The people of France have spoken: 54.87% voted on Sunday to reject the proposed European Union Constitutional Treaty. If the result is "no" in the referendum in the Netherlands on Wednesday, the Constitution will likely fail, despite the fact that all major political parties in most European countries support it. What are the implications for the future of Europe? What will be the economic repercussions? What does the result tell us about how representative Europe's governing elites are of their own societies? Is the European project about to fail? Please join the New Atlantic Initiative for a discussion of these fundamental and timely issues. |
