As economic and political crises have stretched European social solidarity to the breaking point, McNamara’s new book, "The Politics of Everyday Europe: Constructing Authority in the European Union,” offers a way of understanding the foundations of the EU’s political authority.
About

Light lunch will be served before the event in the CES Atrium
