Product Description
Analyzing some 30 policy decisions across three countries and five decades, Sieglinde Gstohl considers why some countries continue to be "reluctant Europeans". Typically, small and highly industrialized states are expected to be more likely to integrate than are larger or less advanced countries. Why, then, did Norway, Sweden, and Switzerland choose for so long not to join the European Communities? And what accounts today for their differing levels of integration? Gstohl argues that economic interests alone do not sufficiently explain attitudes toward integration, but rather coexist with - and are often dominated by - domestic political and geohistorical constraints. The lure of improved access to EU markets may fade in the shadow of domestic institutions and societal cleavages, foreign policy traditions, and experiences of foreign rule that touch on feelings of national identity. Thoroughly addressing these issues, this book offers key insights into the problems associated with deepening integration in an enlarging European Union. ... Read more

Product Description
The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.
Rich in titles on English life and social history, this collection spans the world as it was known to eighteenth-century historians and explorers. Titles include a wealth of travel accounts and diaries, histories of nations from throughout the world, and maps and charts of a world that was still being discovered. Students of the War of American Independence will find fascinating accounts from the British side of conflict.

Product Description
The main aim of this work is to explore the impact of frequent referendums and initiatives upon the Swiss political system. Various institutions evolved specifically to cope with the repeated challenging of government decisions in the arena of direct democracy. Specific behaviour patterns on the part of various political protagonists can be linked to referendums. In addition, numerous Swiss parties and interest groups rose to power or prominence on the back of the referendum. This study identifies phenomena which may occur in politics that employ referenda less frequently. ... Read more
