A Politeia for a different, stronger and fairer Europe. E-book. Formato EPUB Paolo Savona - Rubbettino Editore, 2018 -
Making the European Union “stronger and more equitable”. That’s the aim of this document which Paolo Savona, the European Affairs Minister, has submitted to the European authorities on behalf of the Italian Government. It contains a series of proposals to complete the European institutional architecture and to correct the policies currently followed, by promoting an intra-European dialogue in the framework of a high level working group composed by the Representatives of the Commission and the Member States in order to offer more social well-being and growth opportunities which could combine with the requests for monetary and financial stability, whose satisfaction, contrarily to the first two objectives, is endowed with good tools. All this in line with the commitments made in the Treaties that followed one another from that of Maastricht onwards. One central point of this proposal is that the governance of the European economy and society can not be entrusted to mechanical rules typical of the private governance organization that is prevalently aimed at the efficient management of resources, but to political choices which start from the changing structural and conjunctural conditions of the individual Member States and the Union inspired by a “Politeia”, that is, the ways in which the common good is organized in order to embrace the social issues with particular regard to the needs of the weakest parts of the population.
Euxit. Emergency exit for Europe. E-book. Formato EPUB Roberto Sommella - Rubbettino Editore, 2018 -
After the celebration of the 60th anniversary of the Treaties of Rome, all the issues remain unsolved in the European Union and the populist wave is ever more pressing. There are many fake-news about the EU, which Roberto Sommella, Director of External Relations of the Italian Competition Authority, founder of La Nuova Europa, columnist for Corriere della Sera and HuffPost, honorary citizen of Ventotene, home of the namesake European Manifesto, tried to unveil in his latest book, Euxit, emergency exit for Europe. In a crucial time for the EU, Sommella tries to counter the arguments of those who wish to return to national borders and currencies, starting from the effects of Brexit on British financial markets, with the aim of dismantling three clichés about migrants, the countries that profit from ECB policies and those who would like to withdraw after EU membership. Sommella hopes that the governments will call for a large conference focusing on three tasks: the drafting of a constitution Europe, the strengthening of the European Parliament powers and the reform of the EU electoral law to allow voter to choose directly the President of the Commission.
