The Significance of Borders by Thierry Baudet
For almost three-quarters of a century, the countries of Western Europe have abandoned national sovereignty as an ideal. Nation states are being dismantled: by supranationalism from above, by multiculturalism from below. This book explains why supranationalism and multiculturalism are in fact irreconcilable with representative government and the rule of law. It challenges one of the most central beliefs in contemporary legal and political philosophy, which is that borders are bound to disappear.
A very serious workIt tackles a large and important subject with a calm and serious argument. The author develops his views with an unusual degree of energy and persistence. - Jeremy A. Rabkin A lucid and important book - Theodore Dalrymple
