The EU is one of the most notoriously complex international organisations. It is the only supranational organisation where nation-states agree to share sovereignty in some areas but not in others. At the heart of the EU debate across Europe are two opposing groups: one aims to devolve more sovereignty to the EU, with the aim of creating a European 'super-state' and the other wishes to devolve less, effectively relegating the EU to a mere discussion forum. In this accessible and engaging book, Mark Corner provides an essential introduction to the history and modern workings of the EU. Focusing on key themes in the union's development and the debates surrounding future enlargement, this book answers the key questions related to the EU and provides a 'one-stop shop' for anyone curious about future of Europe.

Exploring the complexities of divine discourse, this book delves into whether discussions about God are grounded in a shared understanding. It examines various religious perspectives on God's existence, the possibility of proving it, and the moral implications of God's nature. Through these inquiries, the text challenges readers to reflect on their beliefs and the diverse interpretations of the divine across cultures and faiths.

Exploring the concept of immortality, the book delves into profound questions about life after death, including the desirability of eternal life and the implications of beliefs in Heaven, Hell, and reincarnation. It examines the state of existence in an afterlife, considering whether souls are immortal or bodies resurrected. Furthermore, it addresses the broader societal implications of these beliefs, reflecting on how the fate of individuals intertwines with the collective experience of humanity and the universe.

Exploring the concept of kenosis, this book argues for its necessity in developing a viable theology. It draws heavily on the theological insights of Donald MacKinnon, emphasizing how a kenotic approach can reshape our understanding of God and divine interaction with the world. The work invites readers to reconsider traditional theological frameworks through this unique lens.

Brexit is a tale of two unions, not one: the British and the European unions. Their origins are different, but both struggle to maintain unity in diversity and both have to face the challenge of populism and claims of democratic deficit. Mark Corner suggests that the »four nations« that make up the UK can only survive as part of a single nation-state, if the country looks more sympathetically at the very European structures from which it has chosen to detach itself. This study addresses both academic and lay audiences interested in the current situation of the UK, particularly the strains raised by devolution and Brexit.
