Democracy and Federalism in the European Union and the United States

The European Union - a supranational system with its own institutional characteristics and autonomy - has a structure and functional logic which are more similar to those of the US than those of European nation states. Yet, by and large, the EU and the US tend to be analyzed more as potential geopolitical and economic rivals or allies than compared as institutional peers. By bringing together some of the most influential political scientists and historians to compare the European and American experiences of federalism, Democracy and Federalism in the European Union and the United States explores the future development, and seeks a better understanding, of a post-national European Union democracy. This book consists of three core parts: how the EU has developed and the implications of the process of European federalization the features of American federalism, tracing the intellectual debate that led to the approval of the American federal constitution in 1787 the future of European Union. This is essential reading for all students of European politics, democracy and international relations.

The European Union's Africa Policies

The European Union (EU) is a key partner for African regional organizations and a major promoter of economic and political integration in the region. Several studies have interpreted the EU's role in Africa as either a self-interested hegemonic actor or as a value oriented normative power. In this volume, Daniela Sicurelli challenges these views by taking a closer look at Europe's policies towards Sub-Saharan Africa in the area of peacekeeping, trade and development, and environmental protection. Using fresh empirical evidence, including interviews with both European and African officials, she argues that the EU is far from becoming a unitary player in Africa. Lacking a clear strategy and co...

This volume engages with notions of lateness and modernity in medieval architecture, broadly conceived geographically, temporally, methodologically, and theoretically. It aims to (re)situate secular and religious buildings from the 14th through the 16th centuries that are indebted to medieval building practices and designs, within the more established narratives of art and architectural history.

L' amore è per tutti

Tre situazioni della vita comuni e spesso inevitabili, ma in questo caso con una complicazione in più: si tratta di tre coppie omosessuali ben decise a esercitare i propri diritti contro chi le considera delle “fuorilegge”. Camilla e Camilla, che si scoprono comicamente anime gemelle con lo stesso nome, Roberta e Giorgia, in lotta con la natura che le costringe a ricorrere a dolorosi trattamenti medici per poter concepire, e infine Alessia e Ilaria, alla prese con la sofferenza dei malati destinati a non guarire. Tre le narratrici, all'occorrenza sei, in una parabola di gioie e frustrazioni che le porta ad ottenere ciò che desiderano o ad affrontare un futuro non sempre facile. C'è ancora Milano sullo sfondo di “L'amore è per tutti”, nuovo romanzo di Mara Boselli che ci racconta la storia di sei donne alla ricerca di un loro spazio in una realtà che non le accetta per ciò che sono. Una storia toccante e al contempo fresca e ironica, che tratta di temi spinosi conditi con quel po' di gioia che tutti prima o poi proviamo, e perdiamo.

Italy in the European Union

Based on an analytical evaluation of both the weaknesses and strengths of the Italian political system, Italy in the European Union is the first book to offer a detailed and comprehensive description of Italy's contribution to European Union policy-making. The contributors to this volume systematically explore the role played by Italian institutional and noninstitutional actors in several decision-making processes. They show how Italian institutional actors define and promote national policy preferences that are compatible with those of the other European member states. However, the book functions on two levels: it is both a nuanced picture of Italy's role in the EU and a study of the EU as ...
