📣 It’s publication day for the updated, paperback edition of 'Circle of Stars: A History of the EU - And The People Who Made It'. I've been bowled over by the response to the hardback and can't wait for the book to reach an even wider readership @YaleBooks yalebooks.co.uk/book/9780300...

It was a privilege to discuss this great book by @ztruchlewski.bsky.social, @nenaoana.bsky.social, @alexmoise.bsky.social and Hanspeter Kriesi @ces-europe.bsky.social . It is a must read on how Europeans stood together during the pandemic and whether such solidarity was exceptional or the new norm.

Dublin is the only large European capital without a metro: what would Leopold Bloom make of that? | Dermot Hodson In James Joyce’s Ulysses, the city’s most famous fictional resident was as frustrated by its transport links in 1904 as many of us are today, says professor of political economy Dermot Hodson

'However frustrated Bloom would have been over the project’s delays, he would have nodded vigorously at its proposed route, especially the section from Glasnevin to Mater station on his own Eccles Street.'

'Ulysses’ fixation with transport...doesn’t just provide colour and comic relief. It carries James Joyce’s own hopes for a new Ireland that achieves its potential.' As Bloomsday nears, read my article on Dublin's controversial metro project in @theguardian.com: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

50 years ago today, the first European Council was held in Dublin, putting the heads of state or government at the centre of European integration. For all its shortcomings, it has been remarkably effective at building & maintaining consensus in times of crisis. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rBt...

Why does the largest trading bloc on the planet have a miniature-sized currency? With Trump, the EU will again much regret this.
