Summary

EU crises have triggered a division between 'sovereignist' and 'Europeanist' forces, superseding even the left/right divide. As the former gain control of governments in European countries, promising the repatriation of competences from Brussels, the latter struggle to advance a new vision for an integrated Europe. Fabbrini offers a way forward.
