The Europe of European Integration and its Vicissitudes; Past, Present and Future - Mathieu Segers

This lecture is on the past, present and future of the Europe of European integration and the trans-Atlantic West. Is there still a future for the multilateral Western world? This world that emerged as of the early 1940s, against the backdrop of a pitch-black history of two world wars and the great depression. To what extent are the hopes, successes and promises of 'embedded liberalism' (Ruggie, 1982), and the connected concept of a 'social market' in the Europe of European integration, still credible? In this lecture Mathieu Segers assessed from both an economic and (geo)political perspective, taking on board a broader and longer, more diachrone, history of European integration. The over-arching theme to which this lecture alludes is that one question, which always gives rise to disquiet: what is Europe? After the fall of the Berlin Wall, Jacques Derrida wrote: 'Old Europe seems to have exhausted all the possibilities of discourse and counter-discourse about its own identification'. That still is true. And yet this soul-searching is the only certainty that Europe and the Europeans must hold on to. This lecture is another exercise in that old European tradition, linked to the current state of affairs in and around today's European Union.
