Die Sicherung der Werteunion.

»Safeguarding the Union of Values. Options for Action for the European Union to Protect the Common Values of Art. 2 TEU«: The formation of autocratic governments in EU member states poses the question how the Union can react.

Nevertheless, the author shows small rooms of improvement within the existing treaties.
