Eurojargon by Anne Ramsay (Hardcover - Subsequent)

Eurojargon explains the meaning of more than 3,000 acronyms, abbreviations and sobriquets used across the European Union to identify European projects, schemes, and agencies (often used to avoid the problem of translation): many have crept into everyday use over recent years and have become almost a language in themselves. Eurojargon is an attempt to bring together those used within the context of the EU.

Some have been included that are from a wider context that that of the EU, such as European associations and organizations recognized by the EU. Addresses are given where appropriate. Uniquely, references to official texts are cited in brackets after the description. The alphabetical listing follows the principle of "letter by letter". Any descriptive text in capital letters indicates that there is an entry under that heading in the alphabetical sequence. The sixth edition of Eurojargon contains a large number of additional entries as well as updated information on those includedin earlier editions.

Eurojargon is aimed at a wide range of user-specialist consultants in EU information, academics and students, information specialists, economists and, politicians.

European Integration by L.A. Winters (Paperback - Reprint)
Much recent research has been devoted to the consequences of the completion of the internal market in 1992. Existing estimates of the effects of market integration remain very preliminary, however, and many important issues have yet to be adequately addressed. These formed the subject of a conference on The Impact of 1992 on European Trade and Industry held by the Centre for Economic Policy Research. This book reports the proceedings of that conference. The contributors to the volume address such issues as the gains to be expected from both internal and external economies of scale following integration, and the implications of 1992 for the Community's trade with both its traditional EFTA partners, the potentially valuable new East European markets, and the rest of the world. The volume also contains papers considering the effects of the completion of the internal market on the design of appropriate technology and taxation policies and a study of the role of Japanese foreign direct investment in European manufacturing.

NATO and European Security by Alexander Moens (Hardcover - Praeger Pub Text)
From the end of the Cold War to the terrorist attacks on the United States in September 2001, the NATO Alliance has changed profoundly. This book explores the multifaceted consequences of NATO's adjustment to new international and domestic political and security realities. Internal Alliance politics and matters of relative power within the membership have strongly influenced recent NATO developments. Several major issues challenging the Alliance are examined, including how the impact of efforts to develop an enhanced common European security and defense policy have affected NATO: whether missile defense is driving the United States and its European allies closer or further apart; how the experience of NATO in the Balkans and elsewhere brought alliance members together or made MATO cohesion more difficult to maintain; and in what way the changing role of NATO has influenced American and Canadian participation in the Alliance. An important guidepost to pivotal changes and likely NATO developments, scholars and policymakers of Atlantic and international politics will find these meditations indispensable.

Globalizing Practices and University Responses by Jan Currie (Hardcover - Praeger Pub Text)
Investigates the impact that certain globalizing practices have on European and American universities. Due to dwindling resources and the ideology of privatization, universities are becoming more corporatized and managerial. The authors investigate the consequences of these changes on the lives of academics and analyze how globalizing practices such as managerialism, accountability, and employment flexibility penetrate different universities.

The European Rescue of the Nation-State by Alan S. Milward (Hardcover - Subsequent)

The European Rescue of the Nation-State is the classic economic and political account of the origins of the European Community. Based on extensive primary research in several countries, it is both an original analysis of the forces which brought the EC together and an exploration of the future relationship between the nation-state and the European Union. Newly revised and updated to account for recent developments, this book offers a challenging interpretation of the history of the western European state and European integration.

Mass Media And Political Communication in New Democracies by Katrin Voltmer (Hardcover - Routledge)

Using a comparative approach, this book examines how political communication and the mass media have played an important role in the consolidation of democratic institutions. Covering a broad range of political and cultural contexts, including Eastern Europe, Latin America, Asia and Africa, the authors evaluate the assumptions as to how different contexts and pathways to democracy may alter the role of the media and the way in which they are employed by political actors.

Each Cast study explores:

· How each of the participants in political communication adapts to the new political environment
· How conflicting norms and interests shape the political discourse in new democracies
· The way in which the audience interprets and is vulnerable to political messages
· The role of the Internet

This book will be of interest to those studying and researching democracy, comparative politics, political communication, journalism, media and the internet.

Soft Security Threats And European Security by Graeme P. Herd (Hardcover - Routledge)

Is the concept of 'soft security' useful to analysts and policy-makers? Will they be able to manage these sources of insecurity successfully in the future? This work provides likely trends and projections to resolve these pressing questions.

This book explores the nature of 'soft security' threats in Europe and Eurasia. It draws together experts from around the world to provide an in depth analysis of the various aspects of trafficking. From illegal migrants, to the black market weapons trade, sex trafficking and drugs. It considers the nature of the threat they pose to society and the effectiveness of national and international attempts to eradicate it. EU response to 'soft security' and a case study of US Homeland Security are particularly illuminating.

Transforming the European Nation-State by Kjell Goldmann (Hardcover - Illustrated)
This book introduces and maps the complex interaction between internationalization, nation-state and democracy to provide a new basis for understanding political change in contemporary Europe. The book: introduces the concept of internationalization, considers how it relates to its near-synonoym globalization, and explains the dynamics of the internationalization process; assesses the impact and implications for nation-states, national identities and political cultures; and addresses the problem of making internationalized democracy work at national and European levels. Throughout the text theoretical ideas and concepts are accessibly introduced and illustrated with a wide range of empirical examples from across Europe.

The European Union, Mercosul and the New World Order by Helio Jaguaribe (Hardcover - Frank Cass & Co

This volume, to which various prominent European and Latin American scholars have contributed, provides critical insight into the politics and economics of relations between the EU and Latin America, particularly Mercosul, and on the significance of such relations for multilateralism and the international order.
The events of 11 September shed new light on the analyses provided, and give even more credence to the point made in many chapters regarding the serious obstacles to the creation of an international order firmly based on universally accepted norms and rules in which regional groupings would play a greater role. The book provides a timely reminder of just how important less politically visible but consistent efforts at multilaterally focused regional integration projects can be to counteracting the force of unilateral action and zero-sum power politics.

The European Community And the Crises Of The 1960's by N. Piers Ludlow (Hardcover - Routledge)

The book is a detailed study of the European Community's development between 1963 and 1969. The Leitmotiv of the period was the struggle between France and its EC partners over the purpose, structure and membership of the emerging European Community.

On all three, French President Charles de Gaulle held divergent views from those of his fellow leaders. The six years in question were hence marked by a succession of confrontations over what the Community did, the way in which it functioned, and the question of whether new members (notably Britain) should be allowed to enter. Despite these multiple crises, however, the six founding members continued to press on with their joint experiment, demonstrating a surprisingly firm commitment to cooperation with each other. The period thus highlights both the strengths and the weaknesses of the early Community and highlights the origins of many of the structures and procedures that have survived until the current day.

News Media And Power in Russia by Olessia Koltsova (Hardcover - Routledge)

This book explores "news production" in Russia, examining the various agents who "make" the news, and discussing the fierce struggle among the various agents of power involved, including news producers themselves. Drawing on existing theories and scholarship, the book provides a wealth of detail on the actual daily practices of news production in Russia, arguing that power relations in news making are not just external intrusions into the pure process of the reflection of reality, but showing how the interaction of variously motivated agents is an intrinsic part of the news production process. The book will be important for students of media studies, and for students of the politics of Russia, for whom the question of how far politicians continue to control the media in the post-communist era, as in the communist era, is a crucial issue.

Britain's Failure to Enter the European Community 1961-63 by George Wilkes (Hardcover - Frank Cass &

Recently-released archival material has given historians the opportunity to re-examine the impact of the initial British application to join the European Community on the development of the EC, and on the role of Britain and its European neighbours in broader world politics. The dramatic end to the British application was a devastating blow to many Europeans and Americans who hoped that the EC would be strengthened by the inclusion of the UK.

The essays collected here outline a number of factors which made the EC too young to be able to assimilate Britain's important interests, and the British over-optimistic in their approach to negotiations with the Community. The role of conflict over Western strategy and European political union in the breakdown of the negotiations is re-assessed, and the negotiations over agriculture and the Commonwealth are revealed in an entirely new light.
