European Coup - Back to a Balance of Power Europe?

The European Parliament’s creation, national ambitions, identities and
interests have had an imperfect execution throughout its history. The last elections demonstrated that nationalism is making a come-back in a significant way. British 'nationalists' won the Brexit debate hugely, Northern Italian ‘nationalists’ won in Italy signalling a divided Italy may be in its future. Though there were some notable defeats for nationalist parties, overall they are a growing, permanent presence in the European political space.
Upon scanning recent geopolitical articles on social media, Dr. John Bruni came across a piece written by a colleague and part-time contributor to SAGE International Australia, Prof. Dr. Julian Lindley-French. 

To discuss these issues, we’ll be joined today by Prof. Lindley-French. Julian is Vice-President Atlantic Treaty Association, Senior Fellow of the Institute of Statecraft, Director of Europa Analytica & Distinguished Visiting Research Fellow, National Defense University, Washington DC.

Please direct any feedback you may have to the SIA website, we look forward to hearing from you!
