The forthcoming book from Palgrave Macmillan,\u00a0The Future of Europe: Views from the Capital<\/a>s<\/em>, sheds light on the political dynamics within the EU member states as well as Iceland, Norway, Switzerland and Turkey. The book features analysis from authors from all the respective states on how their country could get more involved in the European debate, \"taking the reader on a journey through various political landscapes and different views. The chapters cover issues ranging from a perceived lack of ambition at the periphery to a careful balancing act between diverse standpoints at the geographical centre.\" Anxiety regarding national sovereignty, the migration and border discourse, security concerns as well as the obvious need to regain trust and create policies that work, are among common themes that emerge throughout the book's diverse chapters.<\/p>\n

The chapter on Iceland,\u00a0Active Participation, an Icelandic-German Alliance and United Nordic Front<\/em>, concludes: \"Icelandic governments have failed to engage in the European debate on the future direction of the EU and the EEA. A new active strategy is needed in order for Icelandic political (including security and defence) and economic interests to be taken into account in discussions on Europe\u2019s future. A new threefold strategy which would consist of making changes to policy-making at home and active engagement abroad, an Iceland-German alliance, and a united Nordic front could improve Iceland\u2019s performance on the future direction of the EU and the EEA.\u201d<\/p>\n
