This book proposes a profound reform of the EU and identifies its deficiencies. The book's proposals are based on the concepts of limited supranationality and a balanced view of the nation state. The EU is mainly needed to secure peace, promote prosperity, compensate for the relatively small size and limited power of its member states, and ensure their compliance with the essential principles of Western civilization. The balanced view of the nation state implies avoiding nationalism and war and safeguarding the advantages which a well-designed nation state has in comparison to the EU. The book presents a variety of proposals, such as redesigning EU law-making and EU treaty-making, subordinating the role of the European Commission, a Court of Appeal, and a new composition of the European Central Bank. It also discusses possible ways to ensure the survival of the Eurozone. If the book's proposals are translated into practice, the EU could be in better shape in the future.
