Highlights

• The European Council as a crisis manager : the EU's fiscal response to the COVID-19 pandemic

“Faced with the deepest economic crisis in its history, the European Union established a seminal COVID-19 recovery package relying on common debt. This book analyses the European Council’s key role as a crisis manager and transformative force of the EU system.”

• Welt im Alarmzustand : die Wiederkehr nuklearer Abschreckung

“Verschwunden war die nukleare Abschreckung nie, aber lange in den Hintergrund getreten. In einer Ära neuer Großmachtkonflikte – wie aktuell im Krieg Russlands gegen die Ukraine – gewinnt sie wieder an Bedeutung.“

• The law against war : the prohibition on the use of force in contemporary international law

“The updated edition looks at new precedents arising from the Arab Spring; the struggle against the "Islamic State" in Iraq and Syria; and the conflicts in Ukraine and Yemen. It also reflects the new doctrinal debates surrounding recent state practice.”

• The European Union and China's Belt and Road : impact, engagement and competition

“This book explores key elements of European Union engagement with the Belt Road Initiative, drawing on the expertise of leading practitioners and scholars of EU-China relations.”

• L'égalité des États membres de l'Union européenne

"L’ouvrage offre une première étude d’ensemble des aspects tant normatifs qu’institutionnels de la relation complexe d’égalité qui se noue entre les États membres de l’Union européenne et leurs citoyens."

• Contesting cosmopolitan Europe : euroscepticism, crisis and borders

“The project of European integration has undergone a succession of shocks, beginning with the Eurozone crisis, followed by reactions to the sudden growth of irregular migration, and, most recently, the coronavirus pandemic.”
