The trouble in Europe is not just over its currency. Some say we are facing the near collapse of the EU's political system. So how deep do the roots of the crisis go? Can the tensions between north and south, big versus small countries, and those in and outside the Eurozone be reconciled? Or is it time to admit that as a political model and a source of universal values, Europe has not lived up to its dream? And how much can popular online campaigns really influence out of touch political elites? The views of German sociologist Ulrich Beck, British Europe specialist Maurice Fraser, and Indian campaigner Ricken Patel. Illustration by Emily Kasriel: people power - bringing Europe together or tearing it apart?
