The putative new world order, when viewed from different regions of the globe, is not really new, is hardly global in scope, and is anything but orderly in its development. In this volume, an international cast of contributors comes together to share regional perspectives on questions about peace and security, economic growth and welfare, and democracy and civil society in the post–Cold War world. They find that there has been “uneven globalization” with strong “regional variation”—two important concepts that this book brings to theory-building beyond the rhetoric of new world order thinking. An ideal supplement for many courses in international relations, Whose World Order? transcends the typically Eurocentric view projected in most textbooks, combining theory and practical evidence from the different regions in innovative applications and analyses. The contributors to this volume share

Brendan Simms recounts compelling history over 550 years, from the fall of Constantinople to modern democracies. The story involves emperors, revolution, rivalry, unification, and utopias. As Europe's future appears uncertain, this account is essential to understanding its past. Type: Paperback
What it is and What it Does Arguing that the European Union is a foreign policy actor, "albeit a peculiar one," Smith (international relations, U. of Warwick, UK) explores the foreign policy capabilities and priorities of the EU. Not limiting herself to the Common Foreign and Security Policy of the EU, Smith considers foreign policy of the EU to be the compilation of all of its activities abroad and suggests that it has a "comprehensive, extensive and sometimes remarkably effective" foreign policy.The book is distributed by Stylus.

Bogen undersøger den moderne internationaliseringsproces og dens konsekvenser for stater og samfund. Jørgen Ørstrøm Møller gennemgår, hvordan økonomisk og politisk globalisering udfordrer den klassiske idé om national suverænitet og statens eneret til at lovgive inden for egne grænser. Han beskriver, hvordan internationale organisationer, aftaler og institutioner gradvist får større indflydelse på nationale beslutninger, og hvordan dette både kan styrke og begrænse det enkelte lands handlefrihed. Undervejs diskuteres, om udviklingen peger mod en ny, mere regelbaseret verdensorden med stærkere internationalt samarbejde, eller om verden snarere bevæger sig mod et fragmenteret system uden klar ledelse. Bogen er rettet mod læsere med interesse for international politik, globalisering, samfundsvidenskab og moderne historie. Type: Hardcover Dansksproget fagbog af Jørgen Ørstrøm Møller om inter

From the Middle Ages to the Present The first general history of the evolution of European states and nations from medieval times to the present. 'Schulze demonstrates a high level of competence in tracing the growth of the nation and the state from the time of Charlemagne to the reign of Napoleon. But it is in his account of that point in the early nineteenth century when the nation and state fuse that his book achieves brilliance. Choice This book describes the twin evolutions of nation and state from the Middle Ages to the present and links them to stages in European cultural history. The author contrasts the development of the state in different parts of Europe and shows how the concept merged with the idea of the nation in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The modern idea of the nation state, he argues, is rooted in the fundamental changes that took place during the industria
