Description
Book SynopsisUnless Europe forms a unitary sovereign state, Europe will remain weak and dependent for its security on the United States. This book focusses on the debate on European political integration. It contains the arguments of contemporary political philosophy and international relations as well.
Trade Review"Glyn Morgan's book represents a refreshing approach to the literature on the nature and future of the European integration project... [B]y tackling the issue of justification rather than legitimation, Morgan tackles the crucial issue that appears to be the biggest current obstacle to further European constitutionalization."--Matt McCullock, Journal of Contemporary European Studies "This well-written, well-argued, and challenging essay offers both a strong contribution to the debate about the shape of European integration and an argument for the relevance of political philosophy to international relations."--Foreign Affairs Magazine "Morgan's arguments show that a more integrated European state can be justified on grounds very different from those usually offered, and perhaps this is his most significant contribution... Increasingly, it is clear, the demand for effective government cannot be met by individual nation-states on the old Westphalian model. Whether it is federal, unitary or post-sovereign, some sort of European state seems to offer the most appealing way of meeting this demand."--John Quiggin and Henry Farrell, Australian Financial Review
