The European Union in Search of Narratives
This book examines the legitimization of the European Union through the development and rapid rotation of narratives aiming to convey its identity and purpose. Utilizing literature and data across a wide range of interdisciplinary areas rarely studied together, the book argues that three narratives have been dominant over the last 20 years: ‘Europe of rights’, ‘Europe of values’ and a ‘European way of life’. It presents both theoretical and empirical research on the transformation of political domination, collective identities and EU legitimization, and analyses various 'crises' linked to socio-economic, security, identity and normative issues, such as terrorism and radicalizatio...
A Poor Girl
None
Once on a Tuesday
At first glance, Blue seems like an ordinary transgender girl. Working as the concierge at the Boon by the Lake Luxury Hotel, she enjoys being of service to people and tracking the goings-on of guests. However, deep down, Blue is anything but ordinary; she’s a clairvoyant, and she never knows when a spirit in need might be lurking around the next corner. When Blue meets Avant-garde Bernard, a wretch of a spirit trying to make amends for past wrongs, Blue is shocked to learn that he is her father from another life, and he has unfinished business. Whisking Blue from a vibrant downtown bar, Bernard guides Blue on a journey of discovery—both of his past and her own. Escapades of thievery, secret histories, and hidden tunnels abound, Blue is in for the adventure of a lifetime—one that will leave an undeniable mark on her complicated soul. Yet there is always a new challenge to tackle for Blue—between natural disasters, alien abduction, and deep, introspective self-reflection, Blue is ready to forge her identity and make a positive difference in the world.

Judging European Democracy
In several EU Member States, constitutional courts have reviewed European law on its compatibility with national constitutional law. These judgments deal with issues of major importance such as EU democratic legitimacy, the protection of fundamental rights, and the status of national sovereignty within the EU. Yet should national courts decide such issues of key constitutional significance for the EU? Or is it more democratic to leave these matters to political institutions that represent Europe's citizens and are politically accountable to them? In Judging European Democracy, Nik de Boer argues that the national courts' review of European law can actually constrain democratic debate over th...
