The European Council under the Lisbon Treaty : how has the institution evolved since 2009? Suzana Anghel ; Ralf Drachenberg ; European Parliamentary Research Service European Parliament , 2019 Online access "On 1 December 2009, with the coming into force of the Treaty of Lisbon, the European Council became a formal EU institution. Ten years later, the European Council is seen by many as representing the centre of gravity of the EU's institutional framework. However, was this development purely the result of the changes to the Treaties made with Lisbon or did it happen naturally over time? This study analyses both the formal changes brought about by the Lisbon Treaty and the incremental evolution resulting from the institution's day-to-day practice, including the European Council's behaviour during the various crises of the last decade."

Research handbook on the European Union and international organizations Ramses A. Wessel editor. ; Jed Odermatt editor. ; Edward Elgar Publishing, publisher. Northampton : Edward Elgar Publishing , 2019 Online access "Over the years, the European Union has developed relationships with other international institutions, mainly as a result of its increasingly active role as a global actor and the transfer of competences from the Member States to the EU. This book presents a comprehensive and critical assessment of the EU’s engagement with other international institutions, examining both the EU’s representation and cooperation as well as the influence of these bodies on the development of EU law and policy."

L'initiative citoyenne européenne Edouard Dubout ; Francesco Martucci ; Fabrice Picod Bruxelles : Bruylant , 2019 Online access "Innovation du traité de Lisbonne, la procédure d’initiative citoyenne européenne introduit une forme de démocratie participative à l’échelle de l’Union européenne. À un moment où des revendications croissantes se font entendre en faveur du développement de ce type de mécanisme participatif, un premier bilan de cette nouvelle procédure européenne en souligne les ambiguïtés et les difficultés."

La conditionnalité environnementale dans les politiques de l'Union européenne Hubert Delzangles ; Francette Fines Bruxelles : Bruylant , 2019 Online access "L’ambition de l’ouvrage est de mesurer l’efficacité de la conditionnalité environnementale, dite encore éco-conditionnalité, prônée dans les différentes politiques européennes.

How negotiations end I. William Zartman Cambridge : Cambridge University Press , 2019 Available at Council Library Learning Resources Collection (NEG-0263) "Whilst past studies have examined when and how negotiations begin, and how wars end, this is the first full-length work to analyze the closing phase of negotiations. It identifies endgame as a definable phase in negotiation, with specific characteristics, as the parties involved sense that the end is in sight and decide whether or not they want to reach it. A number of specific cases are examined to illustrate this analysis, including Colombian negotiations with the FARC, Greece and the EU, Iran nuclear proliferation, French friendship treaties with Germany and Algeria, Chinese business negotiations, and trade negotiations in Asia."

Le banquier et le citoyen : l'Europe face aux crises financières Michael Vincent Bruxelles : Fondation Européenne d'études progressistes , 2019 Available at Council Library Main Collection (105642) "Dix ans après la crise des subprimes, alors que l’euro fête ses vingt ans, les mécanismes mis en place au niveau européen sont-ils suffisants pour faire face aux risques d’une nouvelle crise financière ? La régulation est une affaire trop sérieuse pour être laissée aux seuls banquiers, juristes et économistes et les citoyens ont, eux aussi, le droit de se forger une opinion. C’est le sens de cet essai : en démystifiant la finance, en analysant les événements financiers les plus marquants, en apportant données, témoignages et anecdotes, Michael Vincent rend visibles les dynamiques qui font tourner le carrousel infernal, afin que soient tirées toutes les leçons des dix dernières années."

La place et la tour : les réseaux contre le pouvoir Niall Ferguson Paris : Odile Jacob , 2019 Available at Council Library Main Collection (105665) "Le XXIe siècle a été qualifié d’âge des réseaux. Pourtant, Niall Ferguson le montre dans ce livre, les réseaux sociaux n’ont rien de nouveau. Qu’il s’agisse des imprimeurs et des prédicateurs qui ont fait la Réforme, ou des loges maçonniques et de leur rôle dans la révolution américaine, les réseaux – la Place – ont depuis toujours défié le monde ancien des hiérarchies – la Tour. Des Illuminati aux cercles des Lumières, de l’empire colonial britannique aux espions de la guerre froide, des récentes privatisations aux GAFA, Niall Ferguson propose une analyse radicalement nouvelle des organisations humaines."

Narrative economics : how stories go viral and drive major economic events Robert J Shiller author. Princeton : Princeton University Press , 2019 Available at Council Library Main Collection (105786) "In a world in which internet troll farms attempt to influence foreign elections, can we afford to ignore the power of viral stories to affect economies? In this groundbreaking book, Nobel Prize–winning economist and New York Times bestselling author Robert Shiller offers a new way to think about the economy and economic change. Using a rich array of historical examples and data, Shiller argues that studying popular stories that affect individual and collective economic behavior―what he calls "narrative economics"―has the potential to vastly improve our ability to predict, prepare for, and lessen the damage of financial crises, recessions, depressions, and other major economic events."

The great firewall of China : how to build and control an alternative version of the internet James Griffiths London : Zed , 2019 Available at Council Library Main Collection (105788) "China’s ‘Great Firewall’ has evolved into the most sophisticated system of online censorship in the world. Even as the Chinese internet grows and online businesses thrive, speech is controlled, dissent quashed, and any attempts to organize outside the official Communist Party are quickly stamped out. As censorship, distortion, and fake news gain traction around the world, James Griffiths takes a look inside the Great Firewall and explores just how far it has spread."
