Economists, actors of civil society, European Commission high-level officers, they are all committed to and fascinated by Europe. Here, they set the framework for the debate: the Union must undertake important changes so that citizens can understand the meaning and the positive impacts of its policies. Companions of adventure in the quest for the European interest, the authors suggest original choices so that the Union is able to anticipate its future in the global world. Globalization raises new challenges for all the policies of the European Union. A rebirth of education, a restoration of social Europe, building a base camp for European companies, developing external economic policies, these objectives call for an understanding of the European common interest which should never be mistaken again with the promotion of different national interests. They call for a new vision of the relationship to the world and for a change of governance at the State level and at the European Union level. Eighteen articles provoke the debate and the exchange of ideas. These articles create a project based upon the renewal of the growth strategy, the competition and employment policies in the European Union, so that this Union becomes a true global actor in the world.
