Paperback. "Kingdom of Europe - A Story of Hope, Responsibility and the Venture of Democracy" is a utopian-political novel that sets out a peaceful, realistic vision for the future of Europe. Instead of dystopia and scenarios of decline, this work develops a positive, yet deliberately non-naive, scenario: it asks what might happen if Europe were to unite not out of fear of the world, but to re-found itself out of responsibility for it. At the centre of the plot is the political process of transforming today's European Union into a genuine European federal state: the "Kingdom of Europe". Yet, contrary to what the name might suggest, this is not about restoring monarchy in the traditional sense, but about a political metaphor. Monarchy here is symbolic - it stands for moderation, dignity, historical memory and the power to unite in an age of increasing complexity. The book begins with a moment of upheaval: a secret meeting in Rome at which leading European heads of state and government - including Markus Soeder (Germany), Emmanuel Macron (France) and Keir Starmer (United Kingdom) - recognise the signs of the times. In a world of multiple crises - climate change, social division, technological upheaval and geopolitical tensions - they express the desire not merely to continue administering Europe, but to rethink it. From this impulse emerges a constitutional convention, whose opening in Oslo is presented as a foundational democratic moment. Representatives from politics, academia, civil society, youth and culture come together. They work publicly, in dialogue with the citizens of Europe, on a new constitution - the "Carta Europa". This is not about technocratic drafts, but about the great question: what holds Europe together? What must such a state guarantee? What can it do better than the old EU? The fundamental rights of the new state include not only classic freedoms and social protections, but also modern guarantees such as digital self-determination, climate justice, cult This item is printed on demand.

"Kingdom of Europe - A Story of Hope, Responsibility and the Venture of Democracy" is a utopian-political novel that sets out a peaceful, realistic vision for the future of Europe.
