New book
The Dutch edition of my new book De nieuwe politiek van Europa is out since 27 September.
The book is a frontline narrative of Europe’s crisis years, a cool assessment of the Union’s event-driven political metamorphosis, and a plea to bring in the voices of opposition. It draws on five years of up-close political experience, followed by two years of reading, thinking, writing and rewriting.
The French translation will be published by Editions Gallimard, January 2019. An English translation is in preparation.
