BREXIT and Britain's Vision for Europe
UK's Brexit referendum shocked both Her Majesty's Government and EU officials. Unlike other referendums it could not be ignored. The real issue is Democracy, not trade. The outcome will surprise both parties. A democratic exit from the European Community is not possible. Its founding purpose is to reinforce democracy and human rights. Three issues will make further democratic reform inevitable. Instead of threatening the unity of the United Kingdom and perhaps shattering the European Union, Brexit provides an extraordinary opportunity to launch a Golden Age both for UK, Europe and for global trade and democracy. All this depends on in-depth discussions, not secretive ones. The core issue is ethical and moral. It will require clear thinking by both sides. This book provides that in-depth analysis. It is written by David Heilbron Price, veteran journalist and Editor of the Schuman Project. He has researched European democracy over five decades. He provides all the elements for a successful outcome.
JESUS, JAMES, JOSEPH, and the past and future Temple
In Roman times, the historic records say the world's most beautiful city was Jerusalem. Amid the city, the Temple shone out in gold and white stone. About a million man-years were involved in its ingenious structure. It astounded the world. To the north lay the fortress city of Antonia, connected by a causeway. Another causeway crossed the ravine of the Kidron to the Mount of Olives. Worldwide the exiled tribes of Israel supplied vast quantities of gold and treasures. Millions came to worship. James the brother of Jesus had a throne inside the Temple. He prayed in the Holy Place. He followed in the steps of his father Joseph. Jesus had a far higher office than either. It is described both in the New Testament and early writers of the first centuries. The facts of the resurrection were so clear that Roman emperor Tiberius immediately proclaimed Jesus a God. Others like Caligula tried to destroy the Temple and Jerusalem. Rome also tried to destroy the real facts about Jesus, James and Joseph in the Temple.
STOPPING the Nuclear threat in Europe and South Asia
After World War Two, European States expected further wars. Many States including Switzerland, France, Germany, wanted to create their own A-bombs. War did not happen. Instead Europe entered the longest period of peace in more than 2000 years. Thanks to the diplomacy of Robert Schuman, creator of the European Community, European States created an Atomic Energy Community which controlled the use of fissile material for bombs. Today among worldwide crises and threats of nuclear war, Europe needs to complete the obligations in the Euratom Treaty of 1957. How should democrats deal with the Indian bomb, the Pakistani bomb and the Iranian bomb? This short book shows how to apply the blueprint of the successful European experiment elsewhere. 'It is possible for the world to cure itself from the threat of nuclear war, ' says author, David H Price, Schuman historian, journalist and former Euratom official. 'Not only that, it is possible for the world to enter a time of great prosperity.'
Law and Religion in a Secular Age
Law and Religion in a Secular Age seeks to restore the connection between spirituality and justice, religion and law, theology and jurisprudence, and natural law and positive law by building a new bridge suitable for pluralistic societies in the secular age. The author argues for a multidimensional view of reality that includes legal, political, moral, and spiritual dimensions of human nature and society. Each of these dimensions of life needs to recognize the existence, influence, and function of the others, which act as a filter or check on the excesses of each other. This multidimensionality of reality clarifies why no legal theory can fully account for law from the legal dimension alone,...
Christian Faith, Philosophy & International Relations
International relations are in constant turbulence. Globalisation, the rise and fall of superpowers, the fragilisation of the EU, trade wars, real wars, terrorism, persecution, new nationalism and identity politics, climate change, are just a few of the recent disturbing developments. How can international issues be understood and addressed from a Christian faith perspective? In this book answers are presented from various Christian traditions: Neo-calvinism, Catholic social teaching, critical theory and Christian realism. The volume offers fundamental theological and Christian philosophical perspectives on international relations and global challenges, case studies about inspiring Christian leaders such as Robert Schuman, Dag Hammarskjöld, Abraham Kuyper and prophetic critiques of supranational issues.
Conquering Peace
A bold new look at war and diplomacy in Europe that traces the idea of a unified continent in attempts since the eighteenth century to engineer lasting peace. Political peace in Europe has historically been elusive and ephemeral. Stella Ghervas shows that since the eighteenth century, European thinkers and leaders in pursuit of lasting peace fostered the idea of European unification. Bridging intellectual and political history, Ghervas draws on the work of philosophers from Abbé de Saint-Pierre, who wrote an early eighteenth-century plan for perpetual peace, to Rousseau and Kant, as well as statesmen such as Tsar Alexander I, Woodrow Wilson, Winston Churchill, Robert Schuman, and Mikhail Go...
The European Union
The EU is one of the most notoriously complex international organisations. It is the only supranational organisation where nation-states agree to share sovereignty in some areas but not in others. At the heart of the EU debate across Europe are two opposing groups: one aims to devolve more sovereignty to the EU, with the aim of creating a European 'super-state' and the other wishes to devolve less, effectively relegating the EU to a mere discussion forum. In this accessible and engaging book, Mark Corner provides an essential introduction to the history and modern workings of the EU. Focusing on key themes in the union's development and the debates surrounding future enlargement, this book answers the key questions related to the EU and provides a 'one-stop shop' for anyone curious about future of Europe.
