Tracing the roots of the Commission s decline from the early1990s through to the Eurozone and refugee crises, Stuart A Brown draws on newevidence to illustrate why the EU s executive now faces a battle for itsfuture, and asks whether in the reforms of Jean-Claude Juncker the Commissionmay be facing its last chance.
