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.
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.
