After Merkozy
"Once they have forged a new compromise on growth, François Hollande and Angela Merkel should work to restore the eurozone's cohesion. The visit of President François Hollande to Berlin points to a willingness for the Franco-German tandem to iron-out policy differences and propose a new compromise on austerity and growth before the EU summit on June 28. "It will certainly be important for Germany and France to do a joint presentation of their ideas at this Council", said Chancellor Angela Merkel at a joint press conference during Hollande's first official visit to Berlin. In "After Merkozy: How France and Germany can make Europe work", Ulrike Guérot and Thomas Klau argue that: A Franco-Ge...
To the Uttermost Ends of the Earth
The enthralling story of the greatest Civil War battle at sea by the award-winning and bestselling historians Phil Keith and Tom Clavin. On June 19, 1864, just off the coast of France, one of the most dramatic naval battles in history took place. On a clear day with windswept skies, the dreaded Confederate raider Alabama faced the Union warship Kearsarge in an all-or-nothing fight to the finish, the outcome of which would effectively end the threat of the Confederacy on the high seas. Authors Phil Keith and Tom Clavin introduce some of the crucial but historically overlooked players, including John Winslow, captain of the USS Kearsarge, as well as Raphael Semmes, captain of the CSS Alabama. Readers will sail aboard the Kearsarge as Winslow embarks for Europe with a set of simple orders from the secretary of the navy: "Travel to the uttermost ends of the earth, if necessary, to find and destroy the Alabama." Winslow pursued Semmes in a spectacular fourteen-month chase over international waters, culminating in what would become the climactic sea battle of the Civil War.
Das laute Schweigen des Max Grund
Max Grund, ein Bürger wie du und ich, kann viele politische Entscheidungen nicht mehr nachvollziehen. Die Pandemie scheint viele Probleme in Deutschland offenkundig gemacht zu haben. Vernünftige Diskussionen in Politik und Medien sind selten oder gar unmöglich geworden. Zu oft werden die Menschen belehrt, was sie denken und wie sie leben sollen. Die Leute sind vorsichtig geworden. Ein falscher Satz könnte der eigenen Reputation schaden. Für Max Grund als Unternehmer sind es schwere Zeiten. Er macht sich viele Gedanken und sucht vergeblich die geeignete Bühne, auf der er Gesellschaftskritik fair anbringen kann. Im Alltag lehnt sich Max auf gegen eine politische und mediale Meinungsdikta...
Brexit
Brexit traces the implications of the UK’s projected withdrawal from the EU, placing short-term political fluctuations in a broader historical and social context of the transformation of European and global society. This book provides a forum for leading Eurosociologists (broadly defined), working inside and outside the UK, to rethink their analyses of the European project and its prospects, as well as to reflect on the likely implications for the UK.

National Pasts in Europe and East Asia
With the rise of industrial capitalism in Europe and the related imposition of colonial rule in much of East Asia, both Europe and East Asia have intertwined histories that continue to shape their political thinking and political decision making. The contemporary interactions of the two regions – now once again major trading partners – will both depend upon and facilitate deeper understandings of their respective sets of national pasts. This book compares national pasts as well as the current processes of change taking place in Europe and East Asia, including the dynamics of the European Union in Europe and the re-emergence of the historical centre of China in East Asia. It argues that as the change unfolds in the economic, social and political fields, the various national pasts embedded with the polities of the two regions will also need to be revisited and reworked. This book makes an invaluable contribution to research on comparative politics, as well as studies on South East Asia and Europe.
