GOVERNANCE AND EUROPE
Eclecticism is the hallmark of this book. This is illustrated by the nature of the articles and the profiles of the writers. A quick glance at the table of contents clearly indicates this aspect:
From a reflection on secularism in Europe, diplomacy of influence through to religious beliefs, geopolitical issues, Community law, financial regulation, immigration and defence; the outlook offered by this study is highly varied.
Also varied are the profiles of the writers of this book: a lawyer (Jean Michel Quillardet), a senior official (Max Brisson), lecturers-researchers (Denis Aubin, Marc Delachaussée, Dominique Jean Renou), a journalist (Genci Burimi), legal professionals (Muriel Assouline, Bruno Szwajcer), an honorary divisional commissioner of the national police (Michel Lepoix), were sought as an expression of the profound educational vocation of the FEDE.

This book aims to provide an understanding of the main organisational mechanims in Europe in terms of strategy and geopolitics. It enables an analysis of the interactions between states, international institutions, economic stakeholders and civil societies. It offers tools for analysing European governance in order to understand its complexities and issues. To understand today’s world, is to be able, tomorrow, to deliver more effective, more open, more coherent, more legitimate, more responsible and therefore more efficient managerial decisions.
