Reviews

A concise yet highly accessible and relevant contribution to the debate on Euroscepticism and the problems the EU faces. * Martijn Lak, The Hague University of Applied Sciences, and Erasmus University Rotterdam, Journal of World History * I strongly recommend the book not only to todays readers with an interest in European issues, but also to the readers of tomorrow. * Simon Metropolitski, LSE Blog * [Slippery Slope's chief virtue is that, with chapters on Africa, Asia and the digital revolution, it places the EU's challenges in broader global and technological contexts. He rightly emphasises that, for the sake of Europe's younger generations, the vital task is to inject more dynamism into the economy so that Europe, which at times seems to display a cultural resistance to becoming more innovation-friendly , can hold its own in an increasingly competitive world. * Tony Barber, Financial Times * Lucid... accessible prose flush with strong argument. * New York Times Book Review *

Author Information

Giles Merritt was named by the Financial Times in 2010 as one of 30 'Eurostars' who most influence thinking on Europe's future, along with the European Commission's president and the secretary-general of NATO. For 15 years a Financial Times foreign correspondent, Merritt has reported and commented on European affairs since the early 1970s. He went on to found 'Friends of Europe', one of the leading think tanks in Brussels, and the policy journal Europe's World, of which he is the Editor-in-Chief. His Op-Ed columns in the International Herald Tribune from 1985-2010, and since then in the hundreds of newspapers around the world that subscribe to Project Syndicate, have ranged widely across political and economic issues in Europe. His previous books include World Out of Work, an award-winning analysis of unemployment issues, and The Challenge of Freedom, on the difficulties facing post-communist Eastern Europe.
