|
By David
Harrison and Philip Ward*
"In a
dying civilisation, political prestige is the reward not of the
shrewdest diagnostician but of the man with the best bedside manner. It
is the decoration conferred on mediocrity by ignorance."
(Eric Ambler: The Mask of Dimitrios)
(* David Harrison is a lawyer,
author, former diplomat and deputy director of the Council on European
Responsibilities (COEUR). Philip Ward is an investment banker and
member of the steering committee of COEUR).

| WHERE NEXT FOR THE EUROPEAN COUNCIL ? |

By
David Harrison (*)
“In
such constitutions there are two parts […]: first, those which

by which it, in fact, works and rules.” (Walter Bagehot, 1867: “The English Constitution”)
