This book is an attempt to fill that void: reacting to the anti-European wave, it also outlines a strong criticism both of the current EU and of its advocates. Far from the Europeanist defence of the status quo, it proposes an original and radical project of European sovereignty. Its message is both critical and propositional.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book is therefore original in its method, approach and content. It distinguishes itself from most of the literature on the subject by going beyond the narrow cleavage opposing mainstream anti- and pro- Europeans. In this general polemic, anti-European arguments usually promote a return to sovereignty at the national level, while pro-Europeans justify the existing EU configuration and its so-called \"sharing\" or \"division\" of sovereignty. Despite being clearly in favour of a deeper European integration in some fields, Sophie Heine refuses to throw away the classical concept of sovereign power. Relying on a rich literature and deploying a theoretical and strategic argument, she proposes to rehabilitate this notion at a supra-national level while avoiding the common traps of national sovereignty. This allows her to propose a redefinition of European federalism connected to her broader liberal approach. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements ix \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eForeword xi \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface xv \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction xix \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 1 \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFrom National to European Sovereignty 1 \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 2 \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSovereignty without Identity: For a New Cosmopolitan Approach 21 \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 3 \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA Legitimate European Government: A Liberal Approach 41 \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 4 \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCommon Policies for a Sovereign Europe 63 \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 5 \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRealism, Agency and Individual Freedom 75 \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eConclusion \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePractical Strategies to Build a Sovereign Europe 89 \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBibliography 99\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Lang International Academic Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042595832151,"sku":"9781789974584","price":43.56,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781789974584.jpg?v=1750954792","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/for-a-sovereign-europe-9781789974584","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
