Ce livre examine les initiatives gouvernementales grecques dans le domaine de la culture, leur relation à la politique européenne ainsi que le rôle de l'argument culturel dans le cadre des efforts de la Grèce en vue de son insertion dans la famille européenne du lendemain de la Seconde guerre mondiale jusqu'à la signature du traité d'adhésion à la CEE (1944-1979).Dès la fin de la seconde guerre mondiale, les gouvernements grecs choisissent l'Occident à travers l'affirmation de la priorité à l'ancrage européen de leur pays. A la suite de la création de la CEE, la Grèce réussit à devenir le premier pays associé à la CEE (1961). Ce processus, interrompu par la dictature (1967- 1974), se conclut par la signature du traité d'adhésion en 1979. Mais à côté de motivations économique, ce choix renvoyait en réalité à des motivations beaucoup plus profondes.Relevant de l'histoire des relations internationales et plus précisément de l'histoire de l'intégration européenne durant la période d'après-guerre, ce livre cherche à combler les lacunes historiographiques sur les relations entre la Grèce et l'Europe occidentale, en donnant une image renouvelée de cette relation au-delà de sa dimension économique. Il s'agit d'une tentative d'expliquer comment se développe une politique culturelle, comment cette politique est liée aux questions d'identité, de modernisation et d'appartenance à un certain environnement, et dans quelle mesure les initiatives dans le domaine culturel constituent le coeur de la politique européenne de la Grèce.

Medieval cetacean (whales, dolphins, and porpoises) exploitation has frequently been connected to various medieval societies, including the Basques, Norse, Normans, and Flemish. Primarily for the ninth to the twelfth centuries AD, it has been argued that the symbolic significance of cetaceans surpassed their utilitarian value and that their consumption was restricted to the social elite. The extent to which active whaling was practised remains unclear. The identification of zooarchaeological cetacean fragments to the species level is hard and as a result they are frequently merely identified as 'whale', resulting in a poor understanding of human-cetacean interaction in the past. Zooarchaeological research as part of this study has revealed that medieval cetacean exploitation was widespread and especially the harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena), common bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus), and the North Atlantic right whale (Eubalaena glacialis) were frequently targeted. The exploitation additionally seems to have often been restricted to the social elite.

Scientists like to proclaim that science knows no borders. Scientific researchers follow the evidence where it leads, their conclusions free of prejudice or ideology. But is that really the case? In Freedom's Laboratory, Audra J. Wolfe shows how these ideas were tested to their limits in the high-stakes propaganda battles of the Cold War. Wolfe examines the role that scientists, in concert with administrators and policymakers, played in American cultural diplomacy after World War II. During this period, the engines of US propaganda promoted a vision of science that highlighted empiricism, objectivity, a commitment to pure research, and internationalism. Working (both overtly and covertly, wittingly and unwittingly) with governmental and private organizations, scientists attempted to decide what, exactly, they meant when they referred to "scientific freedom" or the "US ideology." More frequently, however, they defined American science merely as the opposite of Communist science. Uncovering many startling episodes of the close relationship between the US government and private scientific groups, Freedom's Laboratory is the first work to explore science's link to US propaganda and psychological warfare campaigns during the Cold War. Closing in the present day with a discussion of the recent March for Science and the prospects for science and science diplomacy in the Trump era, the book demonstrates the continued hold of Cold War thinking on ideas about science and politics in the United States.

Immigration has become one of the central issues dominating the agenda of political parties, and has also played a crucial role in the rise of right-wing populism in Western Europe. This book explores the role of conservative parties in immigration policy change. The following questions are addressed: What explains the introduction of restrictive immigration policies across a number of European states? Why do conservative parties choose to toughen their immigration policy stances? How can we explain the variation in the factors that affect conservative parties’ immigration policy-making logics? What mechanisms account for the dynamics of immigration policy change or policy deadlock? Based on interviews with political elites and policy makers in the UK, Switzerland and France, the book explains why governmental conservative parties in these countries revised their immigration policy stances and steered immigration policy in a more restrictive direction between 2002 and 2015. Anna McKeever is Lecturer in Social Sciences at the University of the West of Scotland, UK. Her research interests include party politics, immigration and populism.
