Download or read book The Euro written by David Marsh and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2011-08-23 with total page 632 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first comprehensive political and economic account of the birth and development of the Euro. Today the Euro is the supranational currency for sixteen European countries and the world's second-largest reserve currency. David Marsh tells the story of the rivalries, intrigues, and deal making that brought about a currency for Europe, and he analyzes the achievements and shortcomings of its first decade of existence. While the Euro represents a remarkable triumph of political will, great pressures are building on the single currency. Drawing on more than 100 interviews with leading figures associated with the Euro, and scores of secret documents from international archives, Marsh underscores the Euro's importance for the global economy, in particular for U.S. and British economic and political agendas. Hidden facts and fresh insights from The Euro --How the legacy of France and Germany's tortuous relations affects the Euro--Why the United Kingdom is unlikely to accept the Euro before 2025--The impact on the Euro of the U.S. credit crisis--How the Euro has rebounded against the aspirations of its founders--How Italy and Spain have massively lost competitiveness--Why radical changes must be adopted to prevent a European upheaval
Download or read book The European Social Model Adrift written by Serena Romano and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-09 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents a new perspective for discussing the European social contract and its main challenges, bringing together single-nation and comparative studies from across Europe. Presenting both theoretical discussions and empirical case studies, it explores various aspects of social cohesion, including social protection, the labour market, social movements, healthcare, social inequalities and poverty. With particular attention to the effects of the international economic and financial crisis on social cohesion, particularly in the light of the implementation of so-called ’austerity measures’, authors engage with questions surrounding the possible fragmentation of the European model of social cohesion and the transformation of forms of social protection, asking whether social cohesion continues to represent - if it ever did - a common feature of European countries. Breaking new ground in understanding the future of Social Europe and its main dynamics of change, The European Social Model Adrift will appeal to scholars of sociology, social policy and politics, with interests in social cohesion, the effects of financial crisis and the European social model.
Download or read book Political Leadership in the European Union written by Ingeborg Tömmel and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-07 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The challenges that have been facing the European Union in recent years have given rise to the question: who leads the EU? This book offers a systematic analysis of political leadership in the EU. This volume offers a theoretical and conceptual analysis of political leadership in the EU. It deals with questions such as what kind of leadership is there in the different domains (such as climate change or central banking). It also examines how various EU institutions (European Commission, European Parliament) exert or have exerted leadership. Furthermore, it examines the role of the presidents of some of these institutions, such as the European Commission the European Council, the European Central Bank, but also of selected national leaders. Although the book does not advance a single leadership concept, the findings of the individual case studies show that the EU is by no means leaderless. The chapters originally published as a special issue in the Journal of European Integration.
Download or read book A Political Theory of Identity in European Integration written by Catherine Guisan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-03-01 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a theoretical and historical examination of the speech and deeds of European founders. Using a fresh and innovative approach, this monograph connects political theory with concrete political practices based on empirical evidence, and theorizes the internal process of European reconciliations as it has been experienced by those involved. The book draws upon over 100 interviews, memoirs, autobiographies and essays of elite and grassroot actors across the history of the European Union, from the founding of the European Coal and Steel Community in 1950-2 to the 2010 financial crisis. It introduces the reader to major contemporary Western political thinkers, Hannah Arendt, Jürgen Habermas, Charles Taylor and Paul Ricoeur, and examines how their theories develop the interpretation of political phenomena such as European integration. As one of the first studies of EU memories, this approach opens a unique window of analysis to view the development of the European community, and makes a fascinating contribution to our understanding of the political tradition born of 60 years of European integration. A Political Theory of Identity in European Integration: Memory and Policies will be of strong interest to students and scholars of European politics, contemporary democratic theory and EU studies.
Download or read book Aftershocks written by Anton Hemerijck and published by Amsterdam University Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Aftershocks was written in the midst of the deepest economic crisis since the Great Depression. Although it would be premature to presume to identify the repercussions of the crisis, it is clear that it will have profound aftershock effects in the political, economic, and social spheres. The book contains essays based on semi-structured interviews with leading scholars, European politicians and representatives from the world of business. They reflect on the origins of the crisis as well as the possible social, economic, and political transformations it may engender."--Publisher's description.
Download or read book The Single Currency and European Citizenship written by Giovanni Moro and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2013-02-28 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Established in 2002, the Euro is now the currency of 17 countries used by over 335 million people daily. Although the single currency is much discussed in terms of macroeconomics and global finances, policymakers rarely address its impact on European citizenship in social, cultural, political, and everyday life economics terms. This hidden side of the single currency is the focus of the essays, which use various approaches, from economic history and political sociology to citizenship and legitimacy, to reveal the connections between the Euro and European citizenship. This timely contribution by renowned experts provides a greater understanding of the Euro at a time when it is not clear whether it should be celebrated or commemorated, and looks into aspects of the single currency that are the base of the social trust that supports it and that is at stake in the present crisis. It will be an essential tool to anyone studying the political, social, and economic development of the E.U.
Download or read book Imagined Embodied and Actual Turks in Early Modern Europe written by Bent Holm and published by Hollitzer Wissenschaftsverlag. This book was released on 2021-07-23 with total page 555 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The confrontation between European countries and the expanding Ottoman Empire in the early modern era has played a major role in numerous fields of history. The aim of this book is to investigate the European-Ottoman interrelations from three angles. One deals with the circumstances: How did the Europeans meet the Turks in pragmatic and diplomatic connections? Another concerns imagery: how were the Turks depicted in literature and art? The third examines performativity: how were the Turks inserted into plays, operas and ceremonies? This book confronts mental, visual and embodied images with historical positions and conditions. The focus, therefore, is on the dynamic interactive processes of experience, embodiment and imagination in context. Bringing together Turkish and European scholars, it applies a number of research strategies used by historians to the history of art, literature, music and theatre.

Download or read book Les Acad mies dans l Europe humaniste written by Marc Deramaix and published by Librairie Droz. This book was released on 2008 with total page 708 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Héritières de l'Académie de Platon et de la réflexion de Pétrarque sur le loisir lettré, cénacles d'érudits et d'artistes sous la protection de puissants mécènes, les premières académies italiennes et françaises constituent l'un des cadres privilégiés du renouveau philologique, artistique, philosophique et scientifique qui va transfigurer l'Europe de la Renaissance. Les Académies dans l'Europe humaniste forment le premier ouvrage d'une telle envergure sur le sujet ; il pose un regard neuf sur le mouvement académique en Europe jusque vers 1600, notamment les premières académies italiennes (académie romaine de Pomponio Leto, académie napolitaine du Panhormite, puis de Pontano, académie florentine de Careggi, avec Marsile Ficin), les Académies royales françaises du règne des Valois (Académie de Poésie et de Musique, Académie du Palais) sans oublier d'autres organisations contemporaines moins connues. Des recherches documentaires présentent le personnel des divers groupes et les œuvres où s'expriment leurs idéaux. L'observation des rapports qu'elles entretiennent permet de définir la forme et les activités de chaque institution ainsi que la nature de leur contribution à l'extension des savoirs : enrichissement de la philologie classique, de la poétique, de la rhétorique, constitution de dictionnaires ou de répertoires linguistiques, archéologiques ou iconographiques, réflexion sur les arts à la lumière des traditions chrétienne ou néo-platonicienne, ambitions pédagogiques ; se dégage aussi le rôle majeur de la musique dans plusieurs académies. L'étude des liens matériels et idéologiques entre ces sociétés et les Grands (papes, rois, mécènes) donne enfin de mesurer la « liberté » dont jouissent les académies, particulièrement dans leur vocation encyclopédique et européenne.
Download or read book Ottoman Empire and European Theatre V written by Michael Hüttler and published by Hollitzer Wissenschaftsverlag. This book was released on 2019-05-22 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book series "Ottomania" researches cultural transfers between the Ottoman Empire and Europe, with the performing arts as its focus. The fifth volume of the sub-series Ottoman Empire and European Theatre focuses on The Turkish Subject in Ballet and Dance from the seventeenth century to the time of Christoph W. Gluck (1714-1787). The Turkish theme was a popular topic on European ballet stages throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and most influential choreographers had 'Turkish' ballets in their repertoire. Taking as its departure point Ch. W. Gluck and Gasparo Angiolini (1741-1803), succesful composer and choreographer of ballets at the French theatre in Vienna, this publication discusses the topic from a historical perspective, presents new findings, and introduces the latest scholarly achievements of the research field.
