FOR EUROPE – A Manifesto
Daniel Cohn-Bendit and Guy Verhofstadt. Book Presentation and Discussion with Ulrich Beck
In German and English language
Is Europe in the process of collapsing or is the current crisis an opportunity to create a stronger and more democratic Europe? Two passionate Europeans, Daniel Cohn-Bendit and Guy Verhofstadt, speak out with their manifesto and against the general trend, demand a united and federal Europe.
For, they believe, only then can the individual European nation states stand a chance in the face of global competition. In conversation with Ulrich Beck, Cohn-Bendit and Verhofstadt discuss the prospects for European democracy and its citizens beyond the pervasive Euro-skepticism of the present.
