This book ventures a critical gaze at the image of the European Union beyond the crisis.
Keeping in mind that crises constitute organic parts of all systems the volume attempts to
apprehend the EU's losses gains challenges and opportunities deriving from the crisis and
assesses what constitutes a viable and integrated exit from the current predicament. Moreover
through dealing with the EU as an everlasting process rather than a completed edifice the
collection aims at charting the conceptual weaknesses which resulted in a crisis so acute and
long-lasting and at opening a discourse on the future and the required reconceptualization of
the EU. The project is based on three large and interconnected thematic pillars that relate to
the European Union after the crisis: - Facets of parliamentarism in the EU in the context of
the crisis - Political cohesion and institutional integration - Perceptions images
stereotypes and their impact on the process of social and political integration of the EU.
