An EU “fit for purpose” in the global age
Over the next decade the EU must be ready to redefine itself: what its role is as a
political entity in a rapidly changing world and how it should reform itself, both
internally and externally, in order to overcome and respond to the multifaceted
challenges of the global age we now live in. In short, the challenge of making the
EU “fit for purpose”.
Needless to say, this is where controversy begins: what exactly is the EU’s “purpose”
in the 21st century and what kind of reforms are required to render it “fit”? In
this volume, leading thinkers and experts provide compelling answers to issues
of economic governance, financial regulation, budget reform, social policy and
sustainable growth.
This pamphlet is one of a series of three emanating from the EU “fit for purpose” project
organised by Policy Network, in partnership with the European Institute, LSE and ELIAMEP.
