Mass population displacement affected millions of Europe’s civilians across the different theatres of war in 1914–18. At the end of the war, a senior Red Cross official wrote ‘there were refugees everywhere. It was as if the entire world had to move or was waiting to move’. Europe on the move: refugees in the era of the Great War, 1912–23 is the first attempt to understand their experiences as a whole and to establish the political, social and cultural significance and ramifications of the wartime refugee crisis. Drawing on original research by leading specialists from more than a dozen countries, it will become the definitive work on the subject and will appeal to anyone who wishes to understand how governments and public opinion responded to refugees a century ago.
This collection of essays by a multinational group of authors examines the political, social and economic consequences of the most recent enlargement of the European Union. It does not confine itself to a discussion of the impact on the new member states but also considers the likely effects of this enlargement on the EU itself. These effects include not only the familiar need for new modes of governance but also involve other changes resulting from a process of what has been called mutual learning. These essays analyse various aspects of this process starting with the Constitutional Convention. Sometimes the focus is on the impact on the new members, sometimes on the changes likely to occur in the EU and its older members as a result of this enlargement. The emphasis on change is encapsulated in the book's title, 'Europe on the Move'.

Discusses the relationship between migration, especially the barring of peaceful migration, and the outbreak of war through an examination of Europe and the Soviet Union from onset of World War I to the aftermath of World War II.
Responding to substantial changes in the transport sector, between May 2017 and May 2018 the European Commission (EC) published three 'mobility packages' falling under the major political initiative Europe on the Move. While the first package focused on maintaining the competitiveness of the European transport sector in a socially fair transition towards clean energy and digitalisation, in its second batch of proposals the EC took action to reinforce the EU's global leadership in clean vehicles initiatives. The third and last mobility package under Europe on the Move aimed at ensuring a smooth transition to a mobility system that would be not only clean, connected and automated, but also safe. The European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) has carefully followed all these developments in order to give an exhaustive response from Civil Society to this far-reaching initiative. The EESC's Section for Transport, Energy, Infrastructure and the Information Society (TEN), and in particular 14 rapporteurs and co-rapporteurs, were actively involved in drafting almost 20 opinions on Europe on the Move, considering all the different aspects of the European Commission ́s proposals. The TEN Section also developed close cooperation with other EU institutions on this initiative, in particular with the European Commissioner for Mobility and Transport, Violeta Bulc, who took part in the EESC Plenary Session in September 2018 dedicated to this topic, as well as with the European Parliament's Committee on Transport and Tourism (TRAN). While the first volume of the EESC's "Europe on the Move" brochure, published in autumn 2018, covers the EESC opinions on the first and second mobility packages, this second volume presents the EESC opinions adopted in response to the EC's third mobility package. These two publications are complemented by a third brochure introducing some additional opinions and thus giving an overview of the positions and views of Civil Society on major, closely-related topics and developments, such as investments under the Connecting Europe Facility, digitalisation, decarbonisation, and gender equality, as well as on specific issues concerning individual modes of transport.
The automotive industry is a major pillar of the modern global economy and one of Europe’s key industries. There can hardly be any doubt about the important role of this sector as an engine for employment, growth and innovation in Europe, and there are crucial challenges and opportunities ahead. The authors shed light on a broad range of issues – globalisation and restructuring, trade and foreign direct investment, innovation, regulation, and industry policy – and put a special focus on the new member states. While change may be inevitable, progress is not. This book shall serve as a map to all stakeholders: business executives and policy makers, investors and scholars.
Transport and mobility are crucial for Europe's economy and competitiveness as well as for all citizens. The transport industry directly employs more than 11 million people and thus accounts for about 5% of gross domestic product in the EU. Moreover, mobility has a major impact on the daily lives of European citizens, who spend approximately 13% of their household expenditure on transport. However, the transport sector is currently undergoing a number of profound technological, economic and social transformations, which challenge its traditional features. In order to turn these challenges into opportunities and modernise mobility and transport in Europe, the European Commission has recently come up with a major political initiative entitled Europe on the Move. This wide-ranging set of proposals - divided into three "mobility packages" published between May 2017 and May 2018 - reflects the EU's aim of making rapid progress towards the establishment, by 2025, of a clean, competitive and well-connected mobility system, which integrates all means of transport, spans the entire EU and connects it both with its immediate neighbours and the wider world. The European Economic and Social Committee carefully follows all developments and with its numerous transport opinions - almost twenty of them dealing specifically with Europe on the Move proposals - extensively contributes to shaping new policies in the European transport sector. These opinions are the result of the committed work of more than seventy members of the section that I have the honour of presiding over and, more specifically, of 13 rapporteurs. These members are making a significant contribution to EU's transport policy-making. This contribution is being made for, with and by European citizens, in consultation with various stakeholders (businesses, trade unions, consumer groups, environmentalists, etc.). At the same time, the Committee works in close cooperation with the European Commission and other EU institutions and bodies, in particular the European Parliament, whose Committee for Transport and Tourism invited six EESC rapporteurs to present the EESC's opinions on the first mobility package at its meeting of 22 and 23 January 2018. This brochure will provide you with an overview of the EESC's positions, conclusions and recommendations in the form of the eleven opinions adopted to date, referring to proposals released within the European Commission's first and second mobility packages.
This is a selective and innovative biography of Luigi Einaudi, the most outstanding scientific and political Italian personality of the first sixty decades of the 20th century. This biography highlights some lesser-known and largely unrecognized, original contributions to theories and policies that were developed and applied even many years after his death. His European writings span more than sixty-two years (1987-1959), and his proposals for a European federation have inspired 30% of the articles of the Treaty on the functioning of the EU. As a thinker, he inspired Jean Monnet, and as President of Italy, he influenced, discretely but substantially, the Italian government’s stance on the European Coal and Steel Community Treaty. Today’s “forward guidance” of the European Central Bank (ECB) is quite similar to the way he enforced his monetary policy action in 1947, after becoming governor of the Bank of Italy in 1945. Even the “unconventional” monetary policy of the ECB has clear Einaudian bases. He posited the bases of the so-called “social market economy”, as well as the ‘time inconsistency’ theory and the section of migration theory that placed emphasis on pull factors.
'On Site' presents projects and strategies in landscape architecture from Berlin to Bordeaux.

This book explores the norms, practices, and main actors in the EU Migration System of Governance (EUMSG). Bringing a fresh perspective to the analysis of asylum and migration in Europe, the volume unpacks the European Union’s approach to migration and points to the principles and actions of EU member states. Moreover, it explores the EUMSG’s performance through the lenses of three alternative yet coexistent understandings of justice (non-domination, impartiality, and mutual recognition), thereby overcoming a unilateral ethical viewpoint and moving away from the ‘open-closed borders’ debate.
