Abstract Even if one doesn’t agree with all the ingredients of Kirsty Hughes’ gloomy assessment of the EU’s predicament, there’s no disagreeing with the fundamental point she so forcefully makes: “Above all, there is a need for a clear, positive political strategy and vision for the EU, to show that the EU is more than just a single currency, that it has a current and future political, social and economic purpose and dynamic.” In other words, we badly lack a shared long-term vision.
