Will the European elections of 4-9 June 2024 be a test for the European institutions? These five-yearly elections will see 720 seats in the European Parliament allocated to help guide EU decision-making. They will be crucial elections, after the huge legislative output of the current Commission, after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and on European values. Many issues are at stake, including whether European logic or local conditions will dominate in the elections.
To take a look at as many avenues of thought as possible, we invite Timothy Garton Ash, professor of European Studies at Oxford University. A reporter on European politics for more than 50 years, he has been covering news about the continent and its most dramatic events. The Europe expert will provide a critical perspective from his position as an expert during interviews with four members of the European Parliament.
2022 saw the publication of Ash's most recent book; Europe. A Personal History.

Timothy Garten Ash in conversation with Kalypso Nicolaïdis and Andrea Renda
