Europe’s Evolving Role in US Grand Strategy
This book looks at the evolution of the role of Europe in US grand strategy, and unpacks how US administrations have instrumentalized this relationship in pursuit of extra-European objectives. The work considers geopolitical pressures in conjunction with leaders’ strategic ideas to provide an account of the evolution of the role of Europe in the context of US grand strategy. Observers generally agree on the vague notion that Europe has been de-prioritized in Washington’s external affairs. Against this background, the book makes the case that such de-prioritization of Europe in the context of US grand strategy also entails a reconceptualization of the transatlantic relationship, namely as...

The EU under Strain?
When EU member states signed the Treaty of Lisbon in 2007, they did not anticipate the manifold crises in store for them over the following years. Instead of the intended consolidation of a Union which had just gone through its most profound modernisation and biggest round of enlargements, the EU has since then had to weather a wide range of political, economic, social, legal, health and even military crises with major repercussions within and beyond its own territory. Indeed, this time of polycrisis has induced change on many levels: Across the continent and its many fora of European supra-, trans- and international collaboration, established institutions, rule systems and normative framewo...
American Foreign Policy
World affairs are constantly in flux, so students need to be prepared not just to know what’s happening in the headlines but how to make sense of those events. Hastedt’s American Foreign Policy helps students develop the critical thinking skills needed to participate in debates about foreign relations—today and throughout their lives. Rather than focus on normative questions about what direction the country should take on the world stage, this text is designed to provide the historical and institutional context for the foreign policy process, from the governmental and civil society actors involved to the issues that comprise the conduct and content of American foreign policy. This thir...
In het licht van de zon
Hartstocht en romantiek onder de zomerzon… (1) ZOMERSE VERLEIDING Natúúrlijk wist Eden dat het een uitdaging zou zijn om een zomerkamp voor meisjes te leiden – alleen al omdat ze nog nooit heeft hoeven werken. Maar dat de schatjes haar letterlijk de boom in zouden krijgen? Wanneer ze eruit valt, belandt ze ook nog eens in de armen van kweker Chase Elliot. Niet eerder heeft iemand zo snel zulke sterke emoties bij haar opgeroepen. Of zulke verwarrende. Want sinds ze samen met haar erfenis ook haar verloofde kwijtraakte, vertrouwt ze mannen niet meer… (2) BLOEMENEILAND Als Laine naar het mooie Hawaïaanse Kauai reist om haar vader te bezoeken, die ze in geen jaren heeft gezien, ontmoet ze zijn jongere zakenpartner, Dillon O'Brian. Tot haar verbijstering denkt hij dat ze op haar vaders geld uit is. Waar haalt hij de onbeschaamdheid vandaan haar zoiets te verwijten? Afkeer van hem zou een logische reactie zijn, maar tot haar frustratie wekt deze knappe, arrogante man een verlangen in haar dat bij elke aanvaring heviger wordt… Deze verhalen zijn eerder verschenen.
Europe Today
A fifth edition of this book is now available. This elegantly written and comprehensive book is the only text that combines a unified set of both country case studies with sustained analysis of the European Union. The contributors, an authoritative group of Americans and Europeans, explore the new Europe—west and east—using intertwining themes of domestic politics, European integration, and European security.

Cosmopolitan in outlook, realistic in analysis, this unique text will lead readers toward a coherent view of Europe today.
International Handbook on Informal Governance
ÔThis volume provides a welcome overview of the diverse ways in which informal practices and norms shape policy in national states, the European Union, and international relations. The wide range of cases that feature in the volume point to the normative and substantive importance of informality. This volume is a valuable contribution to a fascinating and under-researched topic.Õ Ð Gary Marks, University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, US and VU Amsterdam, The Netherlands Acknowledging that governance relies not only on formal rules and institutions but to a significant degree also on informal practices and arrangements, this unique Handbook examines and analyses a wide variety of theoreti...
"The Great Ocean of Knowledge"
This book explores the way in which, working within the investigative tradition associated with the Royal Society, the philosopher John Locke (1632-1704) used travellers' reports to develop a form of comparative social anthropology which was to inform his major philosophical works.
