For centuries, British identity has been shaped by ideas of exceptionalism, grandeur and competence. Yet British democracy is failing. Governments supported by a minority of voters are elected with enormous majorities under a deeply unrepresentative first-past-the-post system. The result has been failed leaders delivering wounding blows to the country's economy, prosperity and international image. Britain Is Better Than This explores what lies beneath this sense of malaise, revealing the structural and constitutional failures at the heart of a sclerotic political system.

For 60 years, the United States has supported European integration on a bipartisan basis - not only because this has served European interests, but because it has promoted American interests as well. As core partners in transatlantic efforts to address regional and global economic, political and security challenges, the US and the EU have collaborated critically over the years to make the world a less turbulent place. That is, until the 2016 election of Donald J. Trump.

In 2012 on Catalonia's National Day, the Diada, an enormous crowd calling for Catalan independence took over the heart of Barcelona. On the back of this show of force, Catalonia's governing politicians turned secessionist claims into a new headache for a Madrid government only just recovering from the near-meltdown of Spain's financial system. Five years on, the separatist challenge has neither come to fruition nor faded away.

The European Union is the most ambitious, and one of the most contentious, international organizations ever created. Decisions made in Brussels shape the lives of over 500 million Europeans, and its laws and policies resonate around the world.

In this major account, Dermot Hodson traces the development of the European Union from its establishment in 1993 through to Brexit, COVID-19, and the invasion of Ukraine.

España ocupa una posición geoestratégica clave a nivel mundial que despierta la codicia de países como Marruecos que desea apoderarse de territorio español y Reino Unido que no quiere perder su control sobre el Peñón de Gibraltar.

Nel 1861 si forma il Regno d'Italia: dopo molti secoli di frammentazione statale la penisola è così riunita in un'unica compagine, i cui territori vengono completati nei dieci anni seguenti. È un evento rivoluzionario, vissuto in questi termini dai contemporanei, in Italia e fuori d'Italia. In questo libro l'autore analizza il lungo processo di formazione del movimento nazionale, dai primi slanci patriottici di fine Settecento alle organizzazioni insurrezionali, ai tentativi rivoluzionari della prima metà dell'Ottocento fino all'anno cruciale del regno.

Max Czollek's De-Integrate! is a polemical, often humorous examination of Jewish life in contemporary Germany that speaks to the position of minorities the world over. Rooted in sociological theory, the book offers an engaging and approachable critique of Germany's much-lauded traditions of memory culture and Vergangenheitsbewältigung—its "successful" negotiation of its Nazi past.

Was macht die Ukraine aus? Erst mit der russischen Annexion der Krim entwickelte sich ein Bewusstsein für die Eigenständigkeit dieses Landes, das nach dem Willen der Aggressoren nun von der Landkarte verschwinden soll. Seit vielen Jahren ist Karl Schlögel in der Ukraine unterwegs, seine ukrainischen Lektionen von 2015 ergänzt er nun um einen großen Essay über den Krieg, der sich gegen die Idee der Freiheitlichkeit überhaupt richtet.

Europa ist mit einem grausamen Krieg an seiner Grenze konfrontiert und steht dreißig Jahre nach Wiedervereinigung und Maastrichter Vertrag am Scheideweg. Ulrike Guérot und Hauke Ritz beleuchten in ihrem Essay „Endspiel Europa“ die Entwicklung der Europäischen Union seit 1992 und besinnen sich auf die ursprünglichen europäischen Werte und Ziele: ein souveränes Europa und eine kontinentale Friedensordnung.

The 2010s were a decade of foodbanks, riots, and the rebirth of political alternatives. Looking to escape a future of rising debt, falling living standards and climate meltdown, a set of movements were born. A new wave of optimistic, radical young people were building mass movements outside the political bubble, rejecting the neo-liberal consensus and the enrichment of the 1%, and laying the foundations of a new left. Eight years later, Bernie Sanders was favorite to clinch the Democratic Party nomination, and Jeremy Corbyn and Momentum had taken over the Labour Party in Britain.

¿Quién manda en España? ¿Por qué mandan los que ocupan puestos de poder en los ministerios, secretarías de Estado, direcciones generales? ¿Qué redes de intereses les unen entre sí? Más allá de las "puertas giratorias", unos grupos pequeños de altos funcionarios, personas vinculadas al poder real, sobre todo al económico, toman las decisiones y lo hacen sin responder ante los ciudadanos ni escucharles. Porque las élites de poder no se presentan a las elecciones ni defienden un programa electoral.

Taking as its starting point the COVID-19 pandemic and way it will inevitably accelerate some key global dynamics already in play, the book goes on to weave history, strategy, policy, and technology into a compelling analytical narrative.

Le elezioni del 2013 e quelle del 2018 hanno avuto carattere eccezionale. Con le loro scelte di voto gli italiani hanno prima indebolito e poi definitivamente travolto il sistema politico formatosi nel 1994, aprendo la via a un mutamento politico che non ha pari in Europa; del resto proprio le elezioni del Parlamento europeo del maggio 2019 si prospettano come il sigillo finale di un cambiamento epocale.
