📣 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

'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...

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