European Union and the EFTA Countries
This lucid and wide-ranging volume aims to provide a valuable context to understanding the process of enlargement of the EC. Whilst there are innumerable works on the origins and development of the EC in general and historical terms, this is the first volume to examine in a theoretical, analytical framework the origins and development of the European Economic Area, one of the most significant outcomes of EC expansion.
When Culture Becomes Politics
Taking the problem of European identity as his point of departure Thomas Pedersen's book offers a new theoretical perspective upon culture, identity and nationality. His main argument is that politics are more culturalized than we assume, and that culture is more personalized than we recognize. Nationality is becoming more personalized and hybrid and is acquiring an aesthetic dimension as a side-effect of the democratization of art. Citizens in the Western world and beyond are becoming symbol producers and culture producers, and far from simply taking their cue from custom, contemporary citizens therefore increasingly take an active part in the creation of national and supranational identities. This insight leads the author to develop a new individual understanding of politics summarized in the concept of integrism and to advocate a politics of liberal culturalism and integrist cosmopolitanism as an alternative to both post-modernism and Samuel Huntington's holistic, religious culturalism.
Germany, France, and the Integration of Europe
Analyzing the EU history-making reforms (1985 and 1991) from a realist point of view, this te×t focuses on the role of Germany and France, and develops a theory of co-operative hegemony and symmetrical federalization.
The European Community in World Politics
"Amidst continuing disarray within the European Community over internal policies, the idea of a coherent EC foreign policy appears an elusive ideal. The failure of its first significant foreign policy test, the war in Bosnia, highlights the extent of the problem." "The European Community in World Politics provides a timely assessment of the European Community's attempts not only to develop internal policy but more significantly its approach to external relations with the rest of Europe, the United States, Japan and the developing world." "Combining theoretical analysis on the nature of foreign policy formulation with extensive empirical research, this volume fills a gap in the literature and will be of great value to students and scholars alike."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
