Tollebeek "], "item_description" : "In the autumn of 2015 the Dutch-English publicist Ian Buruma gave direction to the thinker's programme 'The End of Postwar', organised by the Flemish Royal Academy. The programme was triggered by Buruma's publication Year zero: a history of 1945, which focuses on the coming into being of a new global order in the aftermath of World War Two. The birth of a welfare state and the European unification process were its two most remarkable achievements. Both, however, have been under constant pressure since the beginning of the 21st century. Two workshops and a two-day symposium brought together thinkers from the scientific, cultural and political worlds in order to reflect on the central theme of 'The end of postwar: which future for Europe?'. This collection of essays reflects the debates, which dealt with issues such as the re-invention of the welfare state, the breach of the postwar consensus, the durability of humanism and the role of a United Europe as an answer to history.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers4.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/04/293/644/9042936444_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "55.00", "online_price" : "55.00", "our_price" : "55.00", "club_price" : "55.00", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
