From ‘Carbon Democracy’ to ‘Climate Democracy’?
What are the democratic requirements for effective climate action? how can ‘climate democracy’ be conceptualised? Liberal democracies emerged on the back of fossil fuels, creating what Tim Mitchell called ‘carbon democracy’. Three decades of climate policy have affirmed the controlling influence of fossil fuel interests. Runaway climate change now threatens the very foundations of social life. Today we face a very clear democratic question, of whether the fossil fuel sector has the right to determine the planet’s climate future. Achieving global energy transformation at the scope and scale needed requires a democratic transformation, to overcome the stranglehold. This book examines...

Annuaire Europeen 2000/European Yearbook 2000
The year 2000's most significant international event was, almost certainly, neither political nor military, but scientific - the announcement, in June, that the human genome had been almost totally decoded. Future generations may well see this as a major turning point, opening the way to radical changes in diagnosis, prognosis, and medical treatment. Often compared with the space programme, this vast enterprise still generates misgivings: this new power, which human beings now have, to modify the genetic heritage of living creatures raises fundamentally new ethical questions - and society as a whole will have to find the answers. In fact, the accelerating pace of scientific and technical pro...
The Other '68ers
This is a history of 1968 written from a new perspective-that of center-right student activists in West Germany. Based on oral history interviews and new archival sources, it examines the ideas, experiences, and repertoires of center-right students in this age of protest. Writing these activists back into the history of 1968 and its afterlives -including student protest, cultural revolt, internationalism, debates about left-wing violence and the terror of the Red Army Faction, the memory wars of the 1980s and beyond - reveals that this was a broader, more versatile, and, ultimately, more consequential phenomenon than the traditionally narrower focus on a left-wing minority allows. Other '68e...
Rethinking Social Movements after '68
The year 1968 has widely been viewed as the only major watershed moment during the latter half of the twentieth century. Rethinking Social Movements after ’68 takes on this conventional approach, exploring the spaces, practices, organization, ideas and agendas of numerous activists and movements across the 1970s and 1980s. From the Maoist Communist League to the women’s movement, youth center movement, and gay liberation movement, established and emerging scholars across Europe and North America shed new light on the development of modern European popular politics and social change.

Nel continente nero
«Costituire un ordine è più importante che conquistare il potere.» È una scritta, ormai cancellata, che correva lungo un muro di Roma, in via Merulana. Potrebbe partire da questo assunto la lunga e approfondita inchiesta di Francesco Cancellato sui partiti della Destra europea. Alla vigilia delle elezioni del 2024, il fronte delle Destre, più o meno estreme, si presenta più forte che mai, anche grazie all'affermazione, in Italia, del partito di Giorgia Meloni. Così, attraverso interviste a colleghi stranieri e confronti con esperti e attivisti, spostandosi dalle piazze polacche a quelle spagnole, il direttore di Fanpage.it ricostruisce l'ascesa delle formazioni di Destra nei singoli ...
