During the chaos of the eurozone crisis, few mainstream commentators have stopped to question the purpose of the European Union itself, and whose interests it serves. Corporate Europe goes beyond the divisions between nation-states, focusing instead on the division between the corporate elite and the peoples of Europe. David Cronin spent a year investigating the privileged access that big business enjoys in Brussels. In this book, he reveals how the EU's policies on health, climate change, armaments and food safety have been tailored to please an unaccountable elite. Making extensive use of previously unpublished documents, he explores how ideologically blinkered lobbyists have seized on the financial crisis of recent years to entrench the casino capitalism that caused the crisis in the first place. What emerges is a powerful exposé of how vested interests in the EU have manipulated opportunities to introduce ideologically-driven reforms.

The book critically examines the European Union's portrayal of itself as a neutral mediator in the Middle East, contrasting it with the reality of its complicity in Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories. Journalist David Cronin highlights the EU's recent agreements that effectively elevate Israel's status within the Union, while failing to promote accountability for actions like prisoner mistreatment and military aggression. Cronin concludes with a call for intensified international activism to challenge the EU's complicity in these issues.

'His Majesty's government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object...' This is the opening sentence of the Balfour Declaration, written by the British Foreign Secretary Arthur James Balfour in 1917. Its impact on history has been immense and still emanates one hundred years later, starting what has been referred to as a hundred years of war against the Palestinian people. For this controversial, fast-paced history, David Cronin traces the story of the rhetorical and practical assistance that Britain has given to the Zionist movement and the state of Israel since 1917. Focusing on important historical events such as the Arab Revolt, the Nakba and establishment of the state, the 56 and 67 wars, the Cold War and the Oslo period, as well as controversial figures such as Tony Blair, this book provides a fascinating take on this much-maligned, important history.

Evropská unie se v pečlivě připravených oficiálních prohlášeních prezentuje jako čestný zprostředkovatel na Blízkém východě. Ve skutečnosti se však vlády 27 členských států EU dlouhodobě snaží vyjít vstříc Izraeli, který okupuje palestinská území. Novinář David Cronin se zabývá tímto vztahem a jeho výsledky. Nedávná dohoda o intenzivnější, plodnější a vlivnější spolupráci mezi EU a Izraelem znamená, že se Izrael stal neformálním členským státem Unie. Cronin ukazuje, že namísto toho, aby EU využila tento vztah k podpoře izraelské zdrženlivosti, legitimizovala akce, jako je špatné zacházení s vězni a invaze do Gazy. V závěru svého odhalujícího a šokujícího vyprávění Cronin vyzývá k pokračování a prohloubení mezinárodního aktivismu a protestů, aby se zastavilo upadání EU do spoluviny.
