Description: The E.U. combines some attributes of a state with those of an international organization, yet it resembles neither. Its development is shaped by an increasing number of players, including twenty-five member governments, multiple common E.U. institutions, clusters of experts, private interests, and citizen groups. All influence what the E.U. is and what it does. Duncan Watts demystifies the E.U. and makes its institutions and processes more intelligible to all who share an interest in the function of the organization. He covers key aspects in an authoritative yet clear and accessible style and provides valuable maps, tables, a glossary of terms, and suggestions for further reading.

Description: The proposal a decade ago to advance regional integration of the United States, Canada and Mexico by negotiating a North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) provoked a sharp reaction from the environmental community. US environmental groups argued, among other things, that increased competition would weaken environmental standards in all three countries and that increased industrial growth in Mexico would further damage its environmental infrastructure. Their demands for safeguards against real or potential abuses posed a serious obstacle to the launch of NAFTA negotiations. A side accord - the North American Agreement on Environmental Cooperation (NAAEC) - helped alleviate some but not all of their concerns, and they have since opposed new trade initiatives. Does the NAFTA record on the environment since 1994 justify their criticism? Six years is too short a time period to redress decades of environmental abuse, but it is not too soon to assess NAFTA's achievements and shortcomings in meeting its environmental objectives and its impact on environmental conditions in these three countries. In this analysis, the authors review (1) the environmental provisions of the NAFTA; (2) the NAAEC; (3) the situation at the US-Mexican border; and (4) the trends in North American environmental policy. They emphasize thatthe environmental problems of North America were not the result of NAFTA nor was the NAAEC devised to address all of them. It makes more sense to tackle the shortcomings than lament the existence of a free trade agreement (as many environmentalists do), or overlook the problems (as diehard free-trade advocates might).

Description: Only in the past 15 years or so, with the fall of the Berlin Wall and the realization that freedom and economic well-being are empirically linked, have the professional communities dealing with development and human rights issues begun to communicate effectively. But too much of the dialogue has been confined to an abstract or theoretical level. The eminent contributors to this volume address highly specific but crucial aspects of the human rights and development interface, including the economics of social rights; land rights and women's empowerment; child labor and access to education; reform of legal and judicial systems; the human rights role of the private sector; and building human rights into development planning, especially the Poverty Reduction Strategy process.

Description: Increasingly, matters of direct concern to the American public are being regulated by international treaty regimes. Do these new international treaty regimes pose a challenge to the US constitutional order? In particular, how do treaty-based obligations interfere with property rights, freedom of expression, and the decentralisation of power in the federal system? This book deals with problems encountered by the United States, as a federal system. In complying with international treaty obligations at this period of renewed interest in state rights. It examines the ways in which the American constitutional system sometimes adapts to and sometimes erects barriers against the new system of global solutions to global problems. It investigates the resulting challenges of a treaty-by-treaty basis with special attention to such areas as human rights and disarmament.

Description: Tehran denies that it has military ambitions for its nuclear activities and it has pledged to continue its nuclear pursuits. The Institute for National Security Studies in Tel Aviv said time is running out to deal with Iran. "Iran's drive for regional hegemony is reflected primarily by its uncompromising efforts to achieve a military nuclear capability," the INSS (formerly the Jaffe Center for Strategic Studies) concluded in its annual report released in Jan-2007 "Despite the growing concern within the international community, the INSS questions whether effective sanctions will be imposed. Time is working in Iran's favour, and barring military action, Iran's possession of nuclear weapons is only a matter of time." Dr. Zvi Shtauber, director of the INSS, noted that the international community continues to reject the use of force. They are hoping some miracle will happen and it won't be necessary, he said. But, "at the end of the road," the international community will discover that "nothing helps," Shtauber told Cybercast News Service. When a country [like Iran] has money, scientific know-how and determination, it is very hard to stop them, said Shtauber, a former Israeli ambassador to Britain and former head of strategic planning in the Israeli army. Shtauber said that however "momentous" the decision may be to attack Iran, the prospect of a nuclear-armed Iran is far worse.

Description: This title presents a fully up-to-date analysis of the development and deployment of civil and military Non-Lethal Weapons (NLWs), and of the key issues, controversies and concerns they are raising. Of particular interest in this arena is the introduction of electroshock weapons, acoustic weapons, microwave weapons and biochemical incapacitants. The book includes case studies of the use of NLWs by peacekeeping and peace enforcement forces in Kosovo and Iraq. "Non-Lethal Weapons and Conflict Resolution" will be of great interest to students of peace operations, conflict resolution and arms control, and of security studies in general.

Description: In the early years of the republic, the United States government negotiated with Indian nations because it could not afford protracted wars politically, militarily, or economically. Maureen Konkle argues that by depending on treaties, which rest on the equal standing of all signatories, Europeans in North America institutionalized a paradox: the very documents through which they sought to dispossess Native peoples in fact conceded Native autonomy. As the United States used coerced treaties to remove Native peoples from their lands, a group of Cherokee, Pequot, Ojibwe, Tuscarora, and Seneca writers spoke out. These writers countered widespread misrepresentations about Native peoples' supposedly primitive nature, their inherent inability to form governments, and their impending disappearance with history, polemic, and personal narrative. Furthermore, they contended that arguments about racial difference merely justified oppression and dispossession; deriding these arguments as willful attempts to evade the true meanings and implications of the treaties, the writers insisted on recognition of Native peoples' political autonomy and human equality. Konkle demonstrates that these struggles over the meaning of U.S.-Native treaties in the early nineteenth century led to the emergence of the first substantial body of Native writing in English and, as she shows, the effects of the struggle over the political status of Native peoples remain embedded in contemporary scholarship.

Description: Before it was a fact of life, free trade was a much-debated issue in Canadian politics. The Free Trade Papers strips away the rhetoric and shows just what the key players--both American and Canadian--hoped to win and feared to lose under free trade.
Duncan Cameron has identified the key documents expressing the views of both the boosters and critics of free trade, including private communications from President Reagan and U.S. trade ambassador Peter Murphy. Statements of dissent and some excellent political journalism are included in this volume, along with important research on the economic basis of free trade.
The Free Trade Papers offers a vital, immediate primer of one of the most contentious debates in twentieth-century Canadian history.
