Capitalism Reconnected
Capitalism has gone astray. Today we face ecological exhaustion, persistent inequality, financialization, stress on communities, short-termism, and new power concentrations. An avalanche of new economic thinking and a reorientation of European values show the way toward a different economy. A new perspective is necessary if we want to implement the Sustainable Development Goals and if we consider our planet as 'Our Common Home,' for present and future generations. This book argues that European economies should be the initiators of a global transition toward a sustainable and inclusive world economy. Together, amid severe geopolitical and geoeconomic challenges, they need to develop their own perspective on what a good economy really is, in distinction to Chinese state capitalism and American big business capitalism. Crucially, this requires the rediscovery of key European values, a coherent view on responsible capitalism, and a new self-awareness as a global player for the Common Good in today's and tomorrow's world.

Risky liaisons?
In a democracy, there is always the risk of antagonism, conflict and opposition rising to the surface. Most people in the West take these risks for granted and are predisposed to accept the imperfections of the system. Globally, however, democracy is not as self-evident. Actually, its acclaimed universality is highly contested. To what extent is democracy a Western, Eurocentric project? And to what extent is this form of government compatible with other cultural contexts and value systems? In this book, the authors address these questions by revealing how democracy is informed by religious values from a variety of traditions. In doing so, they make clear that religion and democracy are not a...

Ontwaken uit de geopolitieke sluimer
"De oorlog is terug in Europa. De Russische aanval op Oekraïne dwingt Europa de geopolitieke realiteit onder ogen te zien. Is de positie van Europa, met alle afhankelijkheden van de Verenigde Staten, China, Rusland en andere staten wel houdbaar? En hoe moeten Europa en de Europese Unie zichzelf geopolitiek positioneren? In deze bundel aandacht voor de geopolitieke spanningen waar men in Europa al langer mee worstelt, maar waar we nu werkelijk mee worden geconfronteerd. De bijdragen gaan moeilijke thema’s niet uit de weg. Zo wordt er gesproken over territorium, macht en identiteit. Het zijn thema’s die lang buiten het denken en doen van de Europese bestuurskamers zijn gehouden, maar die hernieuwde aandacht behoeven. 'Ontwaken uit de geopolitieke sluimer: de herpositionering van Europa in een woelige wereld' bestaat uit bijdragen van Govert Buijs, Luuk van Middelaar, Frans-Paul van der Putten, Monika Sie Dhian Ho, Haroon Sheikh, Paul Scheffer, Paul Timmers, Eelke de Jong, Trineke Palm, René Cuperus en Paul Bosman." --
