From 1944 to 1946, as the world pivoted from the Second World War to an unsteady peace, Americans in more than two hundred cities and towns mobilized to chase an implausible dream. The newly-created United Nations needed a meeting place, a central place for global diplomacy--a Capital of the World. But what would it look like, and where would it be? Without invitation, civic boosters in every region of the United States leapt at the prospect of transforming their hometowns into the Capital of the World. The idea stirred in big cities--Chicago, San Francisco, St. Louis, New Orleans, Denver,...

Ireland and the European Union
ISBN: 9781403949288 / Angielski / Miękka / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Ireland's membership in the European Union has coincided with its transformation from a peripheral poor state into a dynamic economy with a level of wealth in line with the union's core states. This has led to great interest in the Irish model among other poorer, small state members of the EU--especially those in the 2004 accession round.

Breaking the WTO: How Emerging Powers Disrupted the Neoliberal Project
ISBN: 9781503600591 / Angielski / Miękka / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The world economic order has been upended by the rise of the BRIC nations and the attendant decline of the United States' international influence. In Breaking the WTO, Kristen Hopewell provides a groundbreaking analysis of how these power shifts have played out in one of the most important theaters of global governance: the World Trade Organization. Hopewell argues that the collapse of the Doha Round negotiations in 2008 signals a crisis in the American-led project of neoliberal globalization. Historically, the U.S. has pressured other countries to open their markets while maintaining...

The failure to reach an agreement on a Security Council resolution demonstrates the continued problems in forging a coherent international response to crisis situations.

ISBN: 9780745687513 / Angielski / Twarda / 104 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Today Europe finds itself in a crisis that casts a dark shadow over an entire generation. The seriousness of the crisis stems from one core political contradiction at the heart of the European project: namely, that what urgently needs to be done is also extremely unpopular and therefore virtually impossible to do democratically. What must be done - and almost everyone agrees in principle on the measures that would be needed to deal with the financial crisis - cannot be sold to the voting public of the core member states, which so far have been less affected by the crisis than those on the...

Public Participation and Legitimacy in the WTO
ISBN: 9781107067820 / Angielski / Twarda / 324 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The legitimacy of the WTO's decision-making process has always been questioned, and many have advocated public participation mechanisms as a remedy. Yves Bonzon considers the limits and potential of these mechanisms by advancing a conceptual framework which distinguishes the four 'implementation parameters' of public participation: the goal, the object, the modalities, and the actors. He addresses the issue of legitimacy by considering to what extent, and by virtue of which legal developments, one can see implementing the democratic principle as a goal for public participation in the context...

This heated debate has been going on for many years now, always under the assumption that it is the membership candidate alone who needs to adjust to the EU's influence. This book argues that the Turkish accession needs to be analyzed not only by looking at the EU's impact on Turkish transformation but also from an angle that captures the Turkish role in recasting Europe.

A "United States of Europe," Winston Churchill proposed in 1946, could "as if by a miracle transform" that "turbulent and mighty continent." "In this way only," he continued, "will hundreds of millions of toilers be able to regain the simple joys and hopes which make life worth living."

The currency of the Union, the euro, is used... Winner of the 2014 European Book Prize.
