This public debate follows the recent publication of their jointly authored book: What Does Europe Want?

鈥淚nstead of a peace-project, the European Union is increasingly turning into a warzone: whether it be the expulsion of immigrants or riots in Paris and London, or European interventions to bring 鈥渕ore democracy鈥� to Libya or Syria. But instead of leaving Europe to the enemies, 沤i啪ek and Horvat reflect on the fight for a different Idea of Europe.鈥� (Istros Books, 2013)
