Transformations in Trade Politics
This book examines the evolution and application of participatory trade politics in West Africa and discusses the theoretical implications for political economy and global governance approaches to trade policy-making. The author traces the involvement of a network of West African global justice Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO), local NGO and movement platforms, and trade unions in the negotiations for an Economic Partnership Agreement with the European Union. Building on this empirical analysis, she develops a theoretical framework of trade policy formation that is not limited to conceptualizing trade as a policy field aimed exclusively at regulating exporting and importing activities in...

Cocoa
Chocolate has long been a favorite indulgence. But behind every chocolate bar we unwrap, there is a world of power struggles and political maneuvering over its most important ingredient: cocoa. In this incisive book, Kristy Leissle reveals how cocoa, which brings pleasure and wealth to relatively few, depends upon an extensive global trade system that exploits the labor of five million growers, as well as countless other workers and vulnerable groups. The reality of this dramatic inequity, she explains, is often masked by the social, cultural, emotional, and economic values humans have placed upon cocoa from its earliest cultivation in Mesoamerica to the present day.

Forging Napoleon's Grande Arme
The men who fought in Napoleon’s Grande Armée built a new empire that changed the world. Remarkably, the same men raised arms during the French Revolution for liberté, égalité, and fraternité. In just over a decade, these freedom fighters, who had once struggled to overthrow tyrants, rallied to the side of a man who wanted to dominate Europe. What was behind this drastic change of heart? In this ground-breaking study, Michael J. Hughes shows how Napoleonic military culture shaped the motivation of Napoleon’s soldiers. Relying on extensive archival research and blending cultural and military history, Hughes demonstrates that the Napoleonic regime incorporated elements from both the Old Regime and French Revolutionary military culture to craft a new military culture, characterized by loyalty to both Napoleon and the preservation of French hegemony in Europe. Underscoring this new, hybrid military culture were five sources of motivation: honor, patriotism, a martial and virile masculinity, devotion to Napoleon, and coercion. Forging Napoleon's Grande Armée vividly illustrates how this many-pronged culture gave Napoleon’s soldiers reasons to fight.
Archéologie et environnement dans la Méditerranée antique
« En rassemblant des travaux présentés lors de deux colloques de la Société française d’archéologie classique consacrés aux « Paysages antiques », puis aux « Villes fluviales et maritimes », cet ouvrage illustre à quel point l’archéologie classique a été renouvelée par le dialogue avec les disciplines scientifiques engagées dans la démarche paléo-environnementale. La prise en charge des interactions sociétés/milieux ou des changements climatiques participe pleinement désormais de l’approche archéologique. Exploitation des territoires agricoles, utilisation des zones désertiques ou marécageuses, évolution des entités paysagères, création et développement des ports fluvio-maritimes, dynamique des confluences, des deltas et des rivages... Autant d’exemples de l’Orient à l’Occident du bassin méditerranéen, d’Éphèse ou Pétra à Pise ou Arles, des méthodes mises en place pour saisir les données et l’histoire du milieu et enrichir notre réflexion sur les anthroposystèmes de l’Antiquité. »--Quatrième de couverture.
