This book offers new insight into the end of the British Empire in the Middle East. It takes a fresh look at the relationship between Britain and the Gulf rulers at the height of the British Empire, ...and how its effects are still felt internationally today. Over the last four decades, the Persian Gulf region has gone through oil shocks, wars and political changes, and yet the basic entities of the southern Gulf states have remained largely in place. How did this resilient system come about for such seemingly contested societies? Drawing on extensive multi-archival research in the British, American and Gulf archives, this book illuminates a series of negotiations between British diplomats and the Gulf rulers that inadvertently led Bahrain, Qatar and the UAE to take their current shapes. The story addresses the crucial question of self-determination versus 'better together', a dilemma pertinent to anyone interested in the transformation of the modern world.
Realism remains the most important and controversial vision of international politics. But what does it mean to be a realist? This collection addresses this key question by returning to the thinking ...of perhaps the most influential realist of modern times: Hans J. Morgenthau. In analyses of issues ranging from political philosophy, to international law, to the impact of nuclear weapons and the challenges of American foreign policy, the authors demonstrate that Morgenthau’s thinking exemplifies a rich realist tradition that is often lacking in contemporary analyses of international relations and foreign policy. At a time when realism is once again at the centre of both scholarly and political debates, this book shows that the legacy of classical realism can enrich our understanding of world politics and contribute to its future direction.
Environmental issues and questions of global change are now firmly established on the international political agenda. This book provides a wide-ranging survey of the current treatment of ...environmental issues in international relations. This book begins by looking at the relevance of the different theoretical approaches current in international relations to the study of the environment. It analyzses a wide range of approaches from the debate between neo-realism and liberal institutionalism to the significant connections between gender and global environmental change. The book goes on to consider a range of key international processes, discussing the monitoring and implementation of environmental agreements, the place of ideology in negotiations and the role of international organisations.

This book reappraises the constitutional fundamentals of EU foreign relations law. The essays in the book examine and reassess the basic principles of EU foreign relations law that have emerged over ...50 years of incremental Treaty-based and judicial development and explore the particular character of the EU's "external constitution". They have been written against a background of change and debate: the deliberation over the character of the appropriate constitutional framework which has surrounded the drafting of the Constitutional and Reform Treaties, the increasingly cross-pillar nature of much EU external action, and renewed interest in the accountability of foreign relations policy and practice to democratic and judicial review within and without the EU.

Soča – smaragdna vez med Alpami in Jadranom. Resda jo deli meja – toda tako odprta kot ta, ki jo seka reka ...Soča – je le dokaz, da meja ni vedno ločnica, pač pa je iskrena povezovalka. Združila je ljudi tostran in onstran v kulturi in gospodarstvu in zdaj še turizmu. Obmejni mesti Nova Gorica in Gorica sta v prijateljstvu postavili piko na i s skupno turistično ponudbo. Najprej sta z izvirnim prospektom GO in GO, ki sta ga pripravili Medobčinska Gospodarska zbornica za Severno Primorsko in Pokrajinska turistična ustanova iz Gorice v Italiji, uokvirili prostor, ki ga skupaj ponujata. Pravzaprav pravi podvig, saj gre za prvi skupni meddržavni turistični prospekt. Prvi vzorec, kako idejo skupnega meddržavnega turističnega nastopa oživiti, sta že pripravili turistični agenciji obmejnih mest – več dnevna popotovanja skozi italijanska in jugoslovanska mesta od Alp do Jadrana.
