This new volume explores the crisis in transatlantic relations and
analyses the role of NATO following the collapse of the Soviet
Union. The book offers a unified theory of cooperation in the new
security paradigm to explain the current state of transatlantic
relations and NATO's failure to adequately transform itself into a
security institution for the 21st century. It argues that a new
preoccupation with risk filled the vacuum left by the collapse of
the Soviet Union, and uses the literature of the Risk Society to
analyse the strained politics of the North Atlantic community.
Using case studies to show how the West has pursued a strategy of
risk management, and the effect this has had on NATO's politics,
the book argues that a better understanding of how risk affects
Western political cohesion will allow policy makers a way of
adapting the structure of NATO to make it more effective as a tool
for security. Having analysed NATO's recent failings, the book
offers a theory for the way in which it can become an active risk
manager, through the replacement of its established structure by
smaller, ad hoc groupings.

This book engages the view that students of International
Relations need to break with the habit of defining power in terms
of military capabilities of states.
Featuring contributions from both upcoming and distinguished
scholars, including Steven Lukes, Joseph Nye, and Stefano Guzzini,
it explores the nature and location of 'power' in international
politics through a variety of conceptual lenses. With a particular
focus on the phenomenon of 'soft' power and different types of
actors in a globalizing world, fifteen chapters assess the meaning
of 'power' from the perspectives of realism, constructivism, global
governance, and development studies, presenting discussions ranging
from conceptual to practical oriented analyses.
Power in World Politics attempts to broaden theoretical horizons
to enrich our understanding of the distribution of power in world
politics, thereby also contributing to the discovery and analysis
of new political spaces. This is essential reading for all advanced
students and scholars of international relations.

Coming Unraveled...And Other Yarns is a collection of stories, or
yarns as they say below the Mason-Dixon Line, told in the way only
a Southerner can tell them. It tells of falling in love, living
life, making mistakes and picking up the pieces. It is a beehive of
zany characters whose outlandish behavior will have you laughing
out loud and perhaps shedding a tear or two.
Alora Bravemist had never conceived of traveling through time.
Alora had never ridden on the back of a giant wolf or uncovered a
buried alien space ship or discovered one of the ten wonders of the
universe. Alora only knew the sad loss of her mother in an
automobile accident. Helping her father raise her little brother
became her lot in life.
But then in less than three heartbeats everything changed. That
very moment she came upon a strange hand written note. It was a
poem, a very special poem, a riddle of sorts. A riddle contrived by
the fantastic "Guardian of Time."
From here on life would never, ever be the same again. She would
see wonders and adventures beyond her imagination. .. but only if
Alora could live long enough to help it all unfold in time.
Emily and Stan Remington's maiden voyage in their newly inherited
RV takes a lethal turn when a body falls off the top of their
vehicle. The retired couple find themselves at the center of a
murder investigation involving a politician, a corporate executive,
and a hippie priest. The rookie RVers inevitably butt heads with
the local sheriff as their investigation takes them from a
backwoods cabin in Wisconsin's scenic Door County to the Bishop's
Chancery in Madison to an abandoned island in the infamous Death's
Door Straits.
