Rezensionen

'[Kundnani argues] that today's European Union is seeing a rerun of "the German question" that emerged after the founding of the Prussian empire. This time, Germany is not a military power but an economic one. Its economy is too dominant to preserve a stable balance with its eurozone and EU partners, yet too weak to enforce economic stability from above, he says. He calls it a "geo-economic semi-hegemon", with the potential to cause a bitter and possibly disastrous conflict with its closest partners... his thesis is tempting.' The Financial Times
