Summary
The debate on European integration is not a new exercise. However, as integration deepened and the political system became increasingly differentiated, more and more civil society actors as well as citizens were engaged in this debate in the period under analysis. The debate was reinvigorated by the Conference on the Future of Europe, initiated by French President Emanuel Macron and endorsed by Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission. The EU3D database collects more than 950 reform proposals on the future of the European Union that a broad range of actors (national and European, political and non-political) presented between 2015 and 2022. In the accompanying report authors have conducted in-depth case studies on several key member states Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Poland, Sweden, Hungary, Czech Republic and Slovakia as well as Norway and actors like European think tanks.
The report was edited by Magdalena Góra and Tiziano Zgaga and has contributions from Magdalena Góra, Tiziano Zgaga, Raquel Ugarte Díez, Cécile Pelaudeix, Sabine Saurugger, Fabien Terpan, Max Heermann, Kris Inga Mewes, Max Steuer, Silva Hoffmann, Birthe Einen, Kinga Sekerdej, Monica García Quesada, Natasza Styczynska and Marcin Zubek.
