Chinese Investments and the Economic Security Turn in Europe

Chinese Investments and the Economic Security Turn in Europe

Francesca Ghiretti

Bristol University Press
2025
sidottu
Focusing on inward foreign direct investment (FDI) screening, this book provides an in-depth analysis of how European states’ economic interactions with China have become a security issue. Based on 100 interviews with scholars, journalists, policy makers, and politicians from across Europe, the book underscores the importance of the policy making process that led to the adoption of investment screening in European nations for the development of the EU's economic security approach. The book details how the economic security shift in Europe is attributed to changes such as China’s growing economic presence, the persistence of non-market practices, the loss of competitiveness, and the use of economic statecraft.

Stronger than Death

Stronger than Death

Francesca Bratton

John Murray Press

'Poignant and fiercely intelligent, this is the best work of creative non-fiction I have read in years' FIONA MOZLEY'Profound, moving and courageous' IRISH TIMES'Stimulating and often engaging . . . Bratton has developed a real technique of her own here' TLSIn April 1931, modernist poet Hart Crane arrived in Mexico City. Between mood swings, dire financial difficulties, and a rotating series of personal estrangements, Hart was struggling to make the parts of a fragmentary world cohere. This move to Mexico was one in a long list of attempts to find security. In just over a year he would be dead.In July 1932, Grace Crane picks up the morning paper. Scanning the headlines, she is halted on page five. Her son's eyes stare back at her, tinted pink by the thin paper: 'POET LOST AT SEA FROM SHIP'.Hart Crane's death has accrued a morbid mythology, often overshadowing discussions of his work. In Stronger than Death Francesca Bratton focuses instead on Hart's vivid life and his turbulent final year among the vibrant artistic and political communities of Mexico City. Interwoven with Hart's story is that of his mother, exploring Grace's lifelong frustrated creativity and, after his death, her attempts to reach him through seance. Finally, the book explores Hart's legacy as a queer man and as a poet, informed by Francesca's responses to his work during her own periods of mental illness. Part-memoir, part-biography, Stronger than Death is a profound and lyrical meditation on grief, mental health, enduring love and the power of poetry.

*A Sunday Times Book of the Year*'A hugely generous and thoughtful book which reminds us of the distinction between loneliness on the one hand and solitude on the other - and emphasises the dignity and adventure of a life lived on one's own terms' - ALAIN DE BOTTON'A kind, wise celebration of solo living - a joyous invitation to make your own declaration of independence' - DAISY BUCHANAN'Thoughtful and thought provoking, it made me genuinely excited about spending time in my own company' - FELICITY CLOAKEHow to be alone and absolutely own it, by founder of the Alonement blog and podcast, Francesca Specter.Being alone has a serious branding issue. We've only ever had negative language to talk about flying solo - but what about when time spent alone is restorative and joyful? What if it's something you crave? What if it's even just an hour you've carved out for yourself in the middle of a hectic week?Enter: Alonement, Francesca Specter's empowering new word to express valuing your own company and dedicating quality time to yourself, whoever you are and whatever your relationship status.Between shared homes, social plans and smartphone addictions, most of us don't know how to be alone - yet our life-long relationship with ourselves is the most important one we'll ever have. A reformed 'extreme extrovert' who struggled to spend even an hour on her own, Francesca made the resolution in January 2019 to improve her solitude skills. A year later, facing months of lockdown as a household-of-one, she valued those skills more than ever - and began sharing her wisdom with others on how to cherish time alone.Packed with practical tips, insights from key experts and lessons from guests of the Alonement podcast - including Alain de Botton, Florence Given, Konnie Huq, Vick Hope and Camilla Thurlow - Francesca reveals how we can all thrive alone, whatever our circumstances, and harness the untapped power of some meaningful time with me, myself and I.

La nostra vita molto complessa. Non siamo solo mogli, solo madri, solo figlie, solo amiche o solo amanti. Il nostro modo di rapportarci con gli altri molto pi articolato, ma quando per raggiungere quello che per noi significa la felicit questi ruoli entrano in conflitto tra loro, allora che dobbiamo fare? Rinunciarci cercando di ristabilire i vecchi equilibri, lasciando vincere cio la nostra coscienza, o perseguire la nostra felicit anche a costo di perdere tutto, sconfessando anche quei principi in cui tanto avevamo creduto? Questa la battaglia in cui si trova coinvolta Margot, che ha sempre creduto che educare i suoi figli significasse principalmente dargli il buon esempio, che stare accanto a suo marito dopo quell'incidente che lo aveva trasformato in un'altra persona, fosse comunque suo dovere, anche scoprendo di non amarlo pi . Quando conosce Manuel per , tutti i suoi punti fermi iniziano a vacillare e allora le s'imporranno delle scelte.

Margherita Moretti shares nothing with her father except a knack for painting. When he dies unexpectedly, she dresses as a man to finish the project he started in the cathedral in town. While she's there, she becomes reacquainted with Luca Migliore, a man she knew as a child, a boy who claimed he could travel through time and who promised to return for her as soon as he got rich. Now he's rich, but perhaps he's forgotten his promises. Does he feel the same flames she does when they are together? What secrets are hidden behind his mysterious eyes?When she's forced to flee the town of her birth or face execution, Margherita ends up in Rome, where she learns how to support herself in the only way a destitute Renaissance woman is able: through prostitution. She meets the dashing Ricardo di Medici, whose affection for art seems to rival her own, and they embark on a torrid affair. Is it love or is it merely business? And what is she to make of Luca's sudden reappearance in her life and his warnings that Ricardo is not the man he claims to be?When Margherita stumbles on a frightening truth, which man will have her back, and which man will throw her to the metaphorical wolves? The truth has never been less clear to her, and the stakes have never been so high.

Things aren't always what they seem in the third and final installment of the Rogues of Rome, which finds painter, Margherita Moretti, and wealthy aristocrat, Luca Migliore, fleeing to the future to rescue a stolen painter and seek revenge on the past lover of Luca's who stole it years ago. When Margherita takes on a disguise as a twenty-first century expert in Italian Renaissance painting, she must learn to navigate colleagues who dislike her, a translator who won't stop talking, and a museum vault that contains a surprising revelation. And that's only part of the struggle. In twenty-first century New York City, doors open magically, stoves aren't supposed to catch on fire, and people can fly higher than birds. With a confusing new set of rules, it seems like it's only a matter of time before Margherita messes up the entire scheme.Luca and Margherita battle increasing attraction and the heart-wrenching misunderstandings that are keeping them from surrendering everything to each other. Will they finally come to terms with their feelings for each other, or will they lose each other across the yawning expanse of time and space? In the most crucial and thrilling moment of their acquaintance, what will they be willing to sacrifice for the safety and comfort of the other? Will they have a future together?
