DEN HAAG (PDC) - Europe Lecture speaker Jonathan Holslag recently published 'De kracht van het paradijs - Hoe Europa kan overleven in de Aziatische eeuw' (English: 'The power of paradise - How Europe will survive the Asian century'). After three books on China, the young Belgian academic has now started to dive into the role of Europe on the international stage. 

'De kracht van het paradijs' is about the position of Europe in a changing global order. Holslag describes how the European Union should address the significant challenges that lie ahead, and how Europe can survive in an Asian century. 

In De Volkskrant, journalist Fokke Obbema (author of the book 'China en Europa') describes the vision of Jonathan Holslag as "daring and inspiring". In the bookreview, Holslag is praised for outlining a comprehensive escape route for the European Union in a time of euroscepticism.
