REGISTRATION CLOSED Sallux is pleased to announce that 11 April from 14:00hr to
17:00hr. we will present our newest publication. This publication will outline
an alternative future for the EU. The final title of the publication will be
announced soon. The publication will present a relational plan for Europe and
can be seen as a timely answer to the question posed by the European Commission
to European citizens and political movements to engage themselves in the
question of how the EU should be shaped from now on. The
publication is written by Dr. Michael Schluter, Dr. Paul Mills and David Lee.
Dr. Michael Schluter and David Lee will present the publication during the
event. European
nations are deeply divided over EU membership. In the context of persistent
economic slowdown and mounting external threat, there is an urgent need to
reformulate the European project to prevent centrist politics across Europe
losing further ground to the extremes on both left and right. Reactions
to Brexit suggest that the EU has run ahead of its popular mandate. The
proliferation of foreign cuisine, budget air travel, and international sport
has not created a strong enough sense of European consensus or identity to
sustain EU institutions in their current form. Exposure to migrant flows has
intensified fears about identity, security and standards of living. Underlying
this are problematic structural relationships embedded in Europe’s economy. The
Euro leaves peripheral nations with no way to rebalance using currency
devaluation. Capital mobility often moves investment away from the areas where
it is most badly needed. And, in common with much of the Western world,
European nations struggle with their reliance on debt finance. The
report analyses Europe’s key internal relationships and asks whether it is
practically and politically possible to formulate them in a way that would both
ease the economic pressure on European nations and provide a fresh vision for a
European future. We
look forward to meet you at our event and we invite you to be part of the
debate. Information:
