David Engels is a Belgian historian that works at the Zachodni Institute in Poznan (Poland). Specialised in ancient history, notably the Roman and Seleucidan civilizations, he is also a thinker of the European right and, for more than a decade, has debated questions around the subject of identity mainly in French and German-speaking media. In 2013, he was the author of “Le Déclin”, where he methodically compares the European Union with the declining Roman republic. In 2019, he published “Renovatio Europae” and “Que faire?”, two publications that talk about the future of Europe with the former discussing the reform of its institutions, and the latter directed at individuals.
