Trump and the Distrusting Electorate -- "I don't, frankly, have time for total political correctness." (Ad Populum) -- "It's going to be like this .... I'm going to continue to attack the press." (Ad Baculum) -- "You could have a Trojan horse situation. You could--this could be the ultimate Trojan horse." (Reification) -- "Now, the poor guy. You gotta see this guy."

"A Certain Idea of Europe traces the progressive victory of this project in France, where the battle over European institutions erupted most divisively. Drawing on archival materials and extensive interviews with French policy-makers, the author carefully traces a fifty-year conflict between radically different European plans. Only through aggressive leadership did the advocates of a supranational "community" Europe succeed at building the EU and binding their opponents within it." "Parsons puts the causal impact of ideas, and their binding effects through institutions, at the center of his book. In so doing he presents a strong logic of social construction - a sharp departure from other accounts of EU history that downplay the role of ideas and ideology."--BOOK JACKET

Can the United Kingdom survive devolution, European integration, reform of the Lords, slimming of the monarchy and proportional representation? Will the new House of Lords be anything more than a rubber stamp full of friends of the Prime Minister? Will Scotland now shatter the Union by demanding full independence? In this dramatic new book John Redwood looks at the sweeping changes to Britain's institutions, democracy and the way of life now arising from the European project. Viewing the Blairite revolution as the agency for wider changes coming from the agenda of France, Germany and the European Commission, Redwood asks the key questions: are these changes inevitable, are they desirable, and what will they mean for British democracy?
