DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe integration of the Eurasian Economic Union has been under constant development as officials try to successfully implement new economic policies within its various regions. Introducing a new policy such as this creates the formation of new markets, the improvement of cooperation initiatives, as well as a new legislative base and supplementations. These continual alterations require updated analysis and research for political leaders to follow regarding provincial incorporation methods. Regional Integration and Future Cooperation Initiatives in the Eurasian Economic Union is an essential reference source that discusses the conceptual and empirical frameworks of the current phase of Eurasian integration as well as its economic impact. Featuring research on topics such as multilateral cooperation, free trade, and international views, this book is ideally designed for politicians, economists, strategists, public relations specialists, research scholars, policymakers, students, and academicians seeking coverage on regional integration issues in modern Eurasia.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book explores the transformation of the American-led alliances, as well as of US allies’ responses to potential American disengagement from regional security amid the rising Russian and Chinese threats. The post-Cold War international order has led to three challenges for the West. The first challenge was the ending of the Cold War, which had served as the fundamental rationale of the US-centred alliance systems in both Europe and Asia. The second challenge was that while the fear of US disengagement in the post-Cold War era was initially about its political willingness, the relative decline of the US has gradually turned the question into that of capability. And the third challenge is that for the first time since very long, a war in which one of the great (nuclear) powers is involved takes place on European territory. In Europe, the immediate consequence of the war has been a strengthening of NATO. In Asia and the Indo-Pacific, regional reactions to the war have been much more muted, for the division between “friends and foes” remains less clear-cut than in Europe. The chapters in this volume bridge the dynamics in the European and Asian theatres and provide a comparative framework for examining security alignments amid the shifting strategic context of the Indo-Pacific. With 4 new chapters and a revised Introduction, this book will be of great interest to students and researchers of Politics and International Relations, Asian and European studies. The other chapters were originally published in Asian Affairs.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKGlobal Connections and Monetary History, 1470-1800 explores international flows of metals and monies, especially silver, from the mid-15th century to 1800, with a secondary emphasis on the impact of economic and technological factors on mining output. Included are specific studies on European trade via the Cape of Good Hope (including first-time estimates of aggregate trade figures for this route), Spanish American precious metal production during the 18th century, the Ottoman role in global silver trade routes for import of silver into India, Japanese silver exports to China and India, and ending with a study on China, the world's dominant end user of silver throughout the early modern period. This volume compiles revised versions of papers first presented at the 12th International Economic History Conference in 1998 and adds the major study by Jan de Vries on the volume of commerce via the Cape Route. These studies constitute a major step forward in understanding global - as opposed to national - connections throughout the early modern world.
