Summary:

This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2015. This inter-disciplinary volume is centred upon the complex and ever-changing issues entailed by fears and anxieties in contemporary Europe and, thence, the whole world. Indeed, the fate of Europe mirrors the fate of the world itself: events are no longer localized, but, as soon as they have occurred, they have become part and parcel of our experience as a genuinely cosmopolitan species. Some of these fears and anxtieties are nurtured by real events, whilst others are rooted in imaginary phenomena. The experts who have contributed to this exciting work come from different fields of study (from history to economics and from anthropology to linguistics), yet what they have in common is a genuine commitment to the integrity of inter-disciplinary research, which teaches mutual respect and scientific curiosity.
