English | 2015 | pages: 81 | ISBN: 1472807316 | PDF | 13,4 mb
This gripping study offers key insights into the tactics, leadership, combat performance, and subsequent reputations of Union and Confederate mounted units fighting in three pivotal cavalry actions of the Civil War – Second Bull Run/Manassas (1862), Buckland Mills (1863), and Tom’s Brook (1864). During the intense, sprawling conflict that was the Civil War, both Union and Confederate forces fielded substantial numbers of cavalry, which carried out the crucial tasks of reconnaissance, raiding, and conveying messages. The perception was that cavalry’s effectiveness on the battlefield would be drastically reduced in this age of improved mass infantry firepower. This book demonstrates how cavalry’s lethal combination of mobility and dismounted firepower meant it was still very much a force to be reckoned with in battle. It also charts the swing in the qualitative difference of the cavalry forces fielded by the two sides as the war progressed, as the enormous initial superiority enjoyed by Confederate cavalry was gradually eroded, through the Union’s outstanding improvements in training and tactics, and the bold and enterprising leadership of men such as Philip Sheridan.

Free Download David Brown, "The European Union, counter terrorism and police co-operation, 1991-2007: Unsteady foundations?"
English | 2010 | ISBN: 0719074649 | EPUB | pages: 224 | 1.2 mb
This volume examines the underlying foundations on which the European Union’s counter-terrorism and police co-operation policies have been built since the inception of the Treaty on European Union, questioning both the effectiveness and legitimacy of the EU’s efforts in these two critically important security areas. Given the importance of such developments to the wider credibility of the EU as a security actor, this volume adopts a more structured analysis of key stages of the implementation process. These include the establishment of objectives, both at the wider level of internal security co-operation and in terms of both counter-terrorism and policing, particularly in relation to the European Police Office, the nature of information exchange and the ‘value added’ by legislative and operational developments at the European level. It also offers a more accurate appraisal of the official characterisation of the terrorist threat within the EU as a ‘matter of common concern’. In doing so, not only does it raise important questions about the utility of the European level for organising internal security co-operation, but it also provides a more comprehensive assessment of the EU’s activities throughout the lifetime of the Third Pillar, placing in a wider and more realistic context the EU’s reaction to the events of 11 September 2001 and the greater prominence of Islamist terrorism.

Free Download The European Union and the Evolving Architectures of International Economic Agreements by Ottavio Quirico, Katarzyna Kwapisz Williams
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 326 Pages | ISBN : 981992328X | 9 MB
The European Union (‘EU’) is promoting a suite of innovations in international economic regulation-among them, reforms for secure and sustainable investment, a comprehensive approach to the mutual recognition of professional qualifications, a viable carbon border adjustment mechanism, heightened intellectual property rights protection, the arm’s length principle in taxation, and an increased commitment to non-economic vales. Through a critical analysis of key regulations and policies, this volume explores the evolving architectures of international economic agreements in light of EU practice. A comprehensive analysis indicates that novelties are rooted in geoeconomic considerations, through which a fundamental shift is underway towards the adoption of comprehensive bilateral trade agreements. Whilst innovation has the potential to significantly harmonise cross-border regulatory frameworks, it can also trigger significant fractures, particularly when applied restrictively and asymmetrically. Arguably, the ‘Brussels effect’ will to a certain extent foster a progressive development of international economic regulation, while in some respects being constrained by the status quo of the international economic regime.

Free Download Taking the Soviet Union Apart Room by Room: Domestic Architecture before and after 1991 (NIU Series in Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Studies) by Kateryna Malaia
English | August 15, 2023 | ISBN: 1501771205 | True EPUB | 204 pages | 24.3 MB
Taking the Soviet Union Apart Room by Room investigates what happens to domestic spaces, architecture, and the lives of urbanites during a socioeconomic upheaval. Kateryna Malaia analyzes how Soviet and post-Soviet city dwellers, navigating a crisis of inadequate housing and extreme social disruption between the late 1980s and 2000s, transformed their dwellings as their countries transformed around them. Soviet infrastructure remained but, in their domestic spaces, urbanites transitioned to post-Soviet citizens.

Free Download Peter Mair, Jacques Thomassen, "Political Representation and European Union Governance (Journal of European Public Policy Series)"
English | 2010 | ISBN: 0415582946, 0415849993 | EPUB | pages: 146 | 1.2 mb
This book confronts and discusses different conceptions of political representation with respect to their application to the system of multi-level governance in the European Union. Political representation is an essentially contested concept. Its meaning has evolved with the development of representative democracy at the level of the nation state, and normative theories of political representation often evolved as a reflection on developing practices rather than the other way around.
