European Bankruptcy & Emigration
ISBN: 9781138557550 / Angielski / Twarda / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is the outcome of a series of articles which appeared in the "Svenska Dagbladet" in the summer of 1923 and were afterwards published as a book. The interest aroused in Sweden and the other Scandinavian countries, and still more the momentous problems it is concerned with, have induced me to revise and enlarge it for an English version in order to reach a wider public. Also, the great English-speaking community, possessing more experience of colonization than any other people, may safely be presumed to take a still more vivid interest in these question which involve in my judgement...

Borders in Post-Socialist Europe: Territory, Scale, Society
ISBN: 9780754643845 / Angielski / Twarda / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. 'Borders' have attracted considerable attention in public and academic debates in light of the impact of globalisation and, in Europe, the end of the divisions of the Cold War era. Instead, being inside or outside of the EU has become a major paradigmatic divide between claimed 'spheres of influence' by 'Brussels' and 'Moscow' respectively. In the aftermath of the end of communism, established certainties no longer seemed to apply. And this included many of the borders within the former eastern Bloc, with some losing their relevance, while others re-assert themselves. As its particular...

Do EU institutions have an influence on the implementation of the rule of law in potential candidate countries and, if so, of what kind?

Europeanization of Environmental Policy in the New Europe: Beyond Conditionality
ISBN: 9781409432944 / Angielski / Twarda / 194 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Prior to the European Union (EU) 2004/2007 enlargement there were several predictions that this event would hamper progressive decision-making within the EU on environmental policy. It was believed that the new member states had adopted EU rules as a consequence of the EU's conditionality and consequently they would rather slow down the reform speed in the field after accession. In this book, Mats Braun offers an up-to-date account of how post-communist member states have handled policy initiatives in the field of environmental policy after accession. Using detailed case studies of how...
