The EU’s austerity policies have led to a fragmentation of its power, encouraging the rise of populist parties. + Postmodern Europe tried to put History – with its class warfare, belief systems, and ideologies – behind it + Populist ideologies are making their return, attractive not just to the average citizen, but also to many members of national elites + In this battle between utopias, ideas, and visions of Europe, those at the extremes embark on marriages of convenience and drown out moderate options + Europe is in need of a catharsis, but we are getting ever more bogged down in the clash of legitimacies and democracies |
