Edited by Francesco Tava and Noëlle Quénivet
Since the inception of this book back in 2019, dramatic events have shaken the world, thrusting European solidarity to the forefront of public consciousness like never before.
The Covid pandemic, warfare on our continent, migration crises stemming from political turbulence and climate upheaval, and the rise of political extremism, all underscore the renewed need for concrete solidarity.
In the face of these profound challenges, our new book argues that solidaristic responses from policymakers and citizens are imperative.
Readers will delve deep into the heart of European solidarity — scrutinising its past, analysing its present, and envisaging its transformative future.
Unravelling the enigma of European solidarity, this compelling volume offers critical insight into what solidarity truly means — and what it must evolve into. Join us in exploring the boundless potential of solidarity in tackling adversity.
