Schuman Report on Europe, State of the Union 2014

The European Parliament elections 2014 and the renewal of the heads of many of the EU's political institutions offer an opportunity to analyse how the European Union is developing: relations between Germany and France, euro zone reform, investment and financing of the European economy, social Europe, European defence, the issues at stake in the EU/US trade negotiations, data protection etc.

These questions are the focus of the Schuman Report 2014, a yearly work of reference on Europe that is both:

• A unique source of the qualified personalities and experts (Vitor Gaspar, Philippe Maystadt, Isabelle Falque-Pierrotin, Pascal Lamy, Benoît Coeuré)

• A vital tool: more than 37 new maps, a summary of political Europe and the state of European public opinion, a unique set of commented statistics on Europe.

The 8th edition included an exclusive analysis by the French Defence Minister, Jean-Yves Le Drian, who gave his view of European defence issues.

Contents:
• Taking Democracy Seriously
• What economic policy for Europe?
• Europe in the world: Scenario and Prospects
