  • For activists in West Germany, politicization often began in childhood. This was frequently followed by decades of intense political engagement, in myriad forms and venues, insisting on the free and democratic values their post-fascist country was supposed to embody. Through oral histories of fifty-five West German activists, this study explores how individuals became and remained politicized. Belinda Davis examines the diverse lived experiences of these activists, highlighting how social change took place both through protest and in the building of alternatives. In doing so, this study challenges conventional portrayals of 'the student movement' and of the ''68ers' and reveals the critical role of activists' experiences across decades, locations and venues. At a moment when we once again face challenges to democracy and peaceful political expression, this historic engagement offers valuable lessons on the achievements of grassroots politics, emphasizing just how personal is the political.

  • Illuminating the shared world of Clara and Robert Schumann, this volume takes a renewed look at the Schumanns and reconsiders them both as individual artists and as a couple who each charted their trajectories with the other in mind. It focuses on key aspects of their artistic and cultural environments amid the creative and political ferment of nineteenth-century Germany and traces their critical reception from their own time to the present day. The topics range from personal and professional relationships to their socio-cultural environment and their influence on subsequent generations of musicians, giving fresh perspectives on established themes and introducing new material and sources particularly in relation to Clara. The book broadens and re-evaluates existing understandings of the Schumanns and makes scholarship currently better known in the German-speaking sphere accessible to English-language readers.

The History of European Union Law
  • Constitutional Practice, 1950 to 1993

  • This formative period of EU law witnessed an intense struggle over the emergence of a constitutional practice. While the supranational institutions, including the European Commission, the European Court of Justice and the European Parliament, as well as EU law academics helped to develop and promote the constitutional practice, member state governments and judiciaries were generally reluctant to embrace it. The struggle resulted in an uneasy stalemate in which the constitutional practice was allowed to influence the doctrines, shape and functioning of the European legal order that now underpins the EU, but a majority of member state governments rejected European constitutionalism as the legitimating principle of the new EU formed on basis of the Treaty of Maastricht (1992). The struggle and eventual stalemate over the constitutional practice traced in this book accounts for the fragile and partial system of rule of law that exists in the EU today.

The Cambridge Urban History of Europe
  • Volume 1, Ancient Europe
  • General editor Maarten Prak
  • Edited by Penelope J. E. Davies, Christina G. Williamson
  • Coming soon

  • Volume I offers a broad perspective on urban culture in the ancient European world. It begins with chronological overviews which paint in broad brushstrokes a picture that serves as a frame for the thematic chapters in the rest of the volume. Positioning ancient Europe within its wider context, it touches on Asia and Africa as regions that informed and were later influenced by urban development in Europe, with particular emphasis on the Mediterranean basin. Topics range from formal characteristics (including public space), water provision, waste disposal, urban maintenance, spaces for the dead, and border spaces; to ways of thinking about, visualising, and remembering cities in antiquity; to conflict within and between cities, economics, mobility and globalisation, intersectional urban experiences, slavery, political participation, and religion.

The Undeciphered Aegean Scripts
  • Linguistic Investigations into the Languages They Encode

  • The decipherment of Linear B, an early form of Greek used by the Myceneans, by Michael Ventris and John Chadwick has long been celebrated. But five other scripts from the Bronze-Age Aegean remain undeciphered. In this book, Brent Davis provides a thorough introduction to these scripts and uses statistical techniques drawn from linguistics to provide insights into the languages lying behind them. He deals most extensively with the script of the Minoan civilization on Crete (“Linear A”), whose decipherment remains one of the Holy Grails of archaeology. He discusses linguistic topics in clear language and explains linguistic terms in a comprehensive glossary. The book also includes all data on which the various analyses of the scripts are based. It will therefore be of great interest and use not just to experts in the undeciphered Aegean scripts, but to novices and aficionados of decipherment as well.

  • Excessive calorie, sugar and salt intake in children’s diets is a public health concern(1). The UK government introduced voluntary salt(2) and sugar(3) reduction programmes to improve the nutritional content of key food categories. Breakfast cereals are an important breakfast choice in children’s diet and are frequently marketed using child-appealing packages(4). This study aims to assess the impact of these initiatives on improving breakfast cereals with child-appealing packaging from 2020 to 2023.

    We conducted repeated cross-sectional surveys yearly from 2020 to 2023, collecting data on energy, total sugars, fibre, and salt content per 100g from the nutrition information panel of breakfast cereals available in nine major UK retailers and meeting the child-appealing packaging (e.g. cartoons) criteria(5). Statistical analysis, including the Friedman test and χ2 tests, was performed to assess changes in nutritional content over time and compliance with the salt and sugar reduction programmes.

    Total number of breakfast cereals surveyed each year were n=119, n=126, n=138, and n=133, respectively, with 80 products consistently surveyed (matched) across all four years. Matched breakfast cereals (n=80) showed statistically significant reductions in median total sugars and salt content in 2023 compared to 2020: median (Interquartile Range) total sugars reduced from 22g/100g (15.6-25.9) in 2020 to 19.9g/100g (15.5-22.6) in 2023 (P<0.001), and median (IQR) salt reduced from 0.50g/100g (0.28-0.70) in 2020 to 0.43g/100g (0.24-0.65) in 2023, (P=0.037). No significant changes were observed in energy or fibre contents, (p>0.05). Despite the modest reductions, 81% of breakfast cereals (n=133) collected in 2023 continued to exceed the recommended sugar reduction guideline (12.3g/100g), while only 6% exceeded the maximum salt target (0.90g/100g). Additionally, around 40% of breakfast cereals cereals in 2023 contained a third (per 30g) of a 4-6-year-old’s maximum daily recommendation of free sugars (19 g/d). There were significant variations in sugar, fibre and salt content between and across different retailers and manufacturers (P<0.05).

    Our findings show modest yet ongoing reductions in sugar and salt content since 2020, demonstrating the potential feasibility of reformulating breakfast cereals. However, breakfast cereals with child-appealing packaging continue to be a major source of sugar in children’s diets. These findings demonstrate the urgent need for mandatory and comprehensive sugar reduction policies to effectively reduce children’s sugar consumption. Additionally, regulatory measures should be introduced to ensure companies use child-appealing tactics on their healthiest breakfast cereals to improve children’s food preferences, and diet. These steps are essential, building on the potential impact of the UK voluntary reduction programmes to improve children’s health and help reduce childhood obesity.

  • Panic disorder, characterised by sudden episodes of intense fear or anxiety, affects 1–4% of the population. Symptoms include rapid heartbeat, chest pain and fear of dying. Panic disorder often co-occurs with substance dependence and major depression. This review article examines pharmacological treatments, focusing on antidepressants and benzodiazepines, but also considering antipsychotics and anticonvulsants. It overviews the history of antidepressants and benzodiazepines in the treatment of panic disorder and their mechanisms of action. The results of a recent Cochrane Review network meta-analysis are then presented and contrasted with six current national and international treatment guidelines. Rankings of the various drugs in terms of efficacy, tolerability and safety are summarised, along with levels of evidence and lines of recommendation as a treatment option (first-, second or third-line, or reserved for treatment-resistant cases).

  • Background

    Functional impairment in daily activities, such as work and socializing, is part of the diagnostic criteria for major depressive disorder and most anxiety disorders. Despite evidence that symptom severity and functional impairment are partially distinct, functional impairment is often overlooked. To assess whether functional impairment captures diagnostically relevant genetic liability beyond that of symptoms, we aimed to estimate the heritability of, and genetic correlations between, key measures of current depression symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and functional impairment.

    Methods

    In 17,130 individuals with lifetime depression or anxiety from the Genetic Links to Anxiety and Depression (GLAD) Study, we analyzed total scores from the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (depression symptoms), Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (anxiety symptoms), and Work and Social Adjustment Scale (functional impairment). Genome-wide association analyses were performed with REGENIE. Heritability was estimated using GCTA-GREML and genetic correlations with bivariate-GREML.

    Results

    The phenotypic correlations were moderate across the three measures (Pearson’s r = 0.50–0.69). All three scales were found to be under low but significant genetic influence (single-nucleotide polymorphism-based heritability [h2SNP] = 0.11–0.19) with high genetic correlations between them (rg = 0.79–0.87).

    Conclusions

    Among individuals with lifetime depression or anxiety from the GLAD Study, the genetic variants that underlie symptom severity largely overlap with those influencing functional impairment. This suggests that self-reported functional impairment, while clinically relevant for diagnosis and treatment outcomes, does not reflect substantial additional genetic liability beyond that captured by symptom-based measures of depression or anxiety.

  • Summary

    The rapid development of international law post-World War II also coincided with greater reliance upon treaties as a source of international law. Treaties had always been recognised as a source of international law, and their status was confirmed in art 38 of the ICJ Statute. It was the development of the UN, with its emphasis upon international law and focus upon treaty-making as a means of not only peaceful resolution of disputes but also multilateral agreement between States on matters of common concern, that was the catalyst for a greater reliance upon treaties in the conduct of international relations. This chapter begins by examining the growth of treaty-making, before considering what a treaty is, including the nature of 'instruments of less than treaty status'. It then covers treaty negotiation, creation and entry into force; reservations, objections and declarations to treaties; and legal obligations arising once a treaty has entered into force. The chapter then turns to treaty interpretation, and then examines how treaties are voided or ended through invalidity, suspension or termination. The chapter concludes with a discussion of amendment and modification of treaties.

  • Summary

    Law-making is not a straightforward process in international law. This chapter focuses on the various law-making processes and structures available for creating international law. It first considers the traditional sources of international law as set out in art 38(1) of the Statute of the International Court of Justice generally and the concept of hierarchy of norms and relative norms before considering each of the art 38(1) sources in turn. The chapter concludes by considering alternative sources of international law not covered by art 38(1): 'soft law' including that created by non-State actors, and the role of the UN in creating international law.

  • Summary

    Human rights are commonly invoked by States and individuals alike. Most recently there has been a spate of cases with a State accusing another of acts of genocide. The Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (Genocide Convention) is the first human rights treaty which the General Assembly of the United Nations adopted in 1948. As an example, it gave South Africa the basis for accusing Israel of acts of genocide for their activities against Palestinians living in Gaza even though it had no immediate and direct interest in the situation. Since the Genocide Convention a host of other treaties have been adopted and ratified by States and the United Nations machinery for administering them is now complex and sophisticated, despite the traditional enforcement mechanisms that domestic lawyers are accustomed to having behind them.

  • Summary

    This chapter considers how resort to the use of force is addressed in the UN Charter, with particular reference to self-defence, including collective self-defence, and anticipatory self-defence. The contemporary right of self-defence is also assessed in light of the rise and influence of non-State actors. United Nations-sanctioned use of force is considered, with particular reference to the mechanisms that exist in Chapter VII of the UN Charter. The use of force by invitation, humanitarian intervention and the 'responsibility to protect' are also considered.
