The EU is a supranational organization, whose reach and influence extends well beyond its member states, especially to the many states that have signed various forms of association agreement with it.

This book asks whether qualifying states who have eschewed EU membership experience negative effects on their legal and political self-governing abilities, or whether they manage their independence with few such effects. It explores the idea that the closer the affiliation a non-member state has with the EU, the more susceptible to hegemony the relationship appears to be. In addition,...

Climate change poses multiple challenges to development. It affects lives and livelihoods, infrastructure and institutions, as well as beliefs, cultures and identities. There is a growing recognition that the social dimensions of vulnerability and adaptation now need to move to the forefront of development policies and practices.

This book presents case studies showing that climate change is as much a problem of development as for development, with many of the risks closely linked to past, present and future development pathways. Development policies and practices can...

"The cosmopolitan anthropologist Ulf Hannerz has been engaged for forty years on a multi-site ethnography of the intricate web of relationships that he calls the global ecumene. To this ambitious, protean project he has brought remarkable erudition, the insights of the social sciences, and the style and sensibility of a humanist." - Adam Kuper, London School of Economics

"One of anthropology's most prescient, capacious, and original thinkers, Hannerz is unique in his worldliness, his genial humanity. He has long epitomized the genius of his discipline to cast light on a culturally...

Deformation theory is used as a tool for studying the structure of moduli schemes in geometry by many mathematicians and physicists. Mainly, the structure of the obstruction groups and their vanishing is used for smoothness properties, but there is a need to find the structure of the singularities in moduli spaces as well. This can only be achieved by constructing the singularities, and this can be done by the deformation theory studied in this book, in particular in the study of liftings by generalized matric Massey products.

An urgent need exists for a guide to innovative mental health education. Despite the hundreds of programs in existence for training students in counseling, human services, social work, and psychology, teachers in such programs have relied on an informal network of information exchange to guide their teaching practice. Yet, constructivist and developmental theories now point to sound, innovative practices for teaching. This volume delineates some of those practices.

The authors take the position that, despite years of research on effective adult education, university teaching fails, in...
