• New books May 2022

Highlights:

• The European Council in the era of crisis

”Against the background of the broad sweep of the history of the European Council, Jan Werts focuses especially on the sequence of crises that began around the time of his previous book − the Greek debt and broader euro crises, the migration and refugee crisis, Brexit and Covid among them.”

• The Routledge handbook of differentiation in the European Union

”Is Europe moving away from an "ever closer Union" and heading towards an "ever more differentiated Union", especially as leading political figures across Europe favour the use of differentiation to reconcile divergences between member states?”

• Not one inch : America, Russia, and the making of post-Cold War stalemate

”M.E. Sarotte pulls back the curtain on the crucial decade between the fall of the Berlin Wall and the rise of Vladimir Putin, when Americans and Russians—in conflict over NATO expansion and Europe's future—sowed the seeds of the tensions that shape today's world.”

• Weak strongman : the limits of power in Putin's Russia

”Frye brings a new understanding to a host of crucial questions: How popular is Putin? Is Russian propaganda effective? Why are relations with the West so fraught? Can Russian cyber warriors really swing foreign elections?”

• Politique internationale de la Chine : entre intégration et volonté de puissance

”La 3e édition, mise à jour et enrichie, d'un ouvrage complet et d'une grande acuité sur la Chine d'aujourd’hui, qui permettra au lecteur de mieux comprendre les aspirations, les atouts et les fragilités d’un pays qui ambitionne de devenir la première puissance du monde.”

• European labor markets and the COVID-19 pandemic : fallout and the path ahead

”In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic caused by far the largest shock to European economies since World War II. Yet, astonishingly, the EU unemployment rate had already declined to its pre-crisis level by 2021 Q3, and in some countries the labor force participation rate is at a record high.”
