In this Podcast episode Making Europe series editor and co-author of the volume Writing the Rules for Europe, Johan Schot, brings to you the story of Englebert Hondelink, a technical expert who contributed to restoring peace in Europe after the Second World War. Johan Schot addresses why current decision making structures in the EU urgently need rethinking, and why it remains so challenging to create a much needed European identity as he calls for the European Union to redefine itself in order to approach the great challenges (migration, climate change and growing inequality) we’re facing today.
