GIOVANNI GIOLITTI (1900-1914) The elections of June 1900 marked the defeat of the Pelloux government and of attempts to impose illiberal laws. The following month King Umberto I was assassinated by an Italian anarchist, Gaetano Bresci, who had returned from the United States to “avenge” the victims of the 1898 repression.

RELIGION AND MYTHOLOGY OF THE CELTS In this essay I have chosen to discuss the religion and mythology of the Celts. However, on first approaching the subject, one could be forgiven a slight feeling of trepidation on reading the introductory remarks of the scholars. For example, Barry Cunliffe in ‘The Ancient Celts’, quoting the Irish scholar Proinsias MacCana, refers to the “fertile chaos of the insular tradition” ( my italics) (1). Dillon and Chadwick in ‘The Celtic Realms’ describe

an epistolary novel named The Literary and potato peel pie society. It’s about the world of book, writing, around the history of the members of a book club (the LPPPS) created during the word war two and relates the conditions of life imposed by the German occupation. In the first part we will talk about the characters and in the second part we will talk about the setting, time and historic context.

Since the first week of February, when Peter, William and I, made the press review the situation was already deteriorated in Libya. In the first article, which comes from the newspaper "Telegraph" we saw that The Middle East is in a difficult situation. After the revolution of Tunisia and Egypt which had an impact on neighbors’ countries during the last two months, Lybia followed the same way and wants a real transformation. The country is governed by Mr kadhafi and by the same gouvernment for 42

European Soft Power a contradiction in terms of neo-realism? In this paper I will explore the significance of Soft Power in International Relations. I will then focus on Soft Power as the source of emerging security and defence policy of the EU by questioning whether this kind of Soft Power is a contradiction in terms of Neo-Realism theory. Since the end of the Cold War, the EU decided to abandon the anarchic Hobbesian world focusing on Kant’s sphere of perpetual peace. The quest for eternal peace
