National Constitutions in European and Global Governance: Democracy, Rights, the Rule of Law: National Reports
This two-volume book, published open access, brings together leading scholars of constitutional law from twenty-nine European countries to revisit the role of national constitutions at a time when decision-making has increasingly shifted to the European and transnational level. It offers important insights into three areas. First, it explores how constitutions reflect the transfer of powers from domestic to European and global institutions. Secondly, it revisits substantive constitutional values, such as the protection of constitutional rights, the rule of law, democratic participation and constitutional review, along with constitutional court judgments that tackle the protection of these rights and values in the transnational context, e.g. with regard to the Data Retention Directive, the European Arrest Warrant, the ESM Treaty, and EU and IMF austerity measures. The responsiveness of the ECJ regarding the above rights and values, along with the standard of protection, is also assessed.

This groundbreaking work explores the African-American experience through personal observations and social analysis. Du Bois introduces influential concepts like "double consciousness"—the experience of viewing oneself through both one's own eyes and those of a prejudiced society—and "the veil" that separates black and white Americans. Through essays on education, freedom, and justice, he examines the color line dividing races and argues for voting rights, quality education, and equal treatment.

The Man Who Was Thursday: A Nightmare
"The Man Who Was Thursday: A Nightmare" by G. K. Chesterton is a philosophical novel with elements of adventure and satire, written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the enigmatic character Gabriel Syme, a police detective who infiltrates a group of anarchists in London to uncover their plans and identities. As the narrative unfolds, it explores complex themes of order, chaos, and the nature of evil, often through witty dialogue and absurd situations that challenge conventional thinking. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to the suburb of Saffron Park, with its colorful and eccentric inhabitants, primarily poets and artists. One evening, during a striking sunset, the anarchistic poet Lucian Gregory meets Gabriel Syme, who surprises him with bold arguments in favor of law and order, challenging Gregory's views. Their conversation escalates into a duel of ideologies when Gregory reveals his deep commitment to anarchism, which leads to a confrontation between the two. In a twist of fate, Syme's true identity as a detective is disclosed, and as he joins the anarchists disguised as one of them, the stage is set for a profound exploration of the philosophical conflict between chaos and structure in society.
