DOWNLOAD EBOOKCombining classic international economics with straight-from-the- headlines immediacy, Feenstra and Taylor’s text seamlessly integrates the subject’s established core content with topic areas and ideas that have emerged from recent empirical studies. A MODERN APPROACH FOR THE 21ST CENTURY International economics texts traditionally place greater emphasis on theory and a strong focus on the advanced countries. Feenstra/Taylor links theory to empirical evidence throughout the book, and incorporates coverage of emerging markets and developing economies (India, China, SE Asia) to reflect the evolving realities of the global economy. The new edition has been extensively revised and updated, especially in light of the ongoing world financial crisis.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis work invites readers in law, as well as those in political science, international relations, and similar disciplines to witness the fast growing emergence of a "new legal order": the law of the European Union (EU) and European Communities. Ever since its early founding through daring steps in the 1950s, Community law has gone through formidable and complex developments resulting from several enlargements and the expansion of the powers of the Communities. For reasons laid out in this book, the EU as a whole is now a field of major interest and study. This volume deals mostly with issues pertaining to the sovereignty of the member states engaged in the construction of Europe. After presenting a history of the Communities and EU, Levasseur and Scott address topics such as the EU's constitutional principles, its institutions, the sources of law, the legal remedies available, and the relationship between Community law and national legal orders. Comparative law references have been added where appropriate. In addition, this work examines the EU's defense policies and the special relations between the EU and the USA. "We certainly find in [the book] all the qualities of an excellent casebook, where the goal of providing a mass of information does not give way to the goal of stimulating classroom discussion; the goal is always to prefer thought over a mere dogmatic exposition and that, in itself, should earn this book a very large audience, even outside strictly academic circles." -- Xavier Blanc-Jouvan, American Journal of Comparative Law, 2002 "The Levasseur work...does the far superior job of conveying the constitutional and institutional structure of the European Union and the very complex jurisdiction of the courts... What the Levasseur book lacks in quantity, it makes up for in quality. The Levasseur book is absolutely the better suited to a three-hour (one semester) course or to independent study by practitioners in the field. This much more understandable work uses a European approach to a European subject, while still including an appropriate number of cases as part of the overall presentation." -- On Studying European Law, A Comparative Review of the Two Leading Books, The Tulane European and Civil Law Forum, 2003

DOWNLOAD EBOOKPositioned on the fault line between two competing Cold War ideological and military alliances, and entangled in ethnic, cultural and religious diversity, the Balkan region offers a particularly interesting case for the study of the global Cold War system. This book explores the origins, unfolding and impact of the Cold War on the Balkans on the one hand, and the importance of regional realities and pressures on the other. Fifteen contributors from history, international relations, and political science address a series of complex issues rarely covered in one volume, namely the Balkans and the creation of the Cold War order; Military alliances and the Balkans; uneasy relations with the Superpowers; Balkan dilemmas in the 1970s and 1980s and the ‘significant other’ – the EEC; and identity, culture and ideology. The book’s particular contribution to the scholarship of the Cold War is that it draws on extensive multi-archival research of both regional and American, ex-Soviet and Western European archives.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book explores the post-war Greco-German relationship and asks how this relationship fits into, and changes, the narrative of European integration. The book highlights West Germany’s role in shaping Greece’s development model and argues that Greece's accession to the Community in 1981 had a long back story in the modernization strategies adopted by the two countries as early as the 1950s. The success, not the failure, of those strategies lies at the root of Greece's lingering balance of payments problems: the ever-widening trade deficit with Germany, the country’s main trading partner, was the price of Greek economic growth in the decades following the war. By addressing this three-decade story of uneasy continuity, the book offers new insights into core-periphery relations in Europe, questions the conventional wisdom about Greece’s path to Europe, and challenges the way the so-called North-South divide has been adduced to explain the recent euro crisis. In doing so, the author calls attention to past cooperation between leading political and business circles in Greece and Germany, making this a useful and insightful read for historians and political scientists alike.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe University of Notre Dame Press is pleased to bring Ernst Haas's classic work on European integration, The Uniting of Europe, back into print. First published in 1958 and last printed in 1968, this seminal volume is the starting point for anyone interested in the pre-history of the European Union. Haas uses the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) as a case study of the community formation processes that occur across traditional national and state boundaries. Haas points to the ECSC as an example of an organization with the "power to redirect the loyalties and expectations of political actors." In this pathbreaking book Haas contends that, based on his observations of the actual integration process, the idea of a "united Europe" took root in the years immediately following World War II. His careful and rigorous analysis tracks the development of the ECSC, including, in his 1968 preface, a discussion of the eventual loss of the individual identity of the ECSC through its absorption into the new European Community. Featuring a new introduction by Haas analyzing the impact of his book over time, as well as an updated bibliography, The Uniting of Europe is a must-have for political scientists and historians of modern and contemporary Europe. This book is the inaugural volume of Notre Dame's new Contemporary European Politics and Society Series.
