Myth, Identity, and Conflict
Myth, Identity, and Conflict: A Comparative Analysis of Romanian and Serbian Textbooks, by Anamaria Dutceac Segesten, is an examination of how history and politics became entangled in Romania and Serbia. In it, Segesten asks questions like: Is myth present in the history textbooks of Romania and Serbia? If so, are there differences in the ways these myths define the in-group and the relationship with the Other between a country that experienced interethnic conflict (Serbia) and a country that did not (Romania)? Do textbooks affect the odds that conflict will occur? Segesten's findings confirm the presence of mythologized versions of the past in the history textbooks of both countries over th...
Management and Culture in an Enlarged European Commission
This book explores how the European Commission faced the challenge of enlargement. Based on extensive interviews, the work provides a lively and readable picture of life within the Commission, exploring how thousands of newcomers were recruited and socialized and how they changed the organization, including its gender balance.
Transnational Power Elites
This book argues that European Union institutional mechanics and the EU as a political unit cannot be properly understood without taking into account the elites that make the policy decisions. Spurred by globalisation, technological and economic development has provided the backbone for social and political transformations that have changed the social structures that unite and differentiate individuals and groups in Europe and their interface with extra-European actors. These developments are not only exemplified by the rise of the EU, but also by the rise of a set of transnational European power elites evolving in and around the European construction. This book maps out these EU and interna...
This Weightless World
"It's precisely Soto's refusal to be 'weighted' down by decades of genre tradition, to instead turn the trope on its head and in doing so remind us that no-one but ourselves is coming to save us, that makes This Weightless World such an exciting and radical novel." —Ian Monde, Locus "Set in Silicon Valley and Chicago, This Weightless World considers questions of morality in a world where people feel powerless in the face of formidable systemic forces." —Laura Adamczyk, A.V. Club A literary debut subverting classic sci-fi tropes set in gentrified Chicago, Silicon Valley, and across the vastness of the cosmos. From the streets of gentrified Chicago, to the tech boom corridors of Silicon Va...
Unity in Diversity
"The overall themes of this book are past and present changes in European cooperation. Two such changes were at the top of the agenda in the summer of 2004: the Eastern enlargement and the constitutional treaty. A way to interpret these changes is to look at them as manifestations of the two core concepts, 'diversity' and 'unity'. The combination of the concept of unity with the apparently contrasting notion of diversity - the two extremes of a scale seems to amount to a contradiction. But that is exactly the nature of European cooperation. How to overcome this contradiction and make it fruitful and productive is the challenge faced by the nations of Europe in the 21st Century. The different...

Die kulturelle Integration Europas
Dieser Sammelband setzt sich mit den verschiedenen Formen kultureller Integration und Desintegration in Europa auseinander. Im Zentrum steht die Frage nach den Ausprägungen und Mechanismen dieser Phänomene: Unter welchen sozialen, politischen, normativen und symbolischen Voraussetzungen finden Integration und Desintegration in Europa statt? Welche Faktoren dynamisieren die Entwicklung? Wo liegen die Grenzen des Integrationspotenzials? Der interdisziplinäre Ansatz des Sammelbandes ermöglicht es, die Vielfalt politischer, kultureller und sozialer Reibungsflächen in Europa in ihrer Komplexität zu erfassen und so zu einem tieferen Verständnis der europäischen Integrations- und Desintegrationsprozesse beizutragen.
