From听26 Nov听2013听

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)
