Promotional Information

Siedentop examines whether representative government is feasible across the vast physical scale and human diversity of Europe, exploring the threat to local autonomy and individual freedom, and anatomizing the widely different political cultures of Britain, France, and Germany. He balances an understanding of the great theorists of supranational government, especially Montesquieu and De Tocqueville, with a deep, though critical, appreciation of contemporary Europe.

About the Author

Larry Siedentop is a faculty lecturer in political thought at the University of Oxford and a fellow of Keble College. He is also the author of Tocqueville.

Reviews

Full of provocative thoughts and ideas... Europe has waited far too long for this kind of scrutiny. The Economist A thrilling, compulsively readable book about constitutional reform in the European Union. The Observer The brilliant new book... is an eloquent call on the leaders of Europe to rise to the task of creating a proper democratic framework for the political construction of new Europe. The Times (London) This enjoyable, easily accessible 'call to arms' is recommended. -- W.M. Downs Choice Reviews
