The British Contribution To The Europe Of The Twenty-First Century: The Clifford Chance Lectures

Description

“Europe” is one of the defining issues of our times. Politically, economically, legally, culturally, it is a source of division to some and inspiration for others. This book contains essays written by eminent authors to celebrate the Centenary of the British Academy, the country’s leading academic institution for Social Sciences and the Humanities. Their central theme is “Britain’s Contribution to the Europe of the Twenty-First Century” and it is approached in an inter-disciplinary way from the different angles of law, politics, economics and the humanities.
