Book Synopsis New Donors on the Postcolonial Crossroads by : Profant, Tomáš
Download or read book New Donors on the Postcolonial Crossroads written by Profant, Tomáš and published by kassel university press GmbH. This book was released on 2020-01-20 with total page 5 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Eastern European countries were said to be playing catch up with the West, and in the field of development cooperation, they were classified as ‘new donors.’ This book aims to problematize this distinction between old and new development donors, applying an East–West dimension to global Orientalism discourse. The book uses a novel double postcolonial perspective, examining North – South relations and East–West relations simultaneously, and problematizing these distinctions. In particular, the book deploys an empirical analysis of a ‘new’ Eastern European donor (Slovakia), compared with an ‘old’ donor (Austria), in order to explore questions around hierarchization, depoliticization and the legitimization of development. This book’s innovative approach to the East–West dimension of global Orientalism will be of interest to researchers in postcolonial studies, Eastern European studies, and critical development studies.

Book Synopsis Europe at the Crossroads by : Pieter Bevelander
Download or read book Europe at the Crossroads written by Pieter Bevelander and published by Nordic Academic Press. This book was released on 2019-05-23 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The extreme right wing is on the rise. And there are signs that part of the political mainstream in Europe, the US, and beyond is considering going along with far-right populist parties and their divisive, ethno-nationalist programmes. Europe at the Crossroads is an urgent scholarly response to the sociopolitical challenges that far-right programmes pose to the idea of a more egalitarian world. It offers an interdisciplinary explanation and critique of the dynamics of the far right in Europe – from Poland to the UK, from Sweden to Greece. The authors present immediate alternatives when tackling the exclusionary rhetoric and the politics of resentment. In formulating alternatives for a ‘social Europe’, each contributor critically assesses the current advance of far- right populism and the threat to liberal democracy since the global financial crisis of 2008 and the European refugee movement of 2015. Each chapter addresses the historical roots and normalization of the extreme right, whether Orbanism in Central and Eastern Europe since 2014, the Brexit campaign and referendum in the UK in 2016. As the slogan ‘Fortress Europe’ – once a pejorative term – now appeals to large numbers of voters, the authors also analyse the flash points in the run-up to the European Parliament elections in May 2019.

Book Synopsis Crossing Borders by : Heather A. Conley
Download or read book Crossing Borders written by Heather A. Conley and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2018-09-15 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, Europe has seen its largest influx of migrants and refugees in decades, with 1.9 million arrivals to the continent between 2014 and 2017. Peak arrivals in 2015, and sustained flows since then, have found the European Union and its 28 member states unable to face what has been called the “European migration crisis.” Part of their response has focused on cooperation with third countries of transit or origin, by leveraging development, humanitarian, and foreign policy tools to try and reduce migrant flows to Europe, including through many funding and budgetary decisions. This report attempts to quantify, through budgetary analysis, what shifts occurred in the external dimension of Europe’s migration policy following the crisis, and in three member states (Germany, Sweden, and the Netherlands). These short-term shifts, representing policy priorities, carry long-term consequences for the European Union’s role as a foreign policy and soft power actor.

Book Synopsis Democracy, Federalism, the European Revolution, and Global Governance by : Andrea Bosco
Download or read book Democracy, Federalism, the European Revolution, and Global Governance written by Andrea Bosco and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2020-06-10 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European Union is facing today the greatest crisis since its creation. Brexit could mean not only the reversal of its steady enlargement—from 6 to 28 member states—but also the beginning of an inexorable decline leading to its disintegration. However, few today seem to recollect that it was precisely the British who were the first to promulgate the political culture which inspired the European Union’s construction—democracy and federalism—and the first who tried to realise, in June 1940, a European federation on the basis of an Anglo-French union. This volume traces the fundamental stages of the European unification process, placing it in relation to the wider process of world economic and political integration. In particular, it analyses the historical significance of the European Revolution, which is identified in the overcoming of the nation state—namely the modern political formula which institutionalised the political division of mankind—and the birth of the first truly international state. The universal historical significance of the European Revolution lies in its exportability—as for the other great European revolutions—and, therefore, its potential as progressively extensible to all the states of the planet. Europe was indeed the first region of the world where the barriers between national states fell, and a post-national political identity emerged, complementary to national political identities. It is, in fact, in the context of the European Union that democracy beyond the borders of the nation state has first been realized, constituting a guiding principle for global governance.
Download or read book European Futures written by Chad Damro and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-03-31 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume explores the opportunities and challenges facing the European Union in the future from different disciplines and assesses the EU’s prospects across various policy areas. Using the European Commission’s 2017 White Paper presenting five different scenarios for the future of Europe to 2050 as an organising framework for analysis and debate, the volume reflects upon the drivers of the EU’s future, including its changing place in an evolving world, a transformed economy and society, heightened threats and concerns about security and borders, and questions of trust and legitimacy. The concluding chapter summarises and compares the findings to determine which of the scenarios is the most instructive to understand and plan European Futures to 2050, and beyond. This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of European integration, EU politics/studies, and more broadly international relations, as well as European policy-makers.

Book Synopsis NATO and European Security by : Alexander Moens
Download or read book NATO and European Security written by Alexander Moens and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2003-03-30 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the end of the Cold War to the terrorist attacks on the United States in September 2001, the NATO Alliance has changed profoundly. This book explores the multifaceted consequences of NATO's adjustment to new international and domestic political and security realities. Internal Alliance politics and matters of relative power within the membership have strongly influenced recent NATO developments. Several major issues challenging the Alliance are examined, including how the impact of efforts to develop an enhanced common European security and defense policy have affected NATO: whether missile defense is driving the United States and its European allies closer or further apart; how the experience of NATO in the Balkans and elsewhere brought alliance members together or made MATO cohesion more difficult to maintain; and in what way the changing role of NATO has influenced American and Canadian participation in the Alliance. An important guidepost to pivotal changes and likely NATO developments, scholars and policymakers of Atlantic and international politics will find these meditations indispensable. A number of authors also speculate on the likely changes for the alliance that will ensue in the wake of the September 11 terrorist attacks, and the possibility that NATO will soon modify its mission and responsibilities in reaction to the threat of international terrorism. Indeed many of the same strategies and strains that affected NATO cohesion over the past decade are likely to complicate efforts to maintain Alliance unity as part of the anti-terrorist coalition.

Book excerpt: "European Union policies are contributing to a cycle of extreme abuse against migrants and asylum seekers in Libya. Through their support, the EU, Italy and other member states are enabling the Libyan Coast Guard ... to intercept boats leaving Libya knowing all migrants and asylum seekers are then detained in arbitrary, indefinite, and abusive detention. [This report] is based on visits to four Libyan migrant detention centers where Human Rights Watch spoke with over 100 detained migrants and asylum seekers and documented severe overcrowding, unsanitary conditions, malnutrition, lack of adequate healthcare as well as violent abuse by guards including beatings, whippings, and other violence. The EU and member states’ efforts to alleviate the suffering of migrants have had negligible impact on the ground."--Page 4 of cover.
