This book sheds light on how Member States and EU neighbours relate to Russia. It includes their historical, financial and political ties, as well as the public perception of the national population vis-a-vis Russia. Each chapter builds on these factors to elucidate the country's position towards Russia and provides a prediction on the future of these relations. This volume shows the diverse relations that the EU member states and neighbours have with Russia, spanning from tense and confrontational to more eased and friendly, highlighting the contrasts between the national state and the EU as a whole. The book also presents the reader with concrete aspects in different policy areas, via recommendations on how single countries and the EU should deal with Russia. Russia's invasion of Ukraine on 24th February 2022 will change the relationship between the West and Putin's Russia for decades to come. No doubt that this blatant violation of International Law and the incomprehensible human suffering of Ukrainian citizens will massively change the attitude of the countries analysed in this book.

While the ambitious objectives outlined in the EU's Green Deal aim at making Europe the first climate-neutral continent by 2050, national implementation greatly varies depending on local geographies, history, culture, economics, and politics. This book analyses Member States' and EU neighbours' national efforts to combat climate change. It subsequently draws on these factors to highlight local challenges, tensions, and opportunities on the road towards climate neutrality. In the context of inter-country dependencies following Russia's war against Ukraine, it addresses strategic questions regarding EU integration, the transformation of our economies, the reduction of energy dependencies, and public perception of the above. The book also makes concrete recommendations, in various policy areas, on how individual countries and the EU as a whole should deal with the climate crisis.

As the main interpreter for Adolf Hitler during the key prewar moments, such as the Munich Agreement, the British Declaration of War and the surrender of France, Paul-Otto Schmidt was well placed to record his impressions of events from 1935 up to 1945. He was an interpreter working in the German foreign ministry where he served from 1923 to 1945, and being fluent in English and French he gained respect and was Hitler s usual first choice for the important meetings. During the war years he served as Hitler's interpreter during his meetings with Marshal Philippe Petain and Francisco Franco. After the 1942 Dieppe Raid resulted in thousands of Canadian soldiers captured, Schmidt was in charge of their interrogations. Schmidt s book is helpful in gaining an insight into the minutiae of Third Reich thinking and planning as much as planning went beyond Hitler s will. One classic nugget is from the early morning of 3 September 1939 when Britain issued its ultimatum to Germany, for it was Schmidt who had to hand the translation to Hitler: After an interval which seemed an age, he turned to Ribbentrop, who had remained standing by the window. What now? asked Hitler with a savage look, as though implying that his Foreign Minister had misled him about England s probable reaction. "

This book sheds light on how member states and EU neighbours reacted to the COVID-19 pandemic through the lens of European solidarity, what they expect from the EU, and other member states, and how they are ready to contribute to common action. The volume reveals how European countries experience and perceive solidarity from the EU and towards the EU in different policy dimensions, such as intra-EU mobility, healthcare and financial and economic aspects of Europe's recovery. The book offers national perspectives and perceptions of solidarity and concrete aspects in different policy areas. It includes a Foreword by the Vice-presidents of the European Parliament Katarina Barley and Othmar Karas.

"The European Parliament elections in May 2019 did not bring about the rise of populism in Europe that had been feared by many. Instead, while populism was contained, a broad pro-European majority emerged that today carries the new European Commission with its ambitious green, digital and geopolitical agenda. However, Euroscepticism remains a significant force to be reckoned with in national and EU-policy making. The present book offers a better understanding of the different types of Euroscepticism that exist across Europe. It also shows that Euroscepticism is best addressed by understanding well the often valid concerns that are at the origins of Eurosceptic forces. If this is done in time, Euroscepticism is not something to be afraid of. It is part of a vibrant European democracy that is resilient enough to embrace those who criticise the reality of the European project with good arguments; and that stands ready to develop and improve day by day to become a more perfect Union." - Martin Selmayr, Head of the European Commission's representation in Austria "This book comes at the right time. European integration seems more contested than ever, but is it really? This book answers this question by probing into 40 shades of Euroscepticism, within and beyond the EU Member States. It is a must read for academics and practitioners alike." - Christine Neuhold, University of Maastricht, The Netherlands "With this book, the authors offer readers of European politics a treasure trove, with valuable insights into the variety of populist and nationalist forces that oppose mainstream European integration. Faced with such a jumble of eurosceptic parties pursuing narrow and in many cases reactionary agendas, the need for proper federal political parties becomes self-evident. Only then will the diverse interests and aspirations of citizens be given realistic expression at the EU level." - Andrew Duff, President, The Spinelli Group This book sheds light on how the increasing prominence of Eurosceptic and nationalist parties is having an impact on the thinking of mainstream parties, their representatives in the European Parliament, and the future of Europe. It is timed to coincide with the strategic vision of Council, Commission, and Parliament, as well as the next phase of Brexit negotiations. The book provides perspectives on the future of the European project from authors in all the EU Member States, as well as neighboring European countries and potential applicant nations. Furthermore, it includes a Foreword by the Vice-president of the European Parliament. With many Eurosceptic parties now in national government, or winning European elections and thus exerting influence over the national debate, this book maps and analyses the nature and impact of Euroscepticism-and new nationalist tendencies-in the different party systems of Europe. As national political parties are the gatekeepers of the process of political representation, they play a pivotal role in mobilizing civil society and in setting the political agenda. They shape politics at a national level, but also determine the way in which Europe plays out-or does not play out-as a political issue. Thus, it is from the national capitals that the very future of Europe emerges.

The Everyman's Library Pocket Poets hardcover series is popular for its compact size and reasonable price which does not compromise content.

With a Foreword by the President of the European Parliament, Antonio Tajani. This book sheds light on the political dynamics within the EU member states and contributes to the discussions about Europe. Authors from all member states as well as Iceland, Norway, Switzerland and Turkey assess how their country could get more involved in the European debate, taking the reader on a journey through various political landscapes and different views. The chapters cover issues ranging from a perceived lack of ambition at the periphery to a careful balancing act between diverse standpoints at the geographical centre. Yet, discussions share common features such as the anxiety regarding national sovereignty, the migration and border discourse, security concerns as well as the obvious need to regain trust and create policies that work. The book contributes vigorously to the debate about Europe in all capitals and every corner of the continent, because this is where its future will be decided.

These critically hailed translations of The Seagull, Uncle Vanya, The Three Sisters and the other Chekhov plays are the only ones in English by a Russian-language scholar who is also a veteran Chekhovian actor.

Without compromising the spirit of the text, Paul Schmidt accurately translates Chekhov's entire theatrical canon, rescuing the humor "lost" in most academic translations while respecting the historical context and original social climate.

Schmidt's translations of Chekhov have been successfully staged all over the U.S. by such theatrical directors as Lee Strasberg, Elizabeth Swados, Peter Sellars and Robert Wilson. Critics have hailed these translations as making Chekhov fully accessible to American audiences. They are also accurate -- Schmidt has been described as "the gold standard in Russian-English translation" by Michael Holquist of the Russian department at Yale University.

The temporal sequence of combustions occurring in tube-shaped spaces, which are open at one end, with oscillating gas columns reveals a charac- teristic dependence on the natural oscillation of the gas column. This de- pendence results from the igniting effects of a shock wave which forms at the end of the tube-shaped space during one perliod and moves towards the mixture. Theoretical studies based on the laws of gas dynamics do not clarify the igniting effect. It is, however, clarified when considering the shock from the point of view of gas dynamics and molecular kinetics. Since the ignitions proceed with high ignition velocities, considerable progress in combustion techniques can he made by using that type of igni- tion. Ignition by means of shock waves is not only feasible lin oscillation spaces which are open at one end, but also in closed spaces. Of practical importance is the formation of resonance shock waves, which may be pro- duced as plane, cyl

The power to change is sitting right in front of you. The world is exactly the way that it is today, not because we do not possess the Ways and Means to change, but because in every circumstance we choose not to.

The play focuses on the lives of three sisters, Olga, Masha, and Irina, young women of the Russian gentry who try to fill their days in order to construct a life that feels meaningful while surrounded by an array of military men, servants, husbands, suitors, and lovers, all of whom constitute a distractions from the passage of time and from the sisters' desire to return to their beloved Moscow.

"Not a mirror but a magnifying glass"-such, in the poet Mayakovsky's words, was the theater of Vsevolod Meyerhold. The first to insist on the primacy of the director's role, indeed the first to conceive of it as a role, this passionately dedicated Russian director tore down the fourth wall and forced the actors and audience together into one inescapable community of experience. Yet Meyerhold recorded few of his theories in writing, and the intensity and brilliance of his work must be recaptured through the actors and artists who helped create the performances. Focusing on Meyerhold's postrevolutionary career, Paul Schmidt has assembled in this book journals, letters, reminiscences, and, of special interest, actual rehearsal notes that build a fascinating, intimate picture of Meyerhold as a theorist and as a man. Included are Meyerhold's frantic notes to his teacher, friend, and bete noire Stanislavsky; detailed descriptions of how he trained his actors in "biomechanics"; and memories by such students as Eisenstein and such friends as Pasternak and Ehrenburg. One chapter deals with Meyerhold's never-realized conception of Boris Godunov, while another describes his direction of Camille, which starred Zinaida Raikh, his wife, and which played its 725th and last performance on the day Stalin's government liquidated Meyerhold's theater. Paul Schmidt's introduction and headnotes enhance our understanding of Meyerhold as a pioneer of modern theater.

Examensarbeit aus dem Jahr 2011 im Fachbereich Englisch - Padagogik, Didaktik, Sprachwissenschaft, Note: 3, - (2.SPS Neukolln), Sprache: Deutsch, Anmerkungen: Diese Arbeit entstand im Rahmen meiner 2. Staatsprufung fur das Lehramt an Gymnasien. Sie basiert auf einer Unterrichtsreihe, in einem Leistungskurs am Paulsen-Gymnasium in Berlin durchgefuhrt., Abstract: Eben diese Fahigkeit, Texte verschiedener Textsorten, demnach auch Reden, systematisch zu erschliessen und zu analysieren, fiel mir im Leistungskurs Englisch, in dem ich regelmassig und intensiv hospitiert und einzelne Reihen unterrichtet habe, wahrend des Schuljahres 2010/2011 als defizitar auf. Gerade in Bezug auf Reden liess sich eine hohe Motivation erkennen, wobei die Herangehensweise, die Mechanismen der Redeanalyse fehlten und somit keine fundierte Texterschliessung erlaubten. Da ich diese Fahigkeit - gerade in Hinblick auf das ausserschulische Leben - als elementar erachte, entstand die Idee, die Textanalysekompetenz der Schuler in einer Sequenz zu fordern, um den beschriebenen Defiziten entgegenzuwirken. Dies ergibt sich besonders vor dem Hintergrund, die Mundigkeit der Schuler, wie im Berliner Schulgesetz (vgl. 2004: 1, 3) und in den Bildungsstandards (vgl. 2003: 9) beschrieben, zu erhohen und sie zu einem kritischen, reflektierten Umgang mit politischen Reden, aber daraus abstrahierend auch auf andere Textsorten anwendend, zu befahigen. Die vorliegende Arbeit soll die Planung und Durchfuhrung dieser Reihe dokumentieren und daraus resultierend schliesslich die Leitfrage beantworten, ob die ausgewahlten Methoden zu einer verbesserten Textanalysekompetenz im Bereich der methodischen Kompetenz einen Beitrag leisten konnten bzw. demnach generell vermogen.

Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2011 im Fachbereich Politik - Politische Systeme - Allgemeines und Vergleiche, Note: 1,6, Universitat Leipzig (Institut fur Politikwissenschaft), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Kanada hat, gemessen an der Zahl der Einwohner_innen, die hochste Einwanderungsquote weltweit. Gleichzeitig wird das kanadische Migrationsregime immer wieder als Vorbild fur eine marktwirtschaftlich sinnvolle Einwanderungspolitik herangefuhrt. Die vorliegende Arbeit beleuchtet die gegenwartige Einwanderungsgesetzgebung in Deutschland und Kanada. Dabei stellt sich nicht nur die Frage, wie Migration aktuell organisiert wird, sondern auch unter welchen Bedingungen sie bereits stattfindet. Dabei gilt der Blick jedoch nicht nur dem formalen Prozess der Anwerbung und Einreise. Vielmehr wird unter Bezugnahme von Pierre Bourdieus Kulturkonzept sowie des Anerkennungskonzepts von Axel Honneth die Inklusion in den Arbeitsmarkt als zentrale Voraussetzung zur Generierung sozialer Anerkennung und damit einer gelungenen Integration dargestellt.
