Warum Europa eine Republik werden muss! Eine politische Utopie

摘要

Ulrike Guerot's Warum Europa eine Republik werden muss! (Why Europe has to become a Republic!) and her more recent somewhat shorter Derneue Burgerkrieg: Das offene Europa und seine Feinde (Berlin: Ullstein, 2017) (The new civil war: Open Europe and its enemies) have caused something of a stir in German debates about the future of the European Union. The importance of the present book is not only highlighted by the number of reviews it has attracted but also by the fact that the Bundeszentrale fur politische Bildung is distributing it free of charge as No. 1786 of its Schriftenreihe, so clearly it is considered of significant relevance for current debates about the EU; indeed a note on the bpb website states that long delays have to be expected due to the volume of orders currently experienced.
