Alarums and Excursions
Improvising Politics on the European Stage
A revealing and candid portrayal of a Europe improvising its way through a series of crises. Forced into action by a tidal wave of emergencies, Europe has had to reinvent itself, casting off its legal straitjacket and confronting hard issues that threaten its own political identity.
Luuk van Middelaar is a historian and political theorist. In his role as a speechwriter and close advisor to the president of the European Council (2010-15), van Middelaar witnessed the political theatre of Europe from the front row. He is currently a professor at the Europa Institute of Leiden University. His previous book, The Passage to Europe (winner of the 2012 European Book Prize) has been translated into more than ten languages. He was advisor to the acclaimed BBC programme, Inside Europe: Ten Years of Turmoil (2019).
