Description

The relationship between the EU and Central Eastern Europe is one of the key issues for the future integration of Europe. This book explores EU/CEE relations since 1989 and the conditions that have shaped them, focusing on the contribution by the EU to political, economic and social change within CEE countries in the context of a gradually emerging "European" policy. Areas covered include democracy, economics, gender, the environment and regional security. The volume is divided into two parts. Part one examines EU-CEE relations in the context of the themes mentioned above, with a range of contemporary evidence from most Central and Eastern European country experiences. Part two concentrates on four case studies - the Czech and Slovak Republics, Hungary and Poland - with each reflecting those themes in Part one of the book relevant to their particular relationship with the EU. The book concludes with two detailed chronologies of EU-CEE relations and a summary of the current Agenda 2000 proposal for EU enlargement.

Description

Missionary families were an integral component of the missionary enterprise, both as active agents on the global religious stage and as a force within the enterprise that shaped understandings and theories of mission itself. Taking the family as a legitimate unit of historical analysis in its own right for the first time, Missionary families traces changing familial policies and lived realities throughout the nineteenth century and powerfully argues for the importance of an historical understanding of the missionary enterprise informed by the complex interplay between the intimate, the personal and the professional. By looking at marriage, parenting and childhood, along with professionalism, vocation and domesticity, this first in-depth study of missionary families reveals their profound importance to the missionary enterprise, and concludes that mission history can no longer be written without attention to the personal, emotional and intimate aspects of missionary lives. -- .
