Europolis: Un’idea controcorrente di integrazione politica. Milano: Feltrinelli, 2009, 266 pp. doi: 10.2383/31386 The claims of this book can be summarized as follows: Empathy leads to sympathy. The exploration of difference creates solidarity. Insofar as solidarity constitutes society, it can be called a society’s constitution. Europe is a case in point. It is a place where strangers explore their mutual differences. Europeans are endowed with reflexive iden- tities that are the result of myriad intercultural encounters. This is particularly true about migrants, whose intercultural literacy makes them prototypical Europeans. But it is true about Europeans in general. By virtue of their real or virtual intercultural encounters, Europeans are potentially equipped with the solidarity necessary for a constitutional patriotism beyond the nation-state. -
The Future of Parliamentary Democracy: Transition and Challenge in European Governance”
EUROPEAN COMMISSION SECRETARIAT GENERAL European Governance Team Brussels, 9 November 2000 AS/ D(2000) PAPER REVIEW “The Future of Parliamentary Democracy: Transition and Challenge in European Governance” Green Paper prepared for the Conference of the European Union Speakers of Parliament, September 2000 Background of Green Paper In 1997, the Conference of the European Union Speakers of Parliament established a working group to consider the theme of ‘quality of legislation’. This group was chaired by Luciano Violante, President of the Italian Chamber of Deputies. In 1999, the working group presented its findings to the conference in a document entitled “The Complexity of Legislation and the Role of Parliaments in an Era of Globalization.” During 1999-2000 an expert group serving the EU Speakers’ working group prepared this Green Paper, which was presented to the Conference in September 2000. This group was chaired by Tom R. Burns, and included Carlo Jaeger, Angela Liberatore, Yves Meny, and Patrizia Nanz.1 The Paper highlights changes in modern society and recommends a new role for parliaments. It is interesting to note how the group’s emphasis shifted away from its original mandate to study quality legislation to a focus on how globalization has affected the political process. The Green Paper raises key issues that relate closely to several work areas of the Commission’s “White Paper on Governance.” These include the effects of globalization and scientific expertise on the democratic process, the development of a public space that involves civic actors in political debates, and the role of agencies in designing and implementing policy. The Green Paper could stimulate the thinking of multiple working groups, as it not only highlights the challenges facing policy-makers today but also offers initial solutions. -
Crisis and Futures of Democracy
Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies Press Invitation Crisis and Futures of Democracy A discussion with Charles Taylor and Patrizia Nanz on 11 December Potsdam, 1.12.2017. Modern Western democracy is undergoing a significant crisis. Public spheres and political communities are highly fractured. Right-wing populism is on the rise. Canadian philosopher Charles Taylor and German political scientist Patrizia Nanz will discuss the past, present, and future of the democratic subject, the ‘Homo Politicus’, and the shivering normative foundations of modern democracies. What institutional and social scenarios can be envisioned for the future? The IASS invites you to join the discussion: When: Monday, 11 December 2017 from 6 to 8 p.m. Where: Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies (IASS) Ballroom of the Kleist Villa, Berliner Strasse 130, 14467 Potsdam With: Charles Taylor is Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at McGill University in Montreal, Canada. He has held honorary positions at the universities of Princeton, Berkeley, Frankfurt a. M., and Hebrew University in Jerusalem. He was Professor of Social and Political Theory at the University of Oxford, and is currently in Potsdam as Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies (IASS). Patrizia Nanz is Scientific Director at the Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies (IASS) in Potsdam and Professor of Transformative Sustainability Studies at the University of Potsdam. Together with Claus Leggewie, she co-authored Die Konsultative. Mehr Demokratie durch Bürgerbeteiligung [The Consultative. More Democracy through Citizen Participation]. The discussion is moderated by Barbara Muraca, Assistant Professor of Environmental and Social Philosophy at Oregon State, USA, and Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies (IASS). -
How Warm Were Summers During the LGM in the Southeastern Carpathian Basin?

We present results of numerical modeling and July paleo temperatures based on identified land snail assemblages from loess sequences. Those two approaches are, moreover, compared with more widely used proxy data for loess sections, such as environmental magnetism, grain size, and geochemical indices. The results show that the July malacopaleothermometer provides relatively high July temperatures comparable to present day conditions, indicating consistently higher summer air temperatures than reconstructions based on numerical modeling experiments for the LGM in the Southeastern Carpathian Basin. Numerical modeling experiments related to six different models used in this study show 6.2 °C to 2.5 °C colder July air temperatures than recently measured equivalent temperatures. -

TANGR2015 Heidelberg
text TANGR2015 Heidelberg Second international workshop on Tracer Applications of Noble Gas Radionuclides in the Geosciences Heidelberg University, March 26 - 29, 2015 Kirchhoff-Institute Institute for Physics of Environmental Physics 1 Preface TANGR2015 is a workshop on the progress in the technique and application of Atom Trap Trace Analyis (ATTA). It is a follow-up to the rst TANGR workshop, TANGR2012, which was held at the Argonne National Laboratory, Argonne, USA, in June 2012. It is organized in response to recent technical advances and new applications of Atom Trap Trace Analysis (ATTA), an analytical method for measuring the isotopes 81Kr, 85Kr, and 39Ar. The primary aim of the workshop is to discuss the technical progress of ATTA and thereby enable innovative and timely applications of the noble gas radionuclides to important scientic problems in earth and environmental sciences, e.g. in the elds of groundwater hydrology, glaciology, oceanography, and paleoclimatology.
