The River of Dead Trees
When Charles Wilson flees his dead-end life for Trempes, the first thing he finds is the body of his childhood friend, Paul Faber, hanging from a tree in the clearing where they played as boys. Obsessed with uncovering the story behind Faber's death, Wilson learns that truth and time aren't always what they appear to be, and he is soon caught up in a delusory spiral that threatens his very existence. At once a neo-Gothic metaphysical thriller and a meditative fairy tale, The River of Dead Trees charts a dizzying descent into the fragility of faith and of memory.

New Europe, New World?
The EU has long played a central role in promoting economic prosperity and political stability in Europe. With twenty-seven countries, it is a powerful trade negotiator and is seen by many as a growing force for global security and welfare. But does the EU giant have feet of clay? Is it recognized as a legitimate political and social project by its own citizens? How well does it respond to global challenges, such as environmental degradation and terrorism? How successful is it in projecting its image as a promoter of human rights, of conflict prevention, social justice, development cooperation, environmental protection and multilateralism? This volume contributes to the debate about the chan...
Meandering in Transition
This edited collection addresses the dynamics of the post-Communist transition in Central Eastern Europe.

External Perceptions of the European Union as a Global Actor
This book examines how the European Union (EU) is perceived beyond its borders in the US; the Middle East: Israel, Palestinian territories, Lebanon, Iran; Russia; China; India; Brazil and South Africa. The book also analyses the main perceptions of the EU in some key international institutions, including the World Bank; World Trade Organization, United Nations, African Union; and transnational actors, including non-Western media such as Al Jazeera. It seeks to provide a thorough analysis of the implications that these perceptions might have for the global role of the EU. By taking this approach and by providing both conceptual and empirical arguments, the volume provides an innovative perspective on the analysis of the EU as a global actor. It also strengthens a research agenda on the EU external image: an underdeveloped area of investigation in which the editors and the main contributors to this volume have played a pioneering role in the past few years. It will be of strong interest to academics and students of international politics, European studies and development studies.
