DJohn Laughland

As well as serving as the European Director of the European Foundation, the leading London-based Eurorealist think tank, Dr Laughland also writes regularly for a wide range of British, European and American publications. He is also the author of The Death of Politics: France under Mitterrand and The Tainted Source: the Undemocratic Origins of the European Idea, in which he argues convincingly that an ideology is sweeping Europe that threatens democracy and the rule of law. He shows that the 'post-national ideology' (that nation-states are no longer capable of running their own affairs in a modern, interdependent world economy) confuses the constitution of a state with the power of its government, and neglects the sense of community essential to the democratic arrangement. A third edition of The Tainted Source will soon be published in several European countries. John Laughland is also a trustee and an active member of the British Helsinki Human Rights Group. He is a former lecturer at the Institut d'Etudes Politiques (Sciences Po) in Paris and has taught at many other universities in Europe and America.
