Is the EU Constitution dead in the water? Although it may have disappeared out of the headlines for a while, the idea of having a binding EU Constitution still lies at the heart of future plans for the European Union. Ordinary people will be able to vote on the issue: but is there really a widespread understanding of what the Constitution would actually entail? Leading writer and anti-globalisation activist Susan George presents a succinct analysis of what is at stake for all peoples of Europe. How will the constitution affect our lives, and who does it really empower? Will it be the politicians and corporations that benefit? Will it involve much closer political alignment between all EU countries, and if it does then what does our future look like? Written with clarity and authority, this book will help you make up your own mind.
