Series: European Politics

This book discusses the meaning of the common good in a European Union thorned by nationalist tendencies and presents concrete policies to improve its achievement. It analyses the normative relevance of EU values as a shared moral standpoint that allows highly diverse member states to label a given collective choice as 'good' or 'bad'. It discusses the role of EU institutions as both guardians and enablers of EU values in a globalised world and introduces a few proposals for institutional reform at the EU level that could strengthen this role. It also presents six strategies to improve civic friendship in the EU, in the absence of which any institutional efforts to promote the common good may be undermined by the citizens' lack of willingness to share its burdens.

Reviews for Beyond Nationalism: Acting and Thinking for the Common Good in the European Union

'The European Union is a laboratory for policies pursuing a common good beyond the nation. Labareda's excellent book fills not only a gap in the normative literature on the EU but contributes also significantly to the current revival of the concept of the common good by demonstrating how it can guide concrete reforms.' Rainer Bauböck, Austrian Academy of Sciences -- .
