  This work addresses the redistribution of politcal power within the European Union and what it means for Britain's future. But it's not about the day-to-day political squabbles over fishing or lamb, sausages or subsidies. Instead it describes what is happening to Europe and its people after 75 years of intermittent wars, amid rapid economic and technological changes, at a time of widening social divisions, when all the old answers are generally thought discredited. Since 1989, a new political structure is emerging in which power is more evenly shared among regions, nation-states and the European Union. It is nothing less than a revolution, one which has fundamental implications for the future of nation-states and their institutions - their monarchies, bureaucracies and parliaments.
