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.

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.

An den europäischen Außengrenzen werden vielfach Menschenrechte gebrochen. Geflüchtete werden ohne Zugang zu Asylverfahren zurückgewiesen, eingesperrt, auf dem Meer ausgesetzt und misshandelt. Erik Marquardt sitzt für die Grünen im EU-Parlament und war in den letzten Jahren immer wieder auf der Balkanroute, auf Lesbos und bei der Seenotrettung auf dem Mittelmeer. In seinem Buch macht er die Diskrepanz zwischen dem europäischen Bekenntnis zu Menschenrechten und -würde und der Wirklichkeit vor Ort deutlich.

"Questo volumetto non vuol essere un saggio sull'Europa ed i suoi problemi. Vuole essere l'avvio del dialogo che ciascuno di noi quotidianamente può, e forse deve, condurre, se già non lo intrattiene, con amici, parenti, colleghi, semplici conoscenti fortemente critici sull'Europa, pronti a far propri slogan, luoghi comuni, giudizi sommari oggi di moda. Un invito a ragionare, a guardare, perlomeno con grande cautela, alla troppo diffusa "criminalizzazione" dell'Europa. Un invito a rendersi conto di quanta strada con l'Europa si è fatta anche nel modo quotidiano di vivere."

L'Unione allargata a 28 paesi rappresenta una costruzione istituzionale e politica unica, ma anche un modello ideale. Sappiamo davvero come funziona? Quali sono le azioni, i programmi e le risorse che vengono preparati e mobilitati per raggiungere una certa omogeneità di sviluppo tra i paesi membri?

Emmanuel Macron, l'uomo nuovo della politica europea, racconta per la prima volta in questo audiolibro la sua storia, le idee che lo ispirano, e la sua visione dello stato, dei cittadini, dell'Unione Europea, in un mondo che affronta sfide comuni - l'immigrazione, il lavoro, il terrorismo - che dobbiamo affrontare uniti.

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.

Als im Frühsommer 2019 ein Video veröffentlicht wird, das die geheimen Pläne führender österreichischer Rechtspopulisten entlarvt, stürzt die Regierung in Wien. Was sind die Hintergründe der größten politischen Krise der Nachkriegszeit? Das Video entsteht im Sommer 2017. Der FPÖ-Spitzenkandidat Heinz-Christian Strache und sein Parteifreund Johann Gudenus reisen nach Ibiza. In einer luxuriösen Villa tappen sie in eine Falle. Eine angeblich steinreiche Russin behauptet, gerade dabei zu sein, die Kronenzeitung zu kaufen.

The broadcaster and journalist Gavin Esler sets out how the most momentous change in Britain for decades will change everyday life. In 7 succinct chapters, he reveals the profound impact of leaving the European Union on: Food and diet, Health and the NHS, Jobs and industry, Education, Travel to Europe. From the food markets of Kent to NHS operating theatres to the boardrooms of big employers, Brexit throws up many surprises. Brexit Without the Bullshit is not about the Brexit you were told you were getting. It's about the one that is arriving.

The change in our ancestors' behaviour was barely perceptible at first. Only a few clues in the archaeological record - sea shells, ochre and stone tools exchanged over long distances - hint at what was to come. Today, a network of interdependence and trade spans the planet - lifting most of our species out of the grinding poverty of the past. But for much of history this engine of human progress stalled, with societies rigged in the interests of small parasitic elites.

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. 

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. 

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.

A deeply researched international history and "exemplary study" (New York Times Book Review) of how a divided world ended and our present world was fashioned, as the world drifts toward another great time of choosing. Two of America's leading scholar-diplomats, Philip Zelikow and Condoleezza...

A fierce, mordantly funny and perceptive book, from the author of Ship of Fools, about the act of national self-harm known as Brexit. In exploring the answers to the question 'why did Britain vote leave?', Fintan O'Toole finds himself discovering how trivial journalistic lies became far from trivial national obsessions; how the pose of indifference to truth and historical fact has come to define the style of an entire political elite; and how a country that once had colonies is redefining itself as an oppressed nation requiring liberation.

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.

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. 

From a warehouse in Manchester to a pub in Essex, from the outskirts of Glasgow to a racecourse in Durham, Jack Shenker uncovers the root causes of our current crisis and the future direction of British politics through the lives of ordinary individuals. Taking us deep into communities hollowed out by austerity and decades of economic disadvantage, among a generation crippled by precarious work and unaffordable housing, he shows where the chaos at Westminster ultimately springs from....
