TOWARDS A REPUBLICAN PARADIGM OF EUROPEAN INTEGRATION

Edited by

Stefan Collignon

The Governance of European Public Goods “This scholarly, but highly readable book demonstrates that we pay insufficient attention to Happiness. This book will provide professionals and the general public, on one hand with serious insights into such an important topic, but on the other hand offers a great antidote to the gloom and doom that seems to be all around us.” —Professor Kevin Gournay, CBE, Kings College London, UK “This book takes readers to a journey of happiness starting from 1938 to the present time. Read this book—and learn to find happiness in your own life.” —Professor Samuel M.Y. Ho, City University of Hong Kong “In 1938 the social investigative organisation, Mass Observation, asked the people of Bolton ‘What makes you happy’. Nearly 80 years later Boltonians were again asked this question. Using the results of both surveys, this excellent collection of essays explains what changed between these years and what has stayed the same. It will be welcomed by scholars across disciplines as an expert intervention in the ongoing happiness debate and as an enlightening account of life in Mass Observation’s ‘Worktown’.” —Professor Claire Langhamer, University of Sussex, UK “A community study of happiness is long overdue, and equally rare, a study with an eye to its historical unfolding. This fine work by McHugh and her colleagues helps close this gap.” —Professor Robert A. Stebbins, FRSC, University of Calgary, Canada
