The Future of Europe: Is Liberal Democracy in Trouble?

The Future of Europe: Is Liberal Democracy in Trouble?

Liberal democracy has stopped delivering on its promise, at least in the view of millions of voters across Europe, and now finds itself in a growing struggle for survival. The signs are everywhere, from Brexit to the prospect of political victories by far-right candidates in France, Germany and beyond.

How did the EU become an endangered species?
How far will populist anger push Europe's far-right into power?
Can (and should) the EU survive these nationalist movements?
