Europe’s Mega-crisis: Demography, Economy, and Security – Martin Walker
Global Issues Series II
Thursdays in Sarasota
Europe faces its greatest challenge since the end of World War II: demographic decline, economic stagnation, and an ominous security threat, yet its response is hampered by a clumsy and bureaucratic European Union, fragmented domestic politics, and American reticence. Martin Walker asks how Europe can nonetheless manage to cope.
