My idea of Europe

The Old Continent, the European Union is now facing a high level of uncertainty and crisis, a series of challenges the good or bad resolution of which will mark out its future, the consolidation of a strong leadership and the effective operation -and with real powers- of institutions, the internal cohesion of the people and the integration of immigrants, internal security and the development of common action on the international scene for the resolution of conflicts, the relationship with other regions such as Latin America or the nations of the Mediterranean, the response

to challenges in the future such as energy supplies, technological development, education policies, the balance between economic, social and cultural development. Europe is in crisis and needs the courage of hope, the pragmatism of ideas to face a promising future. A convinced Europeanist, a witness and protagonist of the construction of Europe, Felipe González reflects with insight in this book while avoiding clichés and without avoiding argument about the past, the present and the future of this dream of Europe which remains unfinished.
