The European Union is facing the worst existential crisis in its 60-year history. At the same time, it is confronted with old and new challenges in its environment that call for joint action. But how do matters stand with the EU’s capacity to act? Does the EU manage to effectively combine the different components of its external relations-such as trade, development aid, and security policy-better than it did in the past? How is the EU’s external action determined by the internal socio-economic and political crises in its member states?

English | June 20, 2018 | ISBN: 3319927434 | 239 pages | PDF | 2.25 Mb
This book examines Anglo-Australian naval relations between 1945-75, a period of great change for both Australia and Great Britain and their respective navies. It explores the cultural and historical ties between the Royal Navy and the Royal Australian Navy (RAN), the efficacy of communications between the services, and the importance of personal relations to the overall inter-service relationship. The author assesses the dilemmas faced by Great Britain associated with that nation’s declining power, and the impact of the retreat from ‘East of Suez’ on the strategic relationship between the United Kingdom and Australia. The book also considers operational co-operation between the Royal Navy and the RAN including conflicts such as the Korean War, the Malayan Emergency, and confrontation with Indonesia, as well as peacetime pursuits such as port visits and the testing of atomic weapons in the 1950s. Co-operation in matters of personnel and training are also dealt with in great detail,along with the co-operation between the Royal Navy and the RAN in equipment procurement and design and the increased ability of the RAN to look to non-British sources for equipment procurement. The book considers the impact of stronger Australian-American ties on the RAN and appraises the role it played in the conflict in Vietnam.

Free Download Sandra Bärnreuther, "Substantial Relations: Making Global Reproductive Medicine in Postcolonial India"
English | ISBN: 1501758195 | 2021 | 192 pages | AZW3 | 2 MB
Substantial Relations examines global reproductive medicine in India, focusing on in vitro fertilization. Since the 1970s, India has played a central but shifting role in shaping global reproductive medicine―from a provider of raw material, to a producer of knowledge and technology, to a creator of a thriving medical market that attracts patients from all over the world. Relying on archival material and oral history, Substantial Relations traces the path of this transnational historical trajectory. This book also examines the contemporary making of IVF in Delhi. Drawing on ethnographic research in homes, hospitals, and laboratories, Sandra Bärnreuther provides deep insights into the intricacies of clinical life and everyday experience by depicting IVF users’ quest for offspring and their fears of establishing unwanted ties, as well as the minute engagements of clinicians and laboratory staff with reproductive substances.

Free Download M. Z. A. Shakeb, "Relations of Golkonda With Iran: Diplomacy, Ideas, and Commerce 1518-1687"
English | ISBN: 9384082910 | 2017 | 245 pages | PDF | 1318 KB
Between the fifteenth and seventeenth centuries, the Deccan sultanates of southern India lay at the crossroads of maritime and agrarian empires of the early modern world. While the artistic and architectural merits of the Deccan’s Indo-Islamic courts are wellknown, the region’s unique historical relationship to Iran remains unexamined, often subsumed under the shadow of the Mughal Empire. This volume explores the diplomatic connections and intellectual linkages of the Golkonda sultanate with Safavid Iran and Mughal Hindustan. Complementing studies of early modern empires, it examines a breadth of Persian manuscripts, epistolary correspondence, archival documents, and European travel accounts from the Deccan. It is one of the first of its kind to explore the movement of knowledge, talent, and people in the early modern world from the perspective of a non-imperial, regional polity. Regional sultanates were not merely receivers of statecraft, religion, and politics from large empires, but also a critical site where diplomatic negotiations and new forms of intellectual exchange transpired and bore upon broader shifts in the eastern Islamic world.

For better or worse – be it militarily, politically, economically, technologically, or culturally – Americans have had a profound role in shaping the wider world beyond them. The United States has been a savior to some, a curse to others, but either way such views are often based on a caricature of American actions and intentions. American foreign relations, then, is a subject of immense global importance that provokes strong emotions and much debate, but often based on deep misunderstanding.
This Very Short Introduction analyzes the key episodes, themes, and individuals in the history of American foreign relations. While discussing diplomacy and the periods of war that have shaped national and international history, it also addresses such topics as industrialization, globalization, imperialism, and immigration. Covering the Revolution through the War on Terror, it examines the connections between domestic politics and foreign affairs as well as the importance of ideals and values. Sharply written and highly engaging, American Foreign Relations offers a clear-eyed narrative of America’s role in the world and how it has evolved over time.

Free Download Theorien der Public Relations: Grundlagen und Perspektiven der PR-Forschung By Ulrike Röttger (auth.), Ulrike Röttger (eds.)
2004 | 264 Pages | ISBN: 3531140442 | PDF | 12 MB
Was ist PR? Wer braucht PR? Abstrakte Interpretationen, die diese Fragen beantworten und die die Funktionen und Leistungen des Kommunikationsmanagements beschreiben und erklären könnten, liegen bislang nur fragmentarisch vor. Zwar existieren in unterschiedlichen wissenschaftlichen Disziplinen Befunde zu Public Relations, überwiegend stehen diese Erkenntnisse jedoch unverbunden nebeneinander und können für sich allein genommen PR immer nur partiell erfassen. Der Sammelband setzt bei den Defiziten der PR-Theoriebildung an: Neben einer kritischen Bilanz der aktuellen Theoriedebatte sollen alternative theoretische Bezugsrahmen vorgestellt und neue Wege zu PR-Theorien aufgezeigt werden.
