CiNii 図書 - Extending European cooperation : the European Union and the 'new' international trade agenda

Understanding the reasons for international cooperation is one of the central factors in studying international relations theory. This book addresses a main part of this issue - what is the impact of prior cooperation on decisions to extend cooperation to new areas of policy? This aspect of international cooperation is becoming increasingly pertinent as regional, plurilateral and multilateral agreements proliferate. The key issue is that the EU's member governments have repeatedly sought to cooperate in such negotiations, despite significant differences in their economic interests and without having previously committed themselves to cooperate. This book addresses a significant gap in the literature on EU policymaking, namely, analysis of foreign economic policy-making. It is also directly relevant to understanding how the EU engages in international trade negotiations, including those currently underway and in prospect within the World Trade Organization. Three illuminating case studies are used to illustrate the points made - the basic telecommunications services negotiations, the EU and the MAI (Multilateral Agreement on Investment) and transatlantic aviation.

1. Situating preferences in context 2. The changing nature of European foreign economic policy 3. The basic telecommunications service negotiations 4. The EC and the MAI - an unsuccessful hybrid game 5. Transatlantic aviation - competing two-level games 6. Conclusion - cooperation in a flexible framework

内容説明

This is the first study to examine the entire life cycle in the Middle Ages. Drawing on a wide range of secondary and primary material, the book explores the timing and experiences of infancy, childhood, adolescence and youth, adulthood, old age and, finally, death. It discusses attitudes towards ageing, rites of passage, age stereotypes in operation, and the means by which age was used as a form of social control, compelling individuals to work, govern, marry and pay taxes. The wide scope of the study allows contrasts and comparisons to be made across gender, social status and geographical location. It considers whether men and women experienced the ageing process in the same way, and examines the differences that can be discerned between northern and southern Europe. The fourteenth and fifteenth centuries suffered famine, warfare, plague and population collapse. This fascinating consideration of the life cycle adds a new dimension to the debate over continuity and change in a period of social and demographic upheaval. -- .
