Danilo Di Mauro Boeken

The book offers a detailed empirical analysis of UN intervention in the Arab-Israeli conflict from 1947 onward, providing insights into its evolution over six decades. The author meticulously examines the multifaceted role of the UN, highlighting key events and shifts in strategy that have shaped the conflict. This comprehensive study not only sheds light on the historical context but also emphasizes the long-term implications of international involvement in one of the world's most enduring disputes.

The book addresses the topic of EU legitimacy by exploring the forms, origins and effects of citizens' support to EU institutions. Through examining the wide-ranging levels of support, the authors show how these multi-faceted attitudes cast shade on the outdated, somewhat one-dimensional concept of Euroscepticism. Di Mauro and Memoli not only observe how political issues and the economic crisis affect public opinion, but also demonstrate how national contexts play a crucial role in shaping attitudes towards Europe at any level of support. This volume shows how the lack of accountability in the EU system makes it increasingly vulnerable to the negative effects of economic and societal shocks, and the 'national lens' that we view the EU through influences our voting choices.
