  • Il-politika hija dak il-proċess li jfassal ideat u toroq li bihom u fuqhom jitwettqu żviluppi tajbin, inqas tajbin jew ħżiena fis-setturi diversi tal-ħajja ta’ kuljum. Kull fejn hemm tmexxija, hemm politika li tista’ tissarraf kemm fi tmexxija u riżultati tajbin, kif ukoll fi tmexxija ħażina. Jien li ġej mill-qasam mediku, imma għaddejt 45 sena minn ħajti fil-qasam politiku, stajt nirrelata ma’ u napprezza l-livell għoli tal-materjal li hawn f’din il-pubblikazzjoni. F’dawn il-kontribuzzjonijiet sibt faċċati li jittrattaw bil-miftuħ dawk l-isfidi u problemi etiċi, morali u politiċi li jien stess iffaċċjajt matul dawk is-snin u li ħsibt mhux ftit fuqhom matul il karriera twila tiegħi fil-politika. L-Eċċellenza Tiegħu t-Tabib George Vella President ta’ Malta   Dan ix-xogħol jistħoqqlu tifħir, tal-anqas, għal żewġ raġunijiet ewlenin. Raġuni waħda hija l-interdixxiplinarità tiegħu. Kelma twila u tqila li tfisser li l-materjal u s-suġġetti f’dan il-ktieb mhumiex mgħarbula u skjerati minn lenti dejqa ta’ dixxiplina partikulari. It-tieni raġuni hija l-ilsien Malti li bih issawru l-kapitli ta’ dan il-ktieb. Bl-interdixxiplinarità tiegħu, u miktub kif inhu bil-Malti, dan il-ktieb huwa xempju tal-qrubija bejn l-akkademja, l-ekonomija u s-soċjetà Maltija; xhieda ta’ kif u kemm l-Università kapaċi wkoll tersaq qrib in-nies. Il-Professur Godfrey Baldacchino, Soċjologu   Nilqa’ lill-qarrejja kollha ta’ dawn is-saġġi fuq aspetti varji tal-politika mogħtija minn għadd sabiħ ta’ akkademiċi u prattikanti li wara li wasslu l-kontenut, l-argumenti u l-analiżi riċerkati tagħhom lis-semmiegħa, ikkollaboraw biex il-programmi jinqalbu fi ktieb. Bħala produttur u preżentatur fuq Campus FM, l-awtur ta’ din il-pubblikazzjoni għamel biċċa xogħol fejjieda biex l-għerf imberraħ minn wara l-mikrofonu jsib postu mitbugħ f’dan il-volum denju. Dott. Charles Xuereb, Chairperson tal-Bord Editorjali tar-Radju tal-Università   Dwar l-awtur Dott. Mario Thomas Vassallo huwa l-Kap tad-Dipartiment tal-Politika Pubblika fl-Università ta' Malta fejn jgħallem l-amministrazzjoni pubblika, ir-riċerka xjentifika u l-governanza, fost oħrajn.

Malta and the European Capital of Culture is a collection of papers that interrogate the state of culture in the Mediterranean Island of Malta, which in 2018 will also be the designated European Capital of Culture.

    Are you hungry? This book offers a sweet kiss to those who are hungry for increased awareness. It is a journey into the mind; a stimulus unlocking humans' limitless nature. The reader is provided with food for thought involving the social construction of ideas. Focus is made on creating awareness of the dangerous nature of absolutes which can  debilitate humans from being open to experience and to new ways of thinking. The author aims to illustrate numerous ways in which loss of awareness debilitates psychological  growth while considering the technological age in which people are living. This illustration is made through the help of scientific theories, also including philosophical ideas. The author amalgamates various ideas on how to break the limits previously demonstrated by providing practical solutions. The society viewed as mechanised is supplied with further understanding of emotions and the need of increased emotional intelligence, resilience and meaning ... a kiss that you will never forget!
