A Community of Europeans?
In A Community of Europeans? a thoughtful observer of the
ongoing project of European integration evaluates the state of the
art about European identity and European public spheres. Thomas
Risse argues that integration has had profound and long-term
effects on the citizens of EU countries, most of whom now have at
least a secondary \"European identity\" to complement their national
identities. Risse also claims that we can see the gradual emergence
of transnational European communities of communication. Exploring
the outlines of this European identity and of the communicative
spaces, Risse sheds light on some pressing questions: What do
\"Europe\" and \"the EU\" mean in the various public debates? How do
European identities and transnational public spheres affect
policymaking in the EU? And how do they matter in discussions about
enlargement, particularly Turkish accession to the EU? What will be
the consequences of the growing contestation and politicization of
European affairs for European democracy?
This focus on identity allows Risse to address the \"democratic
deficit\" of the EU, the disparity between the level of decision
making over increasingly relevant issues for peoples' lives (at the
EU) and the level where politics plays itself out-in the member
states. He argues that the EU's democratic deficit can only be
tackled through politicization and that \"debating Europe\" might
prove the only way to defend modern and cosmopolitan Europe against
the increasingly forceful voices of Euroskepticism.

Managing Ethnic Diversity after 9/11
America's approach to terrorism has focused on traditional national security methods, under the assumption that terrorism's roots are foreign and the solution to greater security lies in conventional practices. Europe offers a different model, with its response to internal terrorism relying on police procedures.Managing Ethnic Diversity after 9/11compares these two strategies and considers that both may have engendered greater radicalization--and a greater chance of home-grown terrorism. Essays address how transatlantic countries, including the United Kingdom, the United States, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, and the Netherlands have integrated ethnic minorities, especially Arabs and Muslims, since 9/11. Discussing the \"securitization of integration,\" contributors argue that the neglect of civil integration has challenged the rights of these minorities and has made greater security more remote.

From East to West: Evaluating the Effects of the Russian-Ukrainian Confl ict and Russian Migration on the Tourism Industry in Georgia and the Path toward European Integration
Located at the intersection of Asia and Europe, Georgia’s tourism industry encounters unique challenges amidst regional geopolitical tensions, notably the ongoing Russian-Ukrainian confl ict and the subsequent Russian migration. This article employs both qualitative and quantitative research methods to explore the impacts of these political realities on Georgia’s tourism sector and advocates for a strategic reorientation towards European integration as a means of promoting sustainable development. Drawing insights from qualitative interviews with key stakeholders and quantitative surveys with international tourists, the study unfolds the complex relationship between politics and tourism. Despite the predominantly negative perception of the infl ux of refugees, concerns about rising prices, perceived changes in service quality, and the expanding presence of Russian-owned businesses, the resilience and appeal of Georgia’s tourism realm remain evident. Specifi cally, all respondents recommended Georgia as a tourist destination and reported feeling safe during their stay. The study also presents a comparative perspective, evaluating the potential effects of further European integration on Georgia’s tourism landscape, and underscores key mitigation strategies, including policy development, diversifi cation of tourism offerings, strategic communication, digital platform advancement and utilization, and in general, the adoption of European best practices in sustainable tourism. These findings emphasize the need for nuanced, proactive, and inclusive policymaking and industry regulation in line with Georgia’s European aspirations. This comprehensive exploration provides invaluable insights for stakeholders in the tourism sphere and contributes to the broader understanding of the intricate relationship between geopolitical realities and tourism.

The Financialisation of the Citizen
This book discusses the role of private law as an instrument to produce financial and social inclusion in a context characterised by the redefinition of the role of the State and by the financialisation of society. By depicting the political and economic developments behind the popular idea of financial inclusion, the book deconstructs that notion, illustrating the existence and interaction of different discourses surrounding it. The book further traces the evolution of inclusion, specifically in the European context, and thus moves on to analyse the legal rules which are most relevant for the purposes of bringing about the financialisation of the citizen. Hence, the author focuses more on four highly topical areas: access to a bank account, access to credit, overindebtedness, and financial education. Adopting a critical and inter-disciplinary approach, The Financialisation of the Citizen takes the reader through a top-down journey starting from the political economy of financialisation, to the law and policy of the European Union, and finally to more specific private law rules.
