Curriculum vitae. 1. ʹEuropean unityʹ Tolstoy famously began his novel Anna Karenina stating that all happy families look alike, whereas all unhappy families are unhappy in their own way. We can paraphrase this to state that, in the public perception, all happy moments go unnoticed, whereas all unhappy moments deserve a story of their own. That might provide for a first level of explanation for why the memory of European unity has been silent until recently, whereas the memory of war is alive and well. As it seems, only bad news is news. To be sure, in the case of European integration — a catch-all term that often encompasses all institutional developments under the umbrella first of the European Communities and then the European Union — at least two more elements account for that silence. First, its storytelling has been perceived as a summation of indecipherable achievements by men behind desks, wearing grey suits. Yet, Bronislaw Geremek, historian of the disenfranchised of the Middle Ages (Geremek, 1976), and irreproachable Polish political figure who refused to abide by lustration, highlighted the importance of acting on European memory (Thines, 2008), when almost no one put those two words together, particularly during his term as Member of the European Parliament and at the time of his tragic death in a 2008 car accident. Second, accounts of the beginnings of European integration are often sur- rounded by a deliberate atemporality. Of all the founding fathers, Jean Monnet had a pivotal role in the articulation of the first practical steps: in 1950 he drafted the text with which the French Foreign Affairs minister Robert Schu- man would

    Regarding dethroned princely Houses and their legal rights Reference is made to the decision of the United Court of Bari of the 1st April 1952 in the case of the prosecutor vs. Umberto Zambrini and to the decision of the Tribunal of Pistoia of the 5th June 1964 in the case of the appeal against the penal judgment given against Francesco Mario Paternò Castello having found Prince Francesco Mario Paternò Castello di Carcaci, in his capacity as the last representative of a sovereign dynasty (the Royal House of Aragon), entitled to confer titles of nobility (the Court of Bari), respectively being the heir to the House of Paternò Castello Guttadauro di Emmanuel and legitimate holder of the same family’s rights, including the power of ius honorum which has been preserved by family tradition and which cannot disappear through dethronement (Pistoia). Further reference is made to the decision of the Ordinary Tribunal of Ragusa of the 9th May 2003, in session as an international court of arbitration, in the case between the Higher Institute of Nobiliary Law vs. Francesco Nicola Roberto Paternò Castello di Carcaci. According to the findings of the court of arbitration the following rights belong to Francesco Nicola Roberto Paternò Castello di Carcaci, in his capacity as consanguineous and descendant in a collateral line of the last sovereign of the Royal House of Aragon as his legitimate successor and as pretender to the throne: a) the quality of Royal Highness and Royal Prince of the Royal House of Aragon, Majorca and Sicily; b) the right to designate

The rE a of Metternichian Conservatism, 1815-1848 Abstract Before either political liberalism or nationalism could become institutionalized, the Continent passed through a period of conservative reaction. Taking their cue from Edmund Burke, who "as early as 1790 strove to discredit France's great experiment by associating it with the excesses of reason and revolution, many people blamed liberalism for the quarter century of war, and chaos that followed.

    Perspectives on World History Change and Continuity 2

    CHAPTER Perspectives on World History Change and Continuity 2 hree miles west of the modern city of Córdoba, Spain, lies the buried city Tof Medina Azahara. Constructed in the tenth century, Medina Azahara was the political and cultural hub of the Islamic kingdom of al-Andalus, the Arabic name for the Iberian Peninsula (current-day Spain and Portugal). There was nothing in Europe to compare to it. It was, in the words of a current scholar of that period, “like New York versus, well, a rural village in Mexico.”1 The Islamic world, not Christian Europe, was the center of the universe. Today, even though excavations began in 1910, only about 10 percent of the buried city has been Our identity comes in part from history, sometimes buried right beneath our feet, as in the case depicted here of the ancient Muslim city of Medina Azahara in southern Spain. Ninety uncovered and restored. Now, the site is percent of this Islamic metropolis remains unexcavated. threatened by urban sprawl and the vagaries of government funding to preserve the ruins. Too few people know about it and care to preserve it. Yet this history, however ancient, constitutes the basis of our global political heritage. It is worth studying to gain insights about our contemporary world. How we view this history, of course, depends on our perspective. The realist perspective looks at world history through the lens of power distribution. It sees a dynamic of two major configurations of power over the past 5,000 years: empire and equilibrium. These two configurations cycled back and forth, as empires consolidated dominant power and smaller powers resisted to reestablish equilibrium.

She was notorious in both Russia and Great Britain for a variety of reasons. Considering her reputation in 19th century diplomatic circles, it is surprising that Dorothea is not a well-known figure today. Her husband Christopher Andreyevich Lieven (Христофор Андреевич Ливен, 1774 – 1838) was the Russian ambassador to England and represented Russia in London between 1812 and 1834. Dorothea joined him in the move to England, where she established herself as a diplomatic force in the Russian embassy. Beside diplomatic involvement, she was a sensation in England’s high society and an esteemed patroness of Almack’s, London’s exclusive social club. Here she introduced the waltz in England in 1813. However, it is unlikely that the anonymous author from the Times would have described her as “mischievous” and “ supercilious” for introducing a dance to the ballrooms of English high society.

THE MARSHALL PLAN: HISTORY AND LEGACY – 13 Chapter 1. The Marshall Plan: History and Legacy by Gerard Bossuat The Marshall Plan, officially called European Recovery Program (ERP), was in place from April 1948 to September 1951. Most contemporary actors considered that it played an essential role in the economic successes of postwar Western Europe. The various European programs of modernization greatly benefited from the ERP, since it financed imports essential to reconstruction and modernization. It produced counterparts in European currencies, the allocation of which needs to be clarified, and generated a debate on their use. Moreover, the Marshall Plan was at the origin of the Organisation for European Economic Co-operation (OEEC), created to encourage European unity. The Marshall Plan was a political tool in the hands of the American administration in the context of the Cold War and the defense of the West. What was the role of the Marshall Plan in the development of a consumer society? Was the Marshall Plan Americanizing European societies? The ERP thus also held a socio-cultural dimension. Finally, over the last 60 years the Marshall Plan has become a myth. Whenever our countries are hit by a crisis, the media or politicians ask for a “new Marshall Plan”. The Marshall Plan was, and remains, appreciated, but it also raised criticisms in Europe. So we have to separate what belongs to history and what belongs to the collective memory or to the myth.
