Paperback. Condition: New. The European Union is a besieged institution. It is struggling in vain to overcome the eurozone crisis and faces an influx of refugees not seen since World War II. The Schengen Agreement is a dead letter, and Britain stands on the brink of leaving altogether. The EU is unfit for the challenges of the c…oming age of increased global competition and high tech. In sum, the drive for an "ever-closer union" has set Europe on the wrong course: plunged it into depression, fuelled national antagonisms, debilitated democracy, and accelerated decline. In this pithy, rigorously argued book, leading historian John Gillingham examines a once great notion that soured long ago.From its postwar origins, through the Single Market, to the troubles of the present, Gillingham explains how Europe's would-be government became a force for anti-democratic centralization and inept policy-making. Brussels has inspired a world of illusion that now threatens to undo the undoubted achievements of integration. The EU: An Obituary is an urgent call to the political Left, Right, and Centre to act before it is too late.

Paperback. Condition: As New. Ah, The EU ? An Obituary . Not so much a book as a politely sharpened dagger slipped between the pages of modern history, wrapped in academic footnotes and served with a side of dry, knowing wit. John R. Gillingham?clearly not one for timid tea-and-biscuit commentary?sets out to write the European U…nion?s farewell speech while the patient is still very much sitting upright, adjusting its tie, and insisting everything is fine. This is not your standard ?how Brussels works? primer. No, this is a post-mortem conducted mid-conversation, where the author calmly examines the organs of integration, bureaucracy, and ambition, and wonders aloud whether the whole grand project quietly expired somewhere between treaty revisions and technocratic optimism. What makes this particularly delicious is the tone: not wild-eyed ranting, but the sort of composed, almost affectionate scepticism that suggests Gillingham once believed in the dream?perhaps even toasted it?before noticing the plumbing didn?t quite connect. It?s history, economics, and political critique, all delivered with the air of a professor who has seen too many committees and lived to tell the tale. For the reader, it becomes a strangely compelling experience. You begin expecting a polemic and instead find a measured dismantling, piece by piece, like someone taking apart an elaborate clock to show you exactly where it stopped ticking?and why no one wanted to admit it. Whether you agree or not is almost beside the point; the pleasure is in watching the argument unfold with quiet precision. This particular copy, offered in As New condition by Crappy Old Books (a name that continues to defy reality with alarming consistency), arrives looking far more alive than the institution it describes. Crisp, clean, and entirely untroubled by existential decline, it sits on your shelf as both a conversation starter and a subtle provocation?ideal for those moments when you want your reading material to raise an eyebrow rather than a flag. In short: a eulogy, a critique, and perhaps a slightly mischievous act of intellectual vandalism?all bound neatly in Verso?s dependable covers. Whether you see it as prophecy, heresy, or just very well-informed grumbling, it?s a book that invites you to reconsider a very large idea? preferably with a cup of something strong and a willingness to be quietly unsettled.

Paperback. Condition: New. With Britain leaving the EU, now is the time for an obituary for the EU as an institution. In this short, rigorously argued book, updated after Brexit, John R. Gillingham tells the history of an idea that has soured and withered away. He reveals the failures from its postwar origins to set out what the… EU was; the role that Delors played in creating the neoliberal monster it is today, and the contemporary - crises; refugees, Brexit, the Euro - that the current institution fails to deal with.
