Duringnearly two decades in the adrenaline-filled, egotistical and stressful world ofParliament, Mark Field had a remarkable capacity for getting into high-profilescrapes - most famously in his close friendship with future Prime Minister LizTruss, his role in David Cameron's Piggate scandal and his skirmish with protestersat Mansion House.Fromhis first foray into student politics at Oxford, where he got to know David Miliband,Jeremy Hunt, Michael Gove and Keir Starmer, to his years as a Foreign OfficeMinister alongside Boris Johnson and Rory Stewart, Mark casts an unsparing eyeover forty years of British political life. Crammed with vivid pen portraits ofsome of the most influential political figures of our age, this wry andincisive memoir also reflects candidly on the changes that have taken place inthe UK during Mark's lifetime.Recognisingthat his has been a golden generation that has benefited from a range ofopportunities now denied to younger Britons, Mark emphasises how ourunrealistic sense of exceptionalism risks holding us back from the urgent reformnow needed in so many of our institutions. Above all, he argues that post-Brexit,it is the Conservative Party's failure to ensure we take responsibility for ourown fate that has led to its rapid decline and fall.

Against the backdrop of disintegrative tendencies in the EU, where Brexit perhaps most profoundly captures the spirit of current developments in the EU, this book offers a detailed understanding of the key issues, challenges, and opportunities that educators across Europe and beyond encounter on a daily basis when teaching EU-related course content at higher education institutions. Written by a team of international academics and practitioners engaged with teaching, researching, and explaining European integration to successive generations of students, this edited collection showcases expert voices on the issues and developments central in the debate on how to teach the EU efficiently today. Using a wide variety of case studies, the chapters examine how novel approaches to teaching and learning, and especially technology-enhanced tools and methods, can lead to better teaching and learning outcomes in the Brexit age. A cutting-edge collection of insights from experts teaching and researching the EU, this book will serve as a timely resource for educators, researchers, administrators, and decision-makers.
