Humanities & Social SciencesOctober 2023Towards a just Europe
A theory of distributive justice for the European Union
by João Labareda
This highly original book constitutes one of the first attempts to examine the problem of distributive justice in the European Union in a systematic manner. João Labareda argues that the set of shared political institutions at EU level, including the European Parliament and the Court of Justice of the EU, generate democratic duties of redistribution among EU citizens. Furthermore, the economic structure of the EU, comprising a common market, a common currency and a free-movement area, triggers duties of reciprocity among member states. The responsibilities to fulfil these duties, Labareda argues, should be shared by the local, national and supranational levels of government. Not only should the EU act as a safety net to the national welfare systems, applying the principle of subsidiarity, but common market and Eurozone regulations should balance their efficiency targets with fair cooperation terms. The concrete policy proposals presented in this book include a threshold of basic goods for all EU citizens, an EU labour code, a minimum EU corporate tax rate and an EU fund for competitiveness. Labarada argues that his proposals match the political culture of the member states, are economically feasible, can be translated into functioning institutions and policies and are consistent with the limited degree of social solidarity in Europe. This book is a major contribution to the understanding of what a just Europe would look like and what it might take to get us there. This book is relevant to United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 10, Reduced inequalities

July 2012Hobalala
Auf der Suche nach João Gilberto
by Marc Fischer
»Girl from Ipanema«, »Chega de Saudade«, »Desafinado« – diese Klassiker der Bossa nova sind täglich in den Cafés, Clubs und Radios dieser Welt zu hören. Sie sind berühmt, weil sie so sind, wie Musik sein sollte: ewig gültig und trotzdem immer wieder neu. Erfunden wurde ihr einzigartiger leiser Klang von einem Mann, dessen Gitarre und Gesang alle kennen, mit dem aber kaum jemand geredet hat, weil er sich seit dreißig Jahren in einem Apartment in Rio de Janeiro versteckt: João Gilberto. In »Hobalala« macht sich Marc Fischer auf die Suche nach der letzten großen Musiklegende unserer Zeit. Er trifft Freunde, Frauen, Weggefährten, um herauszufinden, wie das Herz der Bossa nova im Innersten tickt und was Lohn und Preis der Kunst sind. Eine literarische Detektivgeschichte über den großen, geheimnisvollen Mr. João Gilberto.

December 2017Wer vertritt das Volk?
Reden über unser Land
by Norbert Lammert
Zwölf Jahre war Norbert Lammert zweiter Mann im Staat, Bundestagspräsident und bester Redner im Hohen Haus. Seine Worte verschafften ihm Respekt über alle politischen Lager hinweg und verliehen ihm höchstes Ansehen, nicht nur in Deutschland. Dieser Band versammelt seine bedeutendsten Reden und ist Weckruf und Appell in schwierigen Zeiten. Seit 1980 gehörte Norbert Lammert dem Deutschen Bundestag an. Die großen parlamentarischen Auseinandersetzungen der jüngeren Geschichte prägten ihn – Nato-Doppelbeschluss, Beitritt der DDR zum Geltungsbereich des Grundgesetzes, Irak-Konflikt –, sie überzeugten ihn von der Lebensnotwendigkeit der Debatte. Eine Überzeugung, die er in seinen Jahren als Bundestagspräsident wie kein zweiter verkörperte. Als Vorsitzender empfing er Gäste, Papst Benedikt XVI, Schimon Peres, Navid Kermani, Wolf Biermann. Und als Redner mahnte er unmissverständlich an, sich auseinanderzusetzen. Mit der Demokratie, mit deutscher Erinnerung, Europa und der Migration.

Humanities & Social SciencesNovember 2024Beyond nationalism
Acting and thinking for the common good in the European Union
by João Labareda
This book discusses the meaning of the common good in a European Union thorned by nationalist tendencies and presents concrete policies to improve its achievement. It analyses the normative relevance of EU values as a shared moral standpoint that allows highly diverse member states to label a given collective choice as 'good' or 'bad'. It discusses the role of EU institutions as both guardians and enablers of EU values in a globalised world and introduces a few proposals for institutional reform at the EU level that could strengthen this role. It also presents six strategies to improve civic friendship in the EU, in the absence of which any institutional efforts to promote the common good may be undermined by the citizens' lack of willingness to share its burdens.

The Power of Knowledge
The Israeli Science Corps
by Uriel Bachrach
Uriel Bachrach was born in Germany in 1926 and immigrated to Palestine in 1933. In 1945 he began studying chemistry at The Hebrew University in Jerusalem. At the end of 1947, future Israeli prime minister David Ben-Gurion realized that once British forces left Palestine in May 1948, seven Arab countries would attack the newly formed Jewish state that at that time was home to only 600,000 people—including women, children, and the elderly, many of them Holocaust survivors. The State had only 10,000 rifles and 3,800 pistols, no anti-tank weapons, and no artillery. Weapons could not be purchased from other countries due to an embargo, so Ben-Gurion decided to produce weapons locally. On February 2, 1948, Bachrach was summoned to a secret meeting where he and twenty chemistry and physics students were told to save the nation. For three weeks they studied the secrets of explosives, incendiaries, gas, and smoke. Gradually more young scientists joined the group and on March 17, 1948, an IDF Science Corps named HEMED was formed. In 1949, Bachrach returned to The Hebrew University and became the chairman of the Department of Molecular Biology. He has been a visiting professor at various American and European universities and was awarded an honorary doctorate by the University of Bologna in Italy. The Hebrew version of this book was published in 2009 and the author received a special prize for the State of Israel from President Shimon Peres. Uriel Bachrach continues to lecture in various forums about this unique chapter in Israel's history. An English-language eBook edition was published in early 2016 by Samuel Wachtman's Sons, Inc., CA. 256 pages, 15X22.5 cm
