A new history of the idea of Europe from Ancient Greece to the present 'A magisterial history, written with great panache, that is both enlightening and deeply readable. A true tour de force - Peter Frankopan What do we talk about when we talk about Europe? Is it defined by geography? Or is it politics, or shared culture? In Europe, award-winning historian Roderick Beaton tells the story of Europe as never before - as the history of an idea, and a collective identity. Since its dramatic birth in ancient Greece, 'Europe' has been defined, and redefined, by its people. Through this powerful lens, and with the narrative drive and scope of a novelist, Beaton deftly surveys Europe's major historical developments: the rise and fall of Rome; the explosion of Christianity; the intellectual ferment of the Renaissance and the Enlightenment; the arrival of Europeans in the Americas; the violent upheavals of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; and the uncertainties of the present. Throughout, original sources allow the voices of the past, from Tacitus to Thatcher, to speak for themselves. Grappling with the multilayered identities that have always come with being European, Europe places the Europe of today in a long arc of history stretching back more than 2,500 years.

Contributions to Public Administration and Public Policy

This book examines metropolitan governance and interjurisdictional collaboration in Latin America, focusing on the “metropolitan problem” created by fragmented jurisdictions that produce inefficiency, inequity, and weak coordination. Moving beyond traditional metropolitan governments, it highlights interjurisdictional collaboration as a middle ground, drawing on and adapting the Institutional Collective Action (ICA) framework to contexts marked by weak rule of law and informal institutions. The book proposes that collaboration choices depend on the problem’s nature, actors’ preferences and capacities, and institutional settings. Through case studies of Bogotá, Buenos Aires, Mexico City, Santiago, and São Paulo, it shows how inequalities, wealth disparities, institutional frameworks, and leadership shape collaboration, particularly in transportation and environmental policy. Ultimately, it advances a dynamic view of metropolitan governance as evolving institutions that balance risks, costs, and benefits, offering a new research agenda for urban governance in Latin America.

Metropolitan Governance and Social Inequality in Latin America

Law in Global Contexts

This book offers an analysis of Union citizenship, one of the key legal concepts of EU law. Introduced in the Maastricht Treaty, EU citizenship was initially seen as a beautiful but empty symbol. Yet, in the three decades of its existence, Union citizenship developed into one of the cornerstones of the modern-day constitutional structure of the EU. To understand the dynamics behind EU citizenship's ongoing development and appreciate its current role in Union law, this monograph analyses various facets of Union citizenship seen through the same theoretical lens of autonomisation. The book suggests that EU citizenship is currently undergoing autonomisation to a considerable extent. Being an open-ended concept, Union citizenship possesses significant intrinsic forces that drive its expansion and elaboration. Having already gone an impressive distance in its legal development, EU citizenship is likely to grow further, but its ultimate destiny will depend on the future of the European project.

Fentanyl is a first-person, insider account of how the crisis consumed the Biden Administration amid a series of other national security emergencies. It follows Jake Braun, a senior White House official, and his colleagues while they scramble to respond to the epidemic. As Mexican cartels ruthlessly executed their most radical transformation in 50 years, Braun and his colleagues architected the first U.S. government wide strategy to combat fentanyl in history. The effort brought him to Mexico to meet with Mexican agents who kick down cartel doors for the U.S. government there. He also spent time with data analytics wizards buried in nondescript offices in Virginia suburbs that hunt down Chinese fentanyl precursor chemicals on the Dark Web. He even takes a detour to gather intelligence from Russian migrants in U.S. detention facilities that migrated through cartel-controlled areas of Mexico. In the process, Braun uncovered the remarkable transformation cartels in Mexico underwent over the last 50 years. They morphed from narco-empires the size of Fortune 50 companies specializing in marijuana and cocaine to ones specializing in human migration and, separately, fentanyl. After much painstaking effort, the Biden Administration successfully executed the most sweeping takedown of cartel leadership and fentanyl infrastructure since the crisis began. Due to the efforts of heroic agents, intelligence officers and national security experts, the leviathan U.S. government is now marshaled in ways never before imagined against the Chinese chemical companies and cartels propagating the fentanyl epidemic. Further, the strategy seems to be working. Just a year after it was kicked off, the fentanyl fatalities dropped nearly 37%. Yet the crisis persists. Finally, Braun draws on his unique experience combating the epidemic to outline how the U.S. government can once and for all end the fentanyl crisis in America.

Government Performance Management

The government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was as ambitious as it was contentious - and few policy areas illustrate this as well as gun control, an area which, since 2019, has seen the implementation of significant new laws: the freezing of handgun sales, the prohibition of a long list of 'assault-style' rifles, and the creation of what critics have labelled a "back door" gun registry. But have these changes made Canadians safer? What can they tell us about gun control policy, or public policy more broadly? In Off Target, Noah S. Schwartz evaluates these new laws, drawing on interviews with law enforcement, community workers and key stakeholders, as well as publicly available data and scholarship. Finding little evidence that these policies have made Canadians safer, Schwartz documents the harm that they have done to businesses, leisure communities and individuals across Canada. He argues that rather than enforcing strict gun laws, policymakers will get more bang for their buck investing resources in less glamorous but more effective tools like community policing and violence interruption programs. These programs tackle the root causes of crime while providing support and employment to the communities suffering the most from gun violence.

Constitutional Law in Contemporary America: Volume 1

This book provides a comprehensive introduction to operational excellence (OPEX) and its potential benefits in the public sector, offering a practical roadmap for preparation, implementation, and long-term sustainability. Through real-world case studies from diverse public sector organisations - including healthcare, law enforcement, higher education, and local government - it illustrates how various OPEX methodologies can drive efficiency and effectiveness.

While many public sector organisations have embraced methodologies like Kaizen and Lean, sustaining OPEX initiatives remains a challenge. Few have fully integrated Lean Six Sigma due to cultural resistance, a lack of formal infrastructure, limited skills and competencies, insufficient visionary and strategic leadership, low awareness of the integrated approach, and limited strategic alignment. Senior management often fails to prioritise OPEX, leaving critical improvement opportunities untapped. This book addresses these challenges, equipping leaders with the knowledge and tools to successfully implement and sustain OPEX in the public sector.

Aid effectiveness remains a global concern, especially given most developing countries’ reliance on foreign aid for their development efforts. The aid effectiveness agenda, shaped by a series of international conferences, declarations, and high-level forums, notably the Paris Declaration, sought to transform global aid practices. This book offers a detailed examination of the global aid effectiveness agenda in the context of Bangladesh, one of the world’s leading aid recipients. Drawing on significant in-depth interviews and a wide range of robust document analysis, it presents empirical evidence on how the global aid effectiveness agenda fails when implemented at the country level, particularly in developing economies such as Bangladesh. The findings of this volume contribute to the understanding of development cooperation in aid-dependent contexts and provide scholarly insights into devising actionable strategies to improve coordination and enhance aid effectiveness in recipient countries. It is intended for scholars and postgraduate students in economics, development studies, political science, public administration, social welfare, sociology, international relations, and area studies. It will also be intriguing to policymakers, practitioners, donor agency officials, and other stakeholders involved in aid administration and management.Prof. Dr. Abdullah-Al-Mamun

This book provides an insightful, thought-provoking study of one of the world's most important courts. The European Court of Justice has had a transformative effect on EU Law but this has not been without controversy. This book explores criticisms levelled against the Court, examining whether concerns over judicial activism, unconventional interpretative methods, conflicts with national courts, and over-reach are justified. Drawing on the expertise of leading commentators, it offers various perspectives from across the spectrum of EU Law. The contributions included in the volume go beyond a legal analysis seeking to provide an understanding of the political and social context in which the Court operates and the wider impact of its judgments.
