• New books March 2023

Highlights:

• The EU political system after the 2019 European elections

”This book assesses the impact of the May 2019 European elections as well as the Covid-19 pandemic on the EU’s politics, institutions, and policies. Special attention is paid to the impact of these events on the different political forces.”

• The external dimension of the European Union's critical infrastructure protection programme : from neighbouring frameworks to transatlantic cooperation

”The challenges at the EU level are multidimension insofar as identifying, designating and protecting critical infrastructures with the ultimate goal of harmonizing different national policies of the Member States and creating the identity of the European Union in this arena.”

• China and the West

”This volume presents thirteen chapters prepared by senior researchers and former policy makers on key policy issues confronting China and the West. They focus on the role of the state in economic development, trade issues and the part played by innovation, digitalization and leadership.”

• Command : the politics of military operations from Korea to Ukraine

”Throughout history, the concept of command -- as both a way to achieve objectives and as an assertion of authority -- has been essential to military action and leadership. But, as Sir Lawrence Freedman shows, it is also deeply political.”

• European lobbying : an occupational field between professionalism and activism

”Lobbying is an integral part of the political reality of the European Union and a highly competitive and dynamic field of interest groups. This book takes a systematic look at lobbyists in order to broaden our understanding of the staff entrusted with the responsibility of influencing European politics.”

• Monde d'hier, monde de demain : un voyage à travers l'empire des Habsbourg et l'Union européenne

”Ensemble multilingue et multinational entouré de puissances rivales ou ennemies, l’empire austro-hongrois ressemblait à l’Union européenne. En quoi celle-ci mérite-t-elle l’appellation d’empire ? Et quels facteurs pourraient la faire éclater ?”
