New book

In October 2018, my latest book has been published in French by Gallimard under the title Quand l’Europe improvise: dix ans de crises politiques (Collection Le Débat). The English translation will appear at Agenda Publishing, in March 2019, as Alarums and Excursions.

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 Dutch original appeared in September 2017 as De nieuwe politieke van Europa at Historische Uitgeverij.
