Liverpool
A narrative nonfictional account of the unique city of Liverpool written by a flaneur rather than a historian, with special emphasis on the long-suppressed influence of black culture Scousers believe they live in a special place, one that has more in common with Salvador da Bahia, New Orleans, or Gdansk than anywhere in England, and the city has always punched above its weight. In less than 100 years, however, Liverpool's image has declined from a major mercantile player known as the Second City of the Empire to what some social commentators have described as a cultural backwater remembered largely as the place where the Beatles were born.

Although there is a tendency to view the Balkans as peripheral, this book argues that South East European states are central to what the EU is and aspires to become, and goes to the heart of many of the key issues confronting the EU. It compares changing modes of governance in the three policy areas selected because they are contentious issues in domestic po...
