Book excerpt: « Un des problèmes les plus épineux auxquels se heurte l’historien qui veut analyser le XXe siècle européen est le fossé incommensurable qui sépare les deux moitiés du siècle. Entre 1900 et 1945, les Européens ont été entraînés dans deux des conflits les plus sanglants de l’histoire, ils ont dû surmonter l’instabilité économique et l’extrémisme politique, et l’une des grandes nations du continent s’est livrée au génocide systématique de tout un peuple. Puis, dans la seconde moitié du siècle, ils ont été contraints d’accepter une perte d’influence sur la scène internationale, tout en posant des bases institutionnelles inédites qui ont ouvert la voie à la croissance économique et à la paix entre pays voisins. » Robert O. Paxton, le célèbre historien américain, et Julie Hessler, nous offrent ici une histoire européenne vue d’Amérique, à la fois inédite et singulière. Au fil des pages, les auteurs mettent en perspective les moments importants de l’histoire commune des pays d’Europe : la Première Guerre mondiale, les révolutions russes, la grande dépression, le nazisme, la guerre froide, la décolonisation, la chute du communisme, etc. Ouvrage de référence réédité plusieurs fois aux Etats-Unis, L’Europe au XXe siècle dresse, cartes à l’appui, un panorama riche et détaillé des bouleversements démographiques, sociaux, économiques et politiques du siècle dernier, et se révèle une clé indispensable pour la compréhension du monde.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce livre se veut un bilan des travaux d'un réseau international de cent quatre-vingts chercheurs qui ont participé à un programme de recherche sur le thème « Identités et conscience européennes au XXe siècle ». Dix chapitres s'interrogent sur l'étonnant paradoxe de la fin du XXe siècle, entre l'accélération de la construction de l'Europe, considérée par tous comme irréversible, et la faiblesse relative du sentiment européen, le « déficit d'imaginaire » qui l'accompagne. Ils s'attachent à cerner les rapports divers, ambivalents, parfois convergents entre identité européenne et identités nationales, entre identité européenne et identité « occidentale ». En abordant les milieux (cercles économiques, élites, intellectuels...) et leurs mécanismes identitaires, de même que les vecteurs de l'identité (mémoire, phénomènes religieux, institutions...), les auteurs montrent combien la construction de l'Europe s'insère dans des équilibres identitaires qu'elle contribue aussi à créer.

Book excerpt: The period between 1917 and 1957, starting with the birth of the USSR and the American intervention in the First World War and ending with the Treaty of Rome, is of the utmost importance for contextualizing and understanding the intellectual origins of the European Community. During this time of 'crisis,' many contemporaries, especially intellectuals, felt they faced a momentous decision which could bring about a radically different future. The understanding of what Europe was and what it should be was questioned in a profound way, forcing Europeans to react. The idea of a specifically European unity finally became, at least for some, a feasible project, not only to avoid another war but to avoid the destruction of the idea of European unity. This volume reassesses the relationship between ideas of Europe and the European project and reconsiders the impact of long and short-term political transformations on assumptions about the continent's scope, nature, role and significance.

Download or read book History of the Council of Europe written by Birte Wassenberg and published by Council of Europe. This book was released on 2013-10-15 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Council of Europe, the oldest European organisation, was founded in 1949 with the aim of unifying the continent as a whole. The decision to establish its headquarters in Strasbourg was, moreover, symbolic of the desire for reconciliation between peoples. From the outset the Council of Europe adopted an institutional structure comprising a committee of ministers and a parliamentary assembly - the first in Europe. This book retraces the history of the Organisation. Consisting initially of Western European states, the Council of Europe was destined to embrace all the continent's countries, but the Cold War delayed its enlargement. It is only since 1989 that the Council of Europe has become a truly pan-European organisation, now comprising 47 member states. Its mission is based on three major goals: protecting human rights, promoting democratic values and guaranteeing the rule of law. The Council of Europe is also very active in fostering co-operation in all areas of life: education, sport, culture, etc. Starting in 1959, the European Court of Human Rights grew to become the Organisation's flagship institution: its judgments are binding on the member states. As an intergovernmental organisation, the Council of Europe has had to contend with the growth of the European Union and has sought constantly to redefine its role in international relations. In these early years of the 21st century, will it succeed in securing a key position in the European institutional architecture?

Download or read book A Social History of Europe, 1945-2000 written by Hartmut Kaelble and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2013 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1945 Europe has experienced many periods of turmoil and conflict and as many moments of peace and integration: from the devastation felt in the aftermath of World War II to the recovery in the 1950s and 1960s; to the new challenges in the 1970s and 1980s when neoliberal policies led to fundamental social and economic changes, marked by the effects of the oil shock and widespread unemployment; and then 1989 and after when the existing world order experienced new convulsions. In this brilliant and comprehensive work, the author, one of the best known social historians of Europe, discusses a wide range of subjects, not shying away from controversial topics: family structure, work, consumption, values, migration, inequality, elites, civil society, social movements, media, welfare state, education, and urban policies. He focuses on the fundamental changes European societies underwent in the second half of the twentieth century but also explores what divides Europeans, what unites them, and what sets them apart from the rest of the world. This major historical work will be an important and highly sought-after addition for library collections as well as an important volume for course adoptions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Historical Geography of Europe provides an analytical and explanatory account of European historical geography from classical times to the modern period, including the vast changes to landscape, settlements, population, and in political and cultural structures and character that have taken place since 1500. The text takes account of the volume of relevant research and literature that has been published over the past two or three decades, in order to achieve a coverage and synthesis of this very broad range of evidence and opinion, and has tried to engage with many of the main themes and debates to give a clear indication of changing ideas and interpretations of the subject.

Download or read book Building a European Identity written by Aurélie Élisa Gfeller and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2012-07-20 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Arab-Israeli war of 1973, the first oil price shock, and France's transition from Gaullist to centrist rule in 1974 coincided with the United States' attempt to redefine transatlantic relations. As the author argues, this was an important moment in which the French political elite responded with an unprecedented effort to construct an internationally influential and internally cohesive European entity. Based on extensive multi-archival research, this study combines analysis of French policy making with an inquiry into the evolution of political language, highlighting the significance of the new concept of a political European identity.

This book was released on 2005-12-05 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the main features of the world economy since the late nineteenth century has been the growing dominance of the American economy in both quantitative and qualitative terms. Aspects of this development - e.g. rationalization or the world-wide diffusion of Coca-Cola - have been researched, but largely in isolation. Americanization of the European Economy provides a comprehensive yet compact survey of the growth of American economic influence in Europe since the 1880s. Three distinct but cumulative waves of Americanization are identified. Americanization was (and still is) a complex process of technological, political, and cultural transfer, and this overview explains why and how the USA and the American model of industrial capitalism came to be accepted as the dominant paradigm of political economy in today's Europe. Americanization of the European Economy summarizes the ongoing discussion by business historians, sociologists, and political scientists and makes it accessible to all types of readers who are interested in political and economic development.

Download or read book Cultures nationales et identité communautaire written by Marloes Beers and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2010 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La question de l'identité européenne a souvent été soulevée par les historiens sous l'angle de la civilisation et de l'héritage historique et culturel commun. Mais l'identité européenne n'a que rarement été abordée à travers une grille de lecture liée à l'émergence d'un espace public européen et d'une expérience de vivre ensemble. Cet ouvrage se propose donc de croiser les compétences multiples de jeunes chercheurs européens, afin d'identifier les vecteurs porteurs d'une identité européenne et de mesurer leur réalité ou leurs insuffisances. Ce faisant, il propose des pistes de développement pour cette identité européenne encore en gestation, afin d'en déterminer les enjeux pour l'Europe. À la fois objectif et handicap dans l'histoire des communautés européennes, la question identitaire semble être un enjeu majeur pour aujourd'hui comme pour demain. The issue of a common European identity has been the subject of academic research from diverse perspectives. This book approaches the theme of European identity through the interpretive lens of both European public space and the experience of living together. Young scholars in the field of European studies identify instruments for the development of a European identity and analyse their characteristics and shortcomings. These proceedings offer a spectrum of perspectives on the development of a European identity.
