Details

This insightful book considers how we might conceptualize European ways of life. It critically examines the political, legal, and social implications of European values in the face of challenges such as climate change, war, and global insecurity.

Luigi Corrias and Ronald Tinnevelt bring together distinguished scholars from diverse academic backgrounds to analyse pressing issues such as the fate of European cooperation, the rule of law, and sustainability. The book identifies ways in which European law and politics interact within the process of integration, discussing the persecution and abandonment of refugees as well as the fight against illiberal democracies. It outlines European histories of colonialism and imperialism, delving into the role of the European intellectual in the age of technical reason. The book also explores how familial structures and the notion of security can be attributed to the formulation of European ideals.

Designed for students and academics in European law and politics, the book provides unique insights and novel frameworks for understanding the complex dynamics of the EU. It is also beneficial to policymakers and practising lawyers.
