English | 2014 | ISBN: 1138815640 | EPUB | pages: 160 | 1.1 mb
How has the economic and financial crisis that started in 2007 affected European integration? Observers have been speculating about whether the crisis will ultimately lead to a strengthening or weakening of the European Union. This book studies the effects of the crisis on EU policy-making and institutional arrangements on one hand, and citizens’ EU attitudes and political parties’ electoral strategies on the other. It concludes that, at least in the short run, the crisis has overall created an opportunity for European integration rather than an obstacle. First, it has triggered events of proposed and actual far-reaching policy and institutional change. Second, negative effects on public opinion have not (yet) systematically translated into tendencies of stagnation or disintegration. The book brings together established scholars of European integration whose diverse research expertise contributes to an improved theoretical and empirical understanding of how the economic and financial crisis has affected EU policies, institutions and citizens.

Are established economic, social and political practices capable of dealing with the combined crises of climate change and the global economic system? Will falling back on the wisdoms that contributed to the crisis help us to find ways forward or simply reconfigure risk in another guise? This volume argues that the combination of global environmental change and global economic restructuring require a re-thinking of the priorities, processes and underlying values that shape contemporary development aspirations and policy.

Free Download Marxism and Earth’s Habitability Crisis: From the Metabolic Rift to the Anthropocene
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031725360 | 231 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 1.4 MB
This book argues that as long as capitalism is globally dominant, there must be a crisis of habitability on Earth. Overcoming this crisis is not a matter of technology. Technological strategies need to be adopted to mitigate human impact on Earth, but as long as they are implemented on a capitalist basis the crisis will not be overcome. Unfortunately, this is not fully understood today, and initiatives to confront the crisis based on idealism and positivism flourish everywhere. This makes research into the main epistemological reasons for the misunderstanding of the relationship between the reproduction of capital and the crisis of habitability an urgent task, which is undertaken throughout the book. Such misunderstanding is ultimately related to the old problem of philosophy, the relationship between thought and being. A problem that the crisis of habitability expresses as the insurmountable contradiction between capitalist humans and nature.
