Under the impact of accelerated globalization, transnational
integration and international security concerns, the geopolitics of
Europe's borders and border regions has become an area of critical
interest. The progressive enlargement of the EU has positioned its
borders at the heart of recent discussions on the changing nature
of the EU, the meaning of 'Europe' and what constitutional shape a
more politically unified Europe might take. With enlargement, the
EU must elaborate strategies to contend with a fiercely competitive
world - and to build fortress-like defences against perceived
tensions arising from greater cultural mixing and threats such as
terrorism. The authors build up an integral picture of the EU's
internal and external borders and borderlands to reveal the
processes of re-bordering and social change currently taking place
in Europe. They explore issues such as security, immigration,
economic development and changing social and political attitudes,
as well as the EU's relations with the Islamic world and other
world powers. The book embraces an array of disciplinary,
ideological and theoretical perspectives, offering detailed case
studies of different border regions and the concerns of the local
inhabitants, while engaging in broader discussions of developments
across Europe, state policies and the EU's relations with
neighbouring states. Geopolitics of European Union Enlargement will
be of key interest to students and researchers in the fields of
European politics, geography, international studies, sociology and
anthropology.

Contemporary globalisation both challenges conventional forms of democracy and is opening up new needs and possibilities for democratisation beyond the territoriality of national states. These issues are explored by an international and multidisciplinary array of experts who focus on federalism, multi-cultural societies, the European Union and potential agents for the democratisation of global institutions.
In contemporary Norwegian fiction Tomas Espedal's work stands
out as uniquely personal; it can be difficult to separate the
fiction from Espedal's own experiences. In that vein, his novel
"Against Art" is not just the story of a boy growing up to be a
writer, but it is also the story of writing. Specifically, it is
about the profession of writing--the routines, responsibility, and
obstacles. Yet, "Against Art "is also about being a father, a son,
and a grandson; about a family and a family's tales, and about how
preceding generations mark their successors. It is at once about
choices and changes, about motion and rest, about moving to a new
place, and about living." ""Praise for the Norwegian Edition""One
of the most beautiful, most important books I've read for
years."--"Klassekampen" "Espedal has written an amazingly rich
novel, which will assuredly stand out as one of the year's best and
will also further fortify the quality of Norwegian literature
abroad."--" Adresseavisen" ""Against Art" attacks literature while
at the same time being intensely literary. Our greatest sorrows and
torments, the individual experiences often so anemic in art, find a
voice of their own."--"Morgenbladet" ""Against Art" moves me with
its maternal history and proves yet again that Tomas Espedal writes
great novels."--"Dag og Tid"

A novel of intersecting historical threads. Love narrates
celebrated Norwegian writer Tomas Espedal's search for death. The
decision blossoms within I-the I-person-"like some interior bloom,
black and beautiful" on a warm spring day in May, and it is this
resolution that fills his self-imposed final year with meaning:
Death. It can be so beautiful. One must create this beauty for
oneself. One must submit to this naturalness, one must choose it,
like pulling the duvet over oneself in bed or jumping off a bridge.
But almost immediately life deals I a wildcard: a new love affair
brings some of the best days he's ever known and threatens his pact
with death. Will he be able to leave Aka and the child she's
carrying? He has put an endpoint on his life to intensify
experience but is he sure that disappearing from their lives,
becoming an absent father, is the best thing for all of them? Set
against Espedal's constant reference, the ebb and flow of the
seasons, something close to ecstasy propels this most introspective
of narratives towards a universal truth.
Borders increasingly capture the attention of policy-makers and
scholars across Europe. The deepening and widening of the European
Union, the spread of Euroregions, and the creation of new states in
eastern Europe since the early 1990s have thrown the changing
internal and external borders of the EU into sharp relief.
Globalization has brought more widespread and fundamental changes,
with increased cross-border flows of goods, capital, information
and people.
Contemporary globalisation both challenges conventional forms of democracy and is opening up new needs and possibilities for democratisation beyond the territoriality of national states. These issues are explored by an international and multidisciplinary array of experts who focus on federalism, multicultural societies, the European Union and potential agents for the democratisation of global institutions.
