Sommario/riassunto

Risk covers the stakes attached to the European project. Reform is the attempt to reshape it in its pursuit of efficiency, effectiveness, and avoidance of the risk of non-reform. Resistance refers to the forces that oppose reform. Revival covers the breakthroughs caused by shifts in the balance between these three concepts.
