It demonstrates how a clash between liberal and anti-liberal ideas and dissensus over how collective problems should be solved has led to European integration in core state powers. It also considers how this has taken place in a community of voices featuring assent and dissent, all of which give democracy its substance. The book helps readers to better understand the EU's fragilities and challenges. Ramona Coman is Professor of Political Science at the Université libre de Bruxelles, Belgium, where she is also President of the Institut d'études européennes.}, url = {http://library.usi.edu/record/1446198}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-97367-4}, }
