Europe After Brexit

The United Kingdom’s vote to leave the European Union has triggered the worst political crisis the EU has ever faced. If the EU is to survive, it needs to give Europe’s national governments more, not less, freedom to act. The nation-state is here to stay, and national policies still have far more democratic legitimacy than those imposed by technocrats in Brussels or Frankfurt.

"Europe After Brexit" is from the January/February 2017 issue of Foreign Affairs.
