Illicit cross-border flows, such as the smuggling of drugs, migrants, weapons, toxic waste, and dirty money, are proliferating on a global scale. This underexplored, clandestine side of globalization has emerged as an increasingly important source of conflict and cooperation among nation-states, state agents, nonstate actors, and international organizations. Contrary to scholars and policymakers who claim a general erosion of state power in the face of globalization, this pathbreaking volume of original essays explores the selective nature of the stateOs retreat, persistence, and reassertion in relation to the illicit global economy. It fills a gap in the international political economy literature and offers a new and powerful lens through which to examine core issues of concern to international relations scholars: the changing nature of states and markets, the impact of globalization across place and issue areas, and the sources of cooperation and conflict.

Feelings come alive through the words of the Romantic poets. Romanticism gained traction in the late 1700s as writers moved away from the intellectualism of the Enlightenment and toward more emotional and natural themes. The major works of the movement's six most famous poets-William Wordsworth, George Gordon Byron, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, John Keats, and William Blake-are represented in this handsome Word Cloud Classics volume, The Romantic Poets. One of the largest and most influential artistic movements in history, Romanticism valued intuition and pastoralism, and its themes are well represented in the verse of its stars.

The Gothic novel, which flourished from about 1765 until 1825, revels in the horrible and the supernatural, in suspense and exotic settings.

What would you create if imagination dictated your future? What would you do if you had to take responsibility for all of your actions? Would you act or treat people differently if you lived in a perfect world? Twelve-Poke, Shelley Williams' exploration of humans' capacity for creativity, love and compassion is a wholly original and refreshing take on the afterlife, taking what could be a heavy subject and instilling it with imagination, humour and grace. We see Williams' vision of Heaven through the eyes of Scott, a pragmatic realist who has great difficulty adapting to the rules and nuances of the afterlife. Through Scott, Williams mixes the ordinary actions of everyday life with the dreamy atmosphere and ecstasy of her vision of Heaven. An uplifting, funny and original work, Twelve-Poke is a must-read for those looking for a book with both heart and soul.
