New Governance for New Challenges in the European Union

Stefan Schepers

Chapter 4 in Rethinking the Future of Europe, 2014, pp 77-117 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Throughout history, political systems have come and gone; they have gradually developed through complex interactions between geographic and climatic circumstances, technology, economic systems and trade, metaphysical and rationalist beliefs, demography, cultural influences and social expectations, and influences from other systems. They have flourished and declined, often absorbed into a new political order more open to adapting to the continuously changing times (Fukuyama, 2011). The transition from one political order to a new one often leads to a period of conflict and war, economic and demographic decline, public uncertainty and changes in the social-cultural paradigms.
