This book opens the often narrow discourse on the future of Europe and criticises the false dichotomy between nationalism on the one hand and a neoliberal version of Europe on the other. Existing emancipatory projects from across the continent are presented together with reflections on strategies to achieve a democratic Europe beyond the nation state: from the municipal level to the level of transnational media, from technology and counter-surveillance to the systemic change provided by the commons movement and more. The shift towards a new way of thinking and doing politics is possible! With contributions by Etienne Balibar, Ulrike Guérot, Gesine Schwan, Renata Avila, Barbara Spinelli, Andreas Karitzis, Lorenzo Marsili, Jonas Staal, among others, and interviews with city governors from Madrid to Naples.
»In sum, what is particularly convincing about the theme of this publication is that it releases the reader from a dichotomous discursive straightjacket. Instead of reproducing the binary discourse of being for or against, respectively in our out of Europe, it opens up alternative spaces and pathways for more creative political practices.« Antje Scharenberg, http://blogs.lse.ac.uk, 8 (2017) »The book proves that a shift towards a new way of thinking and doing politics is not only possible, but actually already happening.« https://euroalter.com, 8 /(2017) O-Ton: »Tausend Europas« - Lukas Stolz im Interview bei engagée. O-Ton: »Mehr Solidarität, bitte!« - Daphne Büllesbach und Lukas Stolz am 27.7. im Gespräch mit Till Gentzsch auf fluter.de. »This book is essential reading for anyone not just involved with European affairs, but concerned about the state of the EU and looking for the evidence that change is possible for the better.« Tony Venables, www.ecit-foundation.eu, 6 (2017) Besprochen in: Commons Network Newsletter, 7 (2017) https://www.uni-wh.de, 31.05.2017 No library descriptions found. |
