Facing War: Rethinking Europe's Security and Defence

Serena Giusti, Giovanni Grevi

Beschreibung

Russia's attack on Ukraine has sent shockwaves across Europe and the world. While the current war is a geopolitical turning point, it remains unclear whether it will trigger a quantum leap forward for European defence policies and for the role of the European Union as a security provider. This Report investigates whether we can expect a further convergence of European strategic cultures, and on collaboration among Europeans to generate the required military capabilities and integrate their forces. Most importantly, it finds that the timely implementation of the EU's Strategic Compass will be a decisive test to establish whether Europeans are rising to the challenge of taking more responsibility for their security and defence.

Squanto - A Native Odyssey

Andrew Lipman

Taken to Europe as a slave, he found his way home and changed the course of American history 
 
 
  
American schoolchildren have long learned about Squanto, the welcoming Native who made the First Thanksgiving possible, but his story goes deeper than the holiday legend. Born in the Wampanoag-speaking town of Patuxet in the late 1500s, Squanto was kidnapped in 1614 by an English captain, who took him to Spain. From there, Englishmen brought him to London and Newfoundland before sending him home in 1619, when Squanto discovered that most of Patuxet had died in an epidemic. A year later, the Mayflower colonists arrived at his home and renamed it Plymouth. 
 
 
  
Prize-winning historian Andrew Lipman explores the mysteries that still surround Squanto: How did he escape bondage and return home? Why did he help the English after an Englishman enslaved him? Why did he threaten Plymouth's fragile peace with its neighbors? Was it true that he converted to Christianity on his deathbed? Drawing from a wide range of evidence and newly uncovered sources, Lipman reconstructs Squanto's upbringing, his transatlantic odyssey, his career as an interpreter, his surprising downfall, and his enigmatic death. The result is a fresh look at an epic life that ended right when many Americans think their story begins.

Aotearoa New Zealand - The...

Lillian Brooks

Aotearoa New Zealand, located in the southwestern Pacific Ocean, is a country with a rich and diverse history that stretches back over a thousand years. Its historical and cultural journey has been shaped by the convergence of Māori and European influences, which has made Aotearoa one of the most unique nations in the world. The story of Aotearoa is not just one of migration and colonization but also of resilience, adaptation, and the constant negotiation of identity, land, and culture.
The Māori people, the indigenous inhabitants of New Zealand, arrived from eastern Polynesia in several waves of migration around the 13th century. Over the centuries, they developed a sophisticated culture, which included a rich oral tradition, strong tribal structures, and deep spiritual and cultural ties to the land. The Māori worldview was shaped by the concept of whenua (land), whakapapa (genealogy), and wairua (spirit), and their connection to the environment played a fundamental role in shaping their social and cultural practices.
The arrival of Europeans, led by explorers such as Abel Tasman in 1642 and Captain James Cook in 1769, marked a turning point in New Zealand’s history. Initial encounters between Māori and Europeans were characterized by curiosity, exchange, and occasional conflict. However, as European settlement expanded throughout the 19th century, the effects on Māori society became profound. The introduction of new technologies, ideas, and diseases, coupled with land confiscation and colonization, reshaped the cultural landscape of the country. This period led to the displacement of Māori from their ancestral lands and the beginning of a long history of legal and political struggles to protect their rights and sovereignty.

The Power of Black Excellence -...

Deondra Rose

From their founding, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) educated as many as 90 percent of Black college students in the United States. Although many are aware of the significance of HBCUs in expanding Black Americans' educational opportunities, much less attention has been paid to the vital role that they have played in expanding American democracy. 
 
 
 
In The Power of Black Excellence, Deondra Rose provides an authoritative history of HBCUs and the unique role they have played in shaping American democracy since 1865. Drawing on over six years of deep research, Rose brings into view the historic impact that government support for HBCUs has had on the American political landscape, arguing that they have been essential for not only empowering Black citizens but also reshaping the distribution of political power in the United States. Today, HBCUs remain extremely important, as evidenced by the outsized number of black political leaders—including Kamala Harris—who attended them. Rose stresses that policymakers promote democracy itself when they support HBCUs and their unique approach to postsecondary education, which includes a commitment to helping students develop politically empowering skills, promoting political leadership, and fostering a commitment to service.
