BBC Radio 4 - Is the European Dream Over?

Bridget Kendall and guests look beyond the crisis in Greece to assess the future of Europe

Bridget Kendall and a distinguished panel look beyond the immediate crisis in Greece to assess the future of Europe.

The European project is in crisis. Greece teeters on the brink of bankruptcy. Other members are split over whether to shore it up or let it leave the European single currency - a project that was supposed to be irreversible. 

Whatever happens, this Greek drama is a potential turning point - not just for Greece, but for Europe. Donald Tusk, the Polish President of the European Council, has called it the most critical moment in the EU's history. 

So, in this programme, Bridget Kendall and guests look beyond the immediate crisis to assess the future of Europe. Has the project reached its high water mark? What might it look like in ten years' time? Indeed: is the European dream over?

Producer: Chris Bowlby.
