Synopsis: "Like virtually all national liberal democracies at the present moment, the supra-national one at the European level is also in crisis.  There is, of course, nothing new about this.  The EU has suffered and, indeed,  profited from many crises in the past ... except that this time it has to face multiple and more serious  challenges at the same time, not sequentially and incrementally as before.  In this talk, I will first analyze the nature of these coincident crises and then explore some suggested changes in institutions and practices that might be sufficient to make of the European Union, the world's largest-scale 'post-liberal' democracy."
