Long-term social and demographic changes - and the conflicts they create - continue to transform British politics. In this accessible and authoritative book, Sobolewska and Ford show how deep the roots of this polarization and volatility run, drawing out decades of educational expansion and rising ethnic diversity as key drivers in the emergence of new divides within the British electorate over immigration, identity, and diversity.  

At the end of the 20th century, many believed the story of European political development had come to an end. Modern democracy began in Europe, but for hundreds of years it competed with various forms of dictatorship. Now, though, the entire continent was in the democratic camp for the first time in history. But within a decade, this story had already begun to unravel. Some of the continent's newer democracies slid back towards dictatorship, while citizens in many of its older democracies began questioning democracy's functioning and even its legitimacy. 

How Britain Ends is a book about history, but also about the strange, complicated identity of Britishness. In the past, it was possible to live with delightful confusion: one could be English, or British, Scottish or Irish and a citizen/subject of the United Kingdom (or Great Britain). For years that state has been what Gavin Esler calls a 'secret federation', but without the explicit federal arrangements that allow Germany or the USA to survive. Now the archaic state, which doesn't have a written constitution, is coming under terrible strain. 

Alternativlosigkeit nach der Wende? Davon will die größtenteils in der ehemaligen DDR aufgewachsene Wirtschaftswissenschaftlerin Christa Luft nichts wissen - stattdessen versucht sie, Fakten zu schaffen und mit Legenden aufzuräumen. Luft fordert die Erneuerung der Gesellschaft, was Demokratie und Gleichheit stärke. In ihren Argumentationen bezieht sie sich auf Krisen und Reformen der Wirtschaft, Sozialsysteme und die EU-Osterweiterung.

On en était où ? Ah oui. On fonçait vers le gouffre, à vitesse accélérée. La calotte glaciaire fondait, les ours polaires se noyaient, le Mont-Blanc reculait, les oiseaux ne se cachaient même plus pour mourir.

From the acclaimed military historian, a new history of the outbreak of World War I: the dramatic stretch from the breakdown of diplomacy to the battles—the Marne, Ypres, Tannenberg—that marked the frenzied first year before the war bogged down in the trenches. In Catastrophe 1914, Max...

When Özlem Cekic became the first Muslim MP in the Danish Parliament, her email inbox was inundated with hate mail and threats, and her gut reaction was to delete and ignore each abusive message. But eventually, she decided to take a risk. She started replying to each message and inviting the senders to meet and engage in dialogue over coffee. And with time, understanding, and patience, she began to make a difference, both in the lives of those who hated her before even meeting her, and in her own life.

Bei dem vorliegenden Hörbuch handelt es sich um die Aufnahme einer Lesung von gesammelten Texten, die vor ca. 20 Jahren entstanden sind und nun der Öffentlichkeit erneut unbearbeitet präsentiert werden. Bereits die Erstfassung des Buches, die nach jahrelangem Rechtsstreit mit Suhrkamp erst 2006 verlegt wurde, war sehr schnell vergriffen. Suhrkamp, obschon seit 1999 zur Verbreitung vertraglich verpflichtet, zog es vor, sich darauf zu konzentrieren, dieses Werk der deutschen Öffentlichkeit vorzuenthalten.

Kein anderes Thema hat die europäische Politik in den letzten Jahren so beeinflusst wie die Debatte um Geflüchtete, Asyl und Migration. Dabei wird die Diskussion dominiert von Schlagworten, falschen Tatsachenbehauptungen und Scheinlösungen. Gerald Knaus erklärt in seinem Buch, worum es tatsächlich geht, und zeigt, dass humane Grenzen möglich sind. Der Migrationsexperte, dessen Analysen Regierungen in ganz Europa beeinflusst haben, erläutert, welche Grundsatzprobleme wir dafür lösen müssten und wie aus abstrakten Prinzipien mehrheitsfähige umsetzbare Politik werden kann.

The last general election saw the Conservatives win their highest vote share in 40 years, while Labour slumped to their lowest seat total since 1935. At the heart of this electoral earthquake was the so-called Red Wall, some 60 seats stretching from the Midlands up to the North of England. Working-class voters in these old coal, steel and manufacturing constituencies had been the bedrock of past Labour victories, but all that changed on 12th December 2019 when Boris Johnson turned the Red Wall blue. 

From the peak of Jeremy Corbyn's popularity and the shock hung parliament of 2017 to Labour's humbling in 2019 and the election of Keir Starmer, Left Out draws on unrivalled access throughout the party and to both leaders' inner circles to provide a blistering narrative exposé of the Labour Party during one of the most tumultuous and significant episodes in its history. It reveals a party riven by factionalism and at war over ideology, then incapacitated by crisis and indecision. 

Paradigma del Romanticismo español más auténtico, Larra fue un agudísimo observador de la realidad que lerodeaba. Sus artículos de costumbres son ventanas abiertas a la España del siglo xix; sus comentarios políticos, dardosenvenenados contra unas estructuras anquilosadas; sus textos de crítica literaria, acertados análisis repletos depropuestas e ideas para mejorar el panorama de las letras españolas y desligarse de la por entonces omnipresenteinfluencia de la literatura francesa.

La manipulación de masas es un fenómeno que el poder político ha utilizado a lo largo de la historia. Nuestros tiempos no iban a ser una excepción, y la televisión, unida al fenómeno de las redes sociales y las masas de acoso, han conformado un tridente mortífero contra la verdad. Mientras el ojo de la población estaba inmerso en la pandemia del Covid-19, hemos asistido al mayor espectáculo de manipulación de masas del último siglo en nuestro país, en el que se ha privado al ciudadano de una información que podría haber evitado el desastre.

Two opposing narratives vie to explain the strategic future of Europe, one geopolitical and one economic, and both center on the same resource: natural gas. In The Bridge, Thane Gustafson, an expert on Russian oil and gas, argues that the political rivalries that capture the lion's share of media attention must be viewed alongside multiple business interests and differences in economic ideologies. With a dense network of pipelines linking Europe and Russia, natural gas serves as a bridge that unites the region through common interests.

Brought to you by Penguin. In the years just before and after the fall of the Berlin Wall, conservative politicians and intellectuals across Europe and America celebrated a great achievement, felt a common purpose and, very often, forged personal friendships. The euphoria quickly evaporated, the...

For 60 years, the United States has supported European integration on a bipartisan basis - not only because this has served European interests, but because it has promoted American interests as well. As core partners in transatlantic efforts to address regional and global economic, political and security challenges, the US and the EU have collaborated critically over the years to make the world a less turbulent place. That is, until the 2016 election of Donald J. Trump.

...And What Do You Do? is a hard-hitting analysis of the royal family, exposing its extravagant use of public money and the highly dubious behaviour of some among its ranks, whilst being critical of the knee-jerk sycophancy shown by the press and politicians. Baker also considers the wider role the royals play in society, including the link with House of Lords reform, and the constitutional position of the monarch, which is important given Prince Charles’ present and intended approach.
