The Europeanization of the world
From Der Spiegel, an interview with Portuguese foreign minister Jose Socrates: "The European Project is one of the grandest ideas in the world"; and perfecting a system of total control, Brussels regulates our daily lives. The first chapter from The Europeanization of the World: On the Origins of Human Rights and Democracy by John M. Headley. The introduction to The Sovereignty of Law: The European Way by Francis G. Jacobs. A review of Religion in an Expanding Europe, ed. Timothy A. Byrnes and Peter J. Katzenstein. From Cafe Babel, adverts: art or atrocity? The European advertising landscape tumbles between art and consensus — there's no end to national stereotypes, whilst "Europe" struggles in having a common "brand" image. A print and television review from across the continent.
