Europe

Grandi Opere - Three volumes dedicated to Europe, to promote better understanding of the richness and potential of the European project on multiple interpretative levels.

"Overall, this work – with the wealth of contributions it offers – is an invitation to all readers, especially young people, to think about making a choice... i.e. whether to choose a unity (together with an inevitable diversity) which is clearly essential if in the coming years Europe wishes to play a leading role on a global level.” From the preface by Franco Gallo President of the Italian Encyclopaedia Institute Volume 1 EUROPE. A UTOPIA UNDER CONSTRUCTION The first volume guides the reader through the various stages of the process of European integration. It explains the historical evolution of the Union’s institutions, offering a detailed analysis of their mutual interaction and how they intersect with Member States, focusing on the most critical issues, evaluating the state of health of Europe and suggesting possible solutions. Volume 2 EUROPE. THE CHALLENGES OF SCIENCE The second volume focuses on scientific research as the engine of supranational unity in Europe. It focuses on innovative processes today, from the development of scientific and communication networks to infrastructures, from industry to technological research, reflecting on ethics, bioethics and environmental and energy issues. Volume 3 EUROPE. CULTURES AND SOCIETIES The third volume explores the social aspects that have contributed to implementing this lofty project for peace which has lasted 60 years. European society is analysed from various points of view: from the dynamics of migratory flows to the labour market, from artistic expression to religious identities, without neglecting traditions, tourism, educational policies, family issues and generational differences.
