A Fresh Start for the European Union after Brexit. CEPS Commentary, 29 June 2016

Micossi, Stefano. (2016) A Fresh Start for the European Union after Brexit. CEPS Commentary, 29 June 2016. [Policy Paper]

Abstract

I am still trying to process the shock of the UK referendum, which has dealt a historic blow to the European Union and has alerted us to the danger of the wave of anti-establishment and anti-elite sentiments shaking up developed nations, and bringing about disastrous decisions that cannot be easily reversed. These movements are present in many European countries; we cannot underestimate the dangers of tumbling down the slippery slope of nationalism, which could put the very survival of the Union into question. A response from the EU, or from a smaller circle of its founding or main members, is necessary – as long as we can identify meaningful goals.
