Economics in the age of COVID-19
Joshua Gans
Cambridge: The MIT Press, 2020
Online access
"We are living in a moment of unprecedented crisis. The
international spread of COVID-19 and the measures taken by
governments to halt transmission of the virus are happening at
a scale unlike anything seen in our lifetimes. As we grapple
with the implications of social distancing and the tragic loss of
human life, we need resources to help us make sense of this
crisis. In this book, economist Joshua Gans steps back from
the short-term chaos to take a clear and systematic look at how
economic choices are being made in response to COVID-19.
He outlines the phases of the pandemic economy, from
containment to reset to recovery and enhancement."

The genome e-volution
Ivan Đikić
Luxembourg: Publications Office of the European Union, 2020
Online access
"Nanotechnology and robotics have created innovative tools
and powerful diagnostic techniques. Major therapeutic
advances have enabled us to control HIV, and more tailor-
made therapies are being implemented to treat cancer.
Nonetheless huge challenges remain, not only in the field of
cancer, but also with respect to neurodegenerative and other
diseases. At the same time, international travel and mobility,
as well as globalised trade, are affecting our living conditions
and promoting the spread of infectious diseases and new
viruses, like the COVID-19 coronavirus, all over the world."
Citizens’ solidarity in Europe civic engagement
and public discourse in times of crises
Christian Lahusen (ed.)
Cheltenham: Edward Elgar, 2020
Online access
"Citizens’ Solidarity in Europe systematically dissects the
manifestations of solidarity buried beneath the official policies
and measures of public authority in Europe. In this exciting and
innovative book, contributors offer comprehensive and original
data and highlight the detrimental factors that tend to inhibit or
annihilate solidarity, and those that are beneficial for the
nurturing of solidarity."

Brexit and the future of EU politics: a
constitutional law perspective
Ingolf Pernice ; Ana Maria Guerra Martins (eds.)
Baden-Baden: Nomos, 2019
Online access
Also available at Council Library Main Collection (105847)
"Precisely one year after the UK’ referendum on remaining or
leaving the EU, which is the basis of Brexit, the European
Constitutional Law Network (ECLN) met at the Faculty of Law
of the University of Lisbon on 23 and 24 June 2017 to discuss
‘Brexit – Challenge or End of EU Constitutional Law?'. The
formal inclusion of a withdrawal clause into the TEU through
the Treaty of Lisbon opened a Pandora’s box with
consequences that no one could predict either before the entry
into force of that Treaty or after the referendum in the UK; and
even today it is difficult to fully assess the impact of the clause
and, in particular, of making use of it."
Les méthodes d'interprétation de la Cour de
justice de l'Union européenne
Koen Lenaerts ; José A. Gutierrez-Fons (ed.)
Bruxelles: Bruylant, 2020
Online access
"La Cour de justice de l’UE assure l’interprétation uniforme des
différentes règles faisant partie de l’ordre juridique de l’Union.
La Cour étant « l’interprète suprême » du droit de l’Union,
comment dit-elle le droit ? De quelles méthodes
d’interprétation se sert-elle ? Ces méthodes sont-elles
différentes de celles employées par les juridictions nationales?
La réponse à ces questions ne s’avère pas facile, étant donné
que les traités ne contiennent aucune disposition énumérant,
et ordonnant hiérarchiquement, les méthodes d’interprétation
que la Cour peut ou doit suivre. Cette réponse se trouve donc
nécessairement dans la jurisprudence de la Cour, qui constitue
l’objet d’étude du présent ouvrage."

Border experiences in Europe
Christian Wille ; Birte Nienaber (eds.)
Baden-Baden: Nomos, 2020
Online access
"For a decade now, borders in Europe have been back on the
political agenda. Border research has responded and is
breaking new ground in thinking about and exploring borders.
This book follows this development and strengthens a
perspective that is interested in life realities and that focuses
on everyday cultural experiences of borders. The authors
reconstruct such experiences in the context of different forms
of migration and mobility as well as language contact situations
and are sensitive to the freedom of the participants. In this way,
they empirically identify everyday cultural usage or
appropriation strategies of borders as vastly different
experiences of borders."
Sichere Energieversorgung im europäischen
Mehrebenensystem
Bettina Roth
Baden-Baden: Nomos, 2016
Online access
"Die sichere Energieversorgung in Europa hängt von mehreren
Akteuren ab. Dies sind neben der EU und ihren Mitgliedstaaten
die Energieunternehmen und deren Lieferanten aus
Drittstaaten. Dabei stellen sich mehrere Probleme: Während
für die Beschaffung von Energie völkerrechtlich geregelt ist, ist
für die Verteilung Regulierungsrecht einschlägig. Zudem
verfolgt das Energierecht neben der Energiesicherheit auch
die Ziele der Marktintegration und des Umweltschutzes; diese
Ziele beeinflussen einander und müssen zu einem Ausgleich
gebracht werden."

Méthodologie de l'étude d'impact
climatique droits européen, français et anglo-
saxon
Christian Huglo
Bruxelles: Bruylant, 2020
Online access
"Le contentieux climatique qui se développe au niveau mondial
est une réalité qui ne peut être ignorée: il préfigure ce qui sera
le droit de demain car il trace la voie de ce que devrait être une
politique de réduction et d’adaptation au réchauffement
climatique lequel ne cesse de s’accélérer."

Preventing workplace harassment in a #MeToo
world
Bobbi K. Dominick
Chicago: Society For Human Resource Management, 2018
Online access
"Combining a comprehensive study of employment practices
with academic research on human behaviour, author Dominick
uncovers what really prevents harassment in the workplace
(and what does not). A multifaceted and proactive approach is
presented that examines leadership behaviour critical to
promoting a culture of respect and establishing appropriate
policies and behaviour expectations."
