Wounds of Past
Wounds of the past by Aditi Shukla People often say time heals all wounds. However, there are wounds that are beyond the relativeness of time and space. Wounds that still bleed and throb. They hide in plain sight and slowly creep at night, in memories, in nightmares. Have you ever seen a fleeting shadow, heard sobbing at night, felt a cold stare from behind the curtains? The human mind compels us to discard them as hallucinations, but what if they are real? With the contribution of 50 talented co-authors, we present to you "Wounds of the Past". This anthology gives us a chance to explore the dark and supernatural corners of the world, hidden and shunned by the society. Come along to read what hides in the dark...
The Balkans
From a historical and current perspective.
Ukrainian Foreign and Security Policy
A key country for stability and security in Europe, Ukraine is struggling to create consistent foreign and security policies. Political alliances, identity struggles, economic goals, and geopolitical position all pull this newly emergent state in different and often conflicting directions. Due to its dependencies on both the West and Russia, Ukraine's foreign policy is in a state of flux.

European Security in a Global Context
This new edited volume examines contemporary European security from three different standpoints. It explores security dynamics, first, within Europe; second, the interaction patterns between Europe and other parts of the world (the United States, Africa, the Middle East, China and India); and, finally, the external perceptions of European security. The first part of the book analyses the European security landscape. The roles of EU, NATO and the OSCE are given particular attention, as is the impact of their evolution- or enlargement- on the European security architecture and European security dynamics. In this context, Russia’s repositioning as a major power appears as a shaping factor of contemporary European geopolitics. The second part presents European security from an external perspective and considers interactions between Europe and other states or regions. Security trends and actors in Europe are examined from an American, Chinese, and Indian perspective, while Europe--Africa and Europe--Middle East relations are also addressed. This book will be of great interest to students of European Security, European politics and IR in general.
