The euro was supposed to create an unbreakable bond between the nations & people of Europe. But when the debt crisis struck, the flaws of the half-built currency has brought the EU close to breaking point after decades of post-war integration. Deep fault-lines have opened up between European institutions & the nation-states, & often between the rulers & the ruled, raising profound questions about Europe`s democratic deficit.

In the final chapter, they set out the stark choices confronting Europe`s leaders & citizens. ...
