National and European Foreign Policy explores the processes of
interaction between the national and the European levels in foreign
policy making in European Union states. The volume also assesses
the mutual influence which the Member States exert on each other,
independent of the EU institutions, thus tracing the extent to
which Member State foreign policies are being Europeanized into
more convergent, coordinated policies. With chapters examining
France, Germany, Italy, UK, Denmark, Greece, Spain, Finland, Poland
and Slovenia, the overarching questions the volume addresses centre
on the nature of the relationship between the foreign policies of
the Member States and 'European' foreign policy. Engaging with
'Europeanization' with theoretical rigour, the contributors to this
volume examine the EU's impact on the foreign policies of Member
States old and new, the impact of the Member States on the EU's
external relations, and the influence of the Member States on each
other's foreign policies. Providing interesting detail on changes
in foreign policy thinking and national policies using the concept
of Europeanization, National and European Foreign Policy will be of
interest to students and scholars of European politics and policy
formation, foreign policy and International Relations.
This book examines issues of identity; positionality; community;
value and relevance, to explore where transnational higher
education is headed and what form it may take moving forwards.
Transnational higher education has traditionally been viewed
through the lens of access. Now, the authors argue, higher
education must think more closely about impact and legacy as
changing patterns of student recruitment, reduced options for
mobility and the need to establish value for money will be at the
heart of the next stage of evolution. Drawing on international case
studies from Europe, the Middle East and Central Asia, the book
outlines the past, present and future of higher education working
across national boundaries, and the extent to which this represents
the globalisation of the university sector. The book opens with an
analysis of the role of the university in both local and global
contexts, moving on to explore policy and collaboration and then
looking at emerging trends and activity in international higher
education. The final section draws directly from students, to give
their perspective and understanding of the core themes throughout
the book. This volume will have a wide readership amongst higher
education scholars, undergraduate and postgraduate students and
policy makers.
Using analysis and review of international case studies and
emerging models, Lamie and Hill’s edited book explores the very
nature of a university and discusses growth, sustainability, and
risk as universities navigate their role, value and purpose. As
universities continue to emerge from the pandemic, there is new
room to critically reflect on the role of higher education, both
locally and abroad, and how it impacts a sense of place, identity,
and engagement within their communities. The authors contribute
their unique perspectives to explore these themes and advise on how
a university can best benefit the well-being and development of its
students, staff and the local community. To what extent are
universities shaped by their environment? How does this provide
them a fixed sense of identity or a launching pad to expand beyond
their immediate location? Such questions are examined along with
the constraints and opportunities open to HEIs as they navigate the
waters of international higher education and their impact on
communities around the world. This deeply reflective text will
appeal to researchers and students in higher education, as well as
policymakers interested in the future of international higher
education.
This book is the very first to collect together the key official
documents tracing the development of European foreign policy from
the end of the Second World War to the present day. It
contains:
*all important documents on European foreign policy from 1948 to
the Kosovo crisis
*material from major treaties such as The North Atlantic treaty,
the treaty of Rome and the treaty of Amsterdam
*European responses to major world events such as the Middle East
peace process, the Falklands war and the Balkans crisis
*detailed commentary and analysis of the documents providing a
valuable political and historical context
*many documents which are extremely difficult to obtain
elsewhere.
The unparalleled coverage makes this book an essential primary
source for all those interested in European politics and
International Relations.
A Nation of Change and Novelty (1990) ranges broadly over the
political and literary terrain of the seventeenth century,
examining the importance of the English Revolution as a decisive
event in English and European history. It emphasises the historical
significance of the English Revolution, exploring not only its
causes but also its long term consequences, basing both in a broad
social context and viewing it as a necessary condition of England's
having nurtured the first Industrial Revolution.

There is increasing interest in the Asian arena; both as a home for
the delivery of international higher education and as a breeding
ground for a new brand of sustainable domestic and international
growth. Academics are increasingly turning to Asia and Asian
Education in order to better understand and predict the emerging
trends of global education and this book will serve to provide a
forum for debate of this nature. The book provides an insight into
the interplay of Asian and European education, identifies the key
areas for further development and firmly grounds the approach as
one of conversation and dialogue, rather than one-sided dictation.
It also highlights the critical issues within the development of
international education, discusses the value and challenges of
existing TNE practices as a mechanism to respond to the emerging
Asian needs and provides an insight into the future direction of
education in the Asian century.
Five years ago observers might have doubted that national foreign
policies would continue to be of importance: it seemed inevitable
that collective European positions were becoming ever more common
and effective. Now the pendulum has swung back with a vengeance.
The European responses to the prospect of war with Iraq in 1990-91,
and to the war in the Balkans, have made what happens in the
national capitals seem divisive. This work is a timely survey of
the interplay between the European Union's Common Foreign and
Security Policy and the long-established national foreign policies
of the Union's member-states. The book contains a chapter on each
country in the Union as well as a chapter on the United States in
its role as the "13th seat at the table". There is also a chapter
on the European Commission, whose role in the external relations of
the Community grew steadily during the 1980s.
Over the last thirty years, practitioners of international
relations have shown increasing interest in the academic study of
the subject and likewise academics have been drawn more and more
into involvement in government policy making.
Two Worlds of International Relations contains essays by leading
academics together with practitioners who discuss and analyze the
important developments in the field. The book's two main aims are
on the one hand to discover how significant academic work has
become for those taking practical decisions and on the other to
examine the impact on academic values of increasing involvement in
the policy community. The book has case studies and presents the
views of diplomats, lawyers and parliamentarians. The editors
conclude that there may well be a natural partnership between the
modern academic and foreign policy-makers, but to work will it
needs to be based on a distance between the two worlds.

This book explores the impacts of transnational education (TNE)
from the perspectives of institutions and countries that primarily
act as hosts. The authors describe and analyse TNE across a wide
geographical area comprised of both established and emerging TNE
host countries, from Europe to Southeast Asia to less-discussed
countries such as Nepal and Uzbekistan. Complementing the 2018
volume Exporting Transnational Education: Institutional Practice,
Policy and National Goals, the book is organised into three
principal themes: the impacts of TNE on capacity building, the
sustainability of such developments, and the impacts on the student
experience in host countries. As TNE is a dynamic and fast-moving
area of international higher education, this book will appeal to
scholars and administrators of international and transnational
education.
First published in 1961, this graphic depiction of a turbulent era
in English history examines ordinary men and women as well as kings
and queens. The author argues that the Civil War was driven by the
conflict between the old feudal lites and the growing merchant
classes. Society and the State are dissected alongside other
aspects such as Protestantism and the rise of capitalism and the
questioning of hitherto unassailable authorities such as the church
and the law.

In this, the last book published during his lifetime, renowned
historian of the English Revolution Christopher Hill uses the
literary culture of the seventeenth century to explore the immense
social changes of the period as well as the expressions of liberty,
the law and the hero-worship of the outlaw defiance. As well as
chapters on gypsies and vagabonds, Hill analyzes class, religion
and the shift away from the importance of the church after the
Reformation. Liberty against the Law is a late classic of Hill's
work and essential reading for anyone interested in the history and
politics of the seventeenth-century.
"Maritime Law, 6th edition is an exhaustive introduction to this
complex area of law. It systematically covers the principal topics
and illustrates the operation of shipping law in practice. The
sixth edition has been extensively revised and updated to
incorporate significant statutory developments and cases. This
book, with its readable style and practical approach, is ideal for
newcomers to subject tool as a research tool. It will also benefit
experienced professionals requiring an updated workbook on the
general principles and case law."
This is the classic life of Cromwell by one of the great radical
historians of the English Civil War 'A triumph of complex
interpretation and delicious prose ... Hill introduced nuance into
the character of Cromwell and the nature of his revolution ... the
finest of guides to the man of the times' Tristram Hunt, Guardian
'A humane and imaginative book by a historian writing at the peak
of his powers' Ivan Roots, Daily Telegraph 'This is the most
intelligent summation we have on Cromwell, and it is written with
the grace and power we have come to expect from Hill' J. P. Kenyon,
Observer 'One of the finest historians of the age' The Times
Literary Supplement 'The dean and paragon of English historians'

English summary: This volume documents the seventh theological
conference as part of the Meissen Process involving the Church of
England and the Evangelical Church in Germany. In this conference
which was held in Salisbury/England in 2011, the theological work,
to which both churches have pledged their efforts, focused on the
missionary dimension of ecclesiology with the goal of finding
common approaches for Christian witness in Europe's process of
transformation. The twelve essays representing academia and church
leadership consider the meaning of mission in Anglican and
Protestant ecclesiology and introduce current debates and new
models for missionary work in both churches. From a historical
perspective, the essays recall main themes within the history of
mission from early Christianity to late antiquity. They also
present basic reflections concerning the theology of mission in the
context of the ecumenical movement. German, English description:
Dieser Band dokumentiert die siebte Theologische Konferenz im
Rahmen des Meissen Prozesses der Kirche von England und der
Evangelischen Kirche in Deutschland, die 2011 in Salisbury/England
stattfand. Die theologische Arbeit, zu der sich beide Kirchen
verpflichtet haben, konzentrierte sich bei dieser Konferenz auf die
missionarische Dimension der Ekklesiologie mit dem Ziel, gemeinsame
Ansatze fuer christliches Zeugnis in den Wandlungsprozessen Europas
zu gewinnen. Die zwolf Beitrage von Vertretern aus Wissenschaft und
Kirchenleitung widmen sich der Bedeutung der Missionsthematik in
der anglikanischen und evangelischen Ekklesiologie und stellen
aktuelle Debatten und neue Modelle missionarischer Arbeit in beiden
Kirchen vor. In historischer Perspektive werden zentrale Motive der
fruehchristlichen und spatantiken Missionsgeschichte sowie
missionstheologische Grundueberlegungen im Kontext der Okumenischen
Bewegung in Erinnerung gebracht.
'His finest work and one that was both symptom and engine of the
concept of "history from below" ... Here Levellers, Diggers,
Ranters, Muggletonians, the early Quakers and others taking
advantage of the collapse of censorship to bid for new kinds of
freedom were given centre stage' Times Higher Education In 'The
World Turned Upside Down' Christopher Hill studies the beliefs of
such radical groups as the Diggers, the Ranters, the Levellers and
others, and the social and emotional impulses that gave rise to
them. The relations between rich and poor classes, the part played
by wandering 'masterless' men, the outbursts of sexual freedom, the
great imaginative creations of Milton and Bunyan - these and many
other elements build up into a marvellously detailed and coherent
portrait of this strange, sudden effusion of revolutionary beliefs.
'Established the concept of an "English Revolution" every bit as
significant and potentially as radical as its French and Russian
equivalents' Daily Telegraph 'Brilliant ... marvellous erudition
and sympathy' David Caute, New Statesman 'This book will outlive
our time and will stand as a notable monument to the man, the
committed radical scholar, and one of the finest historians of the
age' The Times Literary Supplement 'The dean and paragon of English
historians' E.P. Thompson
