A Certain Idea of Europe
The quasi-federal European Union stands out as the major exception in the thinly institutionalized world of international politics. Something has led Europeans—and only Europeans—beyond the nation-state to a fundamentally new political architecture. Craig Parsons argues in A Certain Idea of Europe that this "something" was a particular set of ideas generated in Western Europe after the Second World War. In Parsons's view, today's European Union reflects the ideological (and perhaps visionary) project of an elite minority. His book traces the progressive victory of this project in France, where the battle over European institutions erupted most divisively. Drawing on archival research and...
Hegemony and Culture in the Origins of NATO Nuclear First-Use, 1945–1955
Johnston argues that the preemptive first-use of nuclear weapons, long the foundation of American nuclear strategy, was not the carefully reasoned response to a growing Soviet conventional threat. Instead, it was part of a process of cultural 'socialization', by which the United States reconstituted the previously nationalist strategic cultures of the European allies into a seamless western community directed by Washington. Building a bridge between theory and practice, this book examines the usefulness of cultural theory in international history.
Cell Line Development
Mammalian cell lines command an effective monopoly for the production of therapeutic proteins that require post-translational modifications. This unique advantage outweighs the costs associated with mammalian cell culture, which are far grater in terms of development time and manufacturing when compared to microbial culture. The development of cell lines has undergone several advances over the years, essentially to meet the requirement to cut the time and costs associated with using such a complex hosts as production platforms. This book provides a comprehensive guide to the methodology involved in the development of cell lines and the cell engineering approach that can be employed to enhanc...

This collection of essays, unlike other books on this subject, emphasizes strategic, technological, and economic factors. It includes contributions from a combination of academics and governmental experts from both the United States and India. Nuclear India in the Twenty-First Century provides an important picture of India's nuclear intentions and capabilities and should facilitate policies that the US may consider in response to regional and global proliferation.
Militaires en République, 1870-1962
Du maréchal de MacMahon au général de Gaulle, militaires et hommes politiques entretiennent des relations dominées par une mutuelle incompréhension et une large suspicion. Les premiers accusent les politiques de diviser les Français en professionnels de la chicane, quand les seconds suspectent nombre d'officiers de rêver au renversement de la République. Ce livre dépasse les stéréotypes habituels. En une cinquantaine de contributions, il étudie toutes les formes de participation des officiers au pouvoir et à la vie publique, de rétablissement de la Troisième République aux débuts de la Cinquième, de la fin de la guerre de 1870-1871 à la conclusion du conflit algérien. Le ...
Les crises internationales de Pékin (1900) à Bagdad (2004)
Après avoir donné la définition d'une crise internationale et expliqué le phénomène et ses mécanismes, Jean-Louis Dufour passe en revue 49 crises internationales qui ont marqué le XXe siècle.
The Future of the Euro
The Future of the Euro is an attempt by political economists to scrutinize the fundamental causes of the euro crisis, determine how it could be fixed, and consider its possible futures. The book makes three interrelated arguments about the euro's problem, experience, and future that stress the primacy of political over economic factors.
2005
Annually published since 1930, the International Bibliography of Historical Sciences (IBOHS) is an international bibliography of the most important historical monographs and periodical articles published throughout the world, which deal with history from the earliest to the most recent times. The IBOHS is thus currently the only continuous bibliography of its kind covering such a broad period of time, spectrum of subjects and geographical range. The works are arranged systematically according to period, region or historical discipline, and alphabetically according to authors names or, in the case of anonymous works, by the characteristic main title word. The bibliography contains a geographical index and indexes of persons and authors.
