The Journal of Common Market Studies (JCMS) Annual Review covers the major events concerning the European Union (EU) in the past year. In addition to articles written by leading experts in their respective fields covering a wide array of political, economic and legal issues, this year's Annual Review includes Thomas Christiansen's Annual Lecture on the ability of the European institutional architecture to adapt in face of repeated crises. Reflecting on the year just passed, 2019 was a time in which the EU could consolidate its role as an international actor and start to think strategically about its future. The articles included in this year's Annual Review cover the appointment of the first woman president the European Commission, the complex relationship between media coverage and citizens' engagement with the EU, citizens' rights vis-à-vis the ongoing process of Brexit, the impact of national elections (especially Italy and France) on EU politics, and the 2019 European Parliament elections in key member states. Additionally, this Annual Review was also an opportunity to reflect on the ten years since the Greek Crisis, the impact of austerity politics on the rise of anti-EU sentiments, the future of the European Neighbourhood Policy and finally the EU's role as a climate change actor. As a collection of articles, this year's contributions provide an authoritative, empirically grounded and theoretically informed assessment of key trends and challenges facing the EU for practitioners, scholars and students of European integration, as well as for general readers who simply want to know more about the European Union. The editorial team remains committed to inclusiveness, without detriment to quality, and to the objective of providing to our readership a pluralism of perspectives and voices.
