The Atlantic Economy - Denis O'hearn - Bog - Manchester University Press - Plusbog.dk

The Atlantic Economy - Denis O'hearn - Bog - Manchester University Press - Plusbog.dk

Examines how the economic power of Britain and the US limits the opportunities for small states to develop. Follows the history of the Atlantic economy since the sixteenth century and shows how Ireland''s repeated attempts to industrialise were transformed by British and American power. Explains the problems of economic growth and industrialisation from the perspectives of both the developed and developing countries. Addresses the most important question in developmental politics - how can a developing country emerge from a historical cycle of underdevelopment?. Ends with a radical critique of the Irish ''Celtic Tiger'' phenomenon of the 1990s and argues that Ireland''s recent economic success is not a decisive break with past patterns because economic growth is concentrated in a limited area.

The Transatlantic Reconsidered - - Bog - Manchester University Press - Plusbog.dk

The Transatlantic Reconsidered - - Bog - Manchester University Press - Plusbog.dk

The Atlantic community seems to be in crisis and it is time to critically rethink past narratives and traditional frameworks of transatlantic relations. Exploring the historiography and legacies of the Atlantic World, contributors open up new, transnational, and global perspectives, helping us to better understand the TransAtlantic today. The TransAtlantic reconsidered brings together leading experts including Harvard historians Charles S. Maier and Bernard Bailyn along with former ERC scientific board member Nicholas Canny among others. All the scholars represented in this volume have helped to shape, re-shape, and challenge the narrative(s) of the Atlantic World and can thus (re-)evaluate its conceptual basis in view of historiographical developments and contemporary challenges. This volume thus documents and reflects on the changes within Transatlantic Studies during the last decades. New perspectives on research re-conceptualise how we think about the Atlantic World. This book speaks to an interested public as much as to the student and the scholar. Anyone teaching History, Political Sciences and International Relations will find this book an evocative overview of key developments in Transatlantic Studies and Atlantic History. A firm grasp of the history and the historiography of these fields can inform our better understanding of an Atlantic World today.

Anglo-American Relations Since 1939 - John Baylis - Bog - Manchester University Press - Plusbog.dk

Anglo-American Relations Since 1939 - John Baylis - Bog - Manchester University Press - Plusbog.dk

Taking the ''special relationship'' as a central theme, the book explores the public and private diplomacy between Britain and the United states in periods of war and peace. Using recently released archives as well as contemporary sources, the areas both of cooperation and conflict are revealed. What emerges is a much more complexed relationship than the one normally portrayed in much of the secondary literature on the subject. The documents also reveal the way the concepts of the ''special relationship'' was used as a ''tool of diplomacy'' on both sides of the Atlantic.

The New Politics of Russia - Andrew Monaghan - Bog - Manchester University Press - Plusbog.dk

The New Politics of Russia - Andrew Monaghan - Bog - Manchester University Press - Plusbog.dk

Russia often dominates the headlines. Yet its political realities are poorly understood by Western policy-makers and observers because their analyses are based on Western terms of reference, particularly Russia''s progress - or lack of it - towards liberal democracy and partnership with the West. This highly engaging book offers a robust critique of such an approach, and points to a different way to interpret Russia.Andrew Monaghan places the current crisis between the Euro-Atlantic community and Russia caused by the war in Ukraine into the broader and longer-term context of an increasingly obvious strategic dissonance in relations. He also explores the evolving domestic political landscape, unpicking the nature of power in Russia and introducing readers to both the current leadership and those who may emerge to lead Russia in the future.

Defense of the West - Stanley R. Sloan - Bog - Manchester University Press - Plusbog.dk

Defense of the West - Stanley R. Sloan - Bog - Manchester University Press - Plusbog.dk

Written in a lively and readable style by the world's leading authority on the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and US-European relations, Defense of the West is the history of a transatlantic security relationship that has endured for over seventy years. This latest edition of a classic work looks at how developments inside NATO and European Union member states affect their ability to defend against external threats while preserving Western values, in the era of Trump and Brexit. Sloan frankly addresses the failures and shortcomings of Western institutions and member states. But the book emphasizes the continuing importance of value-based transatlantic security cooperation as a vital element of the defense and foreign policies of NATO and EU member states. At a time of heightened tension and political turmoil, at home and abroad, Stan Sloan's lucid and far-sighted analysis is more necessary than ever.

Power in Modern Russia - Andrew Monaghan - Bog - Manchester University Press - Plusbog.dk

Power in Modern Russia - Andrew Monaghan - Bog - Manchester University Press - Plusbog.dk

The book explores the Russian leadership’s strategic agenda and illuminates the range of problems it faces in implementing it. Given these difficulties and the Russian leadership’s concerns about an unstable and increasingly competitive world, the Russian official and expert community often use the term 'mobilisation' to describe the measures that Moscow is increasingly resorting to in order to implement its agenda. The book explores what this means, and concludes that many of the terms used in the Western debate about Russia both misdiagnose the nature of the challenge and misrepresent the situation in Russia. At a time when many of the books about Russia are focused specifically on the war in Ukraine and the deterioration in relations between the Euro-Atlantic community and Russia, or are biographies of Vladimir Putin, it offers a new and unique lens through which to understand how Russia works and how Russian domestic and foreign politics are intimately linked.
