Kata siapa mengabdi di perbatasan atau daerah pedalaman itu ‘akan menderita’? atau terasa ‘terisolasi?’ Ternyata ditengah keterbatasan sarana dan prasarana yang ada, kami sangat menikmati mengabdi di daerah ini, ada kebahagiaan tersendiri dapat bercengkrama dan saling belajar dengan masyarakat setempat yang berasal dari berbagai tingkatan sosial. Ditambah lagi dengan sikap masyarakat setempat yang menerima hasil kerjasama kami dan diakhiri dengan pemandangan pelukan, isak-tangis seolah tak rela berpisah dan melepas kepergian kami untuk kembali ke Jakarta ternyata telah membekaskan memori yang indah, melupakan segala permasalahan, perselisihan dan rintangan yang ...

The inauguration of the Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM) in Bangkok in 1996 was celebrated with enthusiasm and hopes in the two regions because this forum represented a breakthrough in Asia-Europe relations. The region-to-region pattern of the relations becomes the study framework that enables the explorations of central themes which include the Asian regional identity, ASEAN collective diplomatic prominence, and the informality of the ASEM institution. In exploring those central themes, this book applies constructivist, realist, and neo-liberal institutional theories consecutively. The difference between Asian and European cooperative culture, as well as the longevity of an international institution, adds to the picture. This book contributes not only to the study of Asia-Europe relations but also to the understanding of regionalism in Asia.

They say there was or there wasn't in olden times a story as old as life, as young as this moment, a story that is yours and is mine. Once in a Promised Land is the story of Jassim and Salwa, who left the deserts of their native Jordan for those of Arizona, each chasing mirages of opportunity and freedom. Although the couple live far from Ground Zero, they cannot escape the dust cloud of paranoia settling over the nation. A hydrologist, Jassim believes passionately in his mission to make water accessible to all people, but his work is threatened by an FBI witch hunt for domestic terrorists. A Palestinian now twice displaced, Salwa embraces the American dream. She grapples to put down roots in an unwelcoming climate, becoming pregnant against her husband's wishes. When Jassim kills a teenage boy in a terrible accident and Salwa becomes hopelessly entangled with a shadowy young American, their tenuous lives in exile and their fragile marriage begin to unravel. Once in a Promised Land is a dramatic and achingly honest look at what it means to straddle cultures, to be viewed with suspicion, and to struggle to find safe haven.
