New books added to the Library collection - January 2019

The list highlights books added to the Council Library collections in January. Among the titles you will find:

Twenty-first century leadership for EU institutions

What does today's organisational reality look like? What kind of leadership do we need in the knowledge age? Not only does the book give insights into the civil servant-leadership philosophy, but it also offers real-life interviews with twelve EU civil servants, including Herman van Rompuy, former President of the European Council.

Democracy in Europe : a political philosophy of the EU

Daniel Innerarity, part-time Professor at the School of Transnational Governance at the University of Florence, writes: "It is the time for reflections and choices. The debate about “more or less Europe” disguises what should be the true objective: another Europe, the possibility of thinking it and configuring it in another way. What is in question is not the depth of the integration but the quality of European democracy."

Trust in the European Union in challenging times

Researchers reflect on questions related to the trust in the EU, such as: Is migration threatening social trust in Europe? ; What is the importance of trust in a digital Europe;  Trust in the euro and the EU’s Banking Union after the financial crisis.
