe since 2009, the EU is on the verge of collapse, left with the
choice of being put under control of either foreign powers or extremist
forces...
