Humanities & Social SciencesOctober 2005Constructing the path to eastern enlargement
The uneven policy impact of EU identity
by Ulrich Sedelmeier, Emil Kirchner, Thomas Christiansen
This book examines the two main dimensions of the European Union's enlargement to eight central and eastern European countries (CEECs) in 2004. Why did the EU agree to enlargement, despite the costs for some incumbents who have veto-power? How can we explain the (uneven) pattern of accommodation of the CEECs' preferences in concrete policies? Combining in-depth empirical analysis with an original theoretical framework, which draws on insights from constructivism and historical institutionalism, this book focuses on the EU's discursively constructed role-identity vis-à-vis the CEECs. This role-identity forged a group of policy advocates inside the European Commission, who promoted the CEECs' preferences inside the EU, and induced a path-dependence into the enlargement process. The impact of EU identity on concrete policies was less direct. Case studies on trade liberalisation, regulatory alignment, and foreign policy consultations demonstrate that sectoral policy paradigms are a key factor that mediates the influence of the policy advocates on specific policy areas. ;

Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 2014Children's rights, Eastern enlargement and the EU human rights regime
by Ingi Iusmen, Dimitris Papadimitriou, Simon Bulmer, Andrew Geddes, Peter Humphreys
This book critically examines how and why Eastern enlargement has impacted on EU human rights policy. By drawing on the EU's intervention in human rights provision in Romania before 2007, it is demonstrated that the feedback effects of this intervention have led to the emergence of an EU child rights policy. Eastern enlargement has also raised the profile of Roma protection, international adoptions and mental health at the EU level. The impact of these developments has been further reinforced by the constitutional and legal provisions included in the Lisbon Treaty. It is argued that Eastern enlargement has led to the emergence of a more robust and well-defined EU human rights regime in terms of its scope and institutional clout. This book makes a substantial contribution to the scholarship on EU enlargement, Europeanisation and EU human rights policy by providing empirical evidence for the emergence and persistence of EU institutional and policy structures upholding human rights. ;

Humanities & Social SciencesAugust 2014EU enlargement, the clash of capitalisms and the European social dimension
by Paul Copeland, Dimitris Papadimitriou, Simon Bulmer, Andrew Geddes, Peter Humphreys
At the heart of the European integration process is the political economy debate over whether the EU should be a market-making project, or if it should combine this with integration in employment and social policy. What has been the impact of the 2004 and 2007 rounds of enlargement upon the political economy of European integration? EU enlargement, the clash of capitalisms and the European social dimension analyses the impact of the 2004 and 2007 enlargements upon the politics of European integration within EU employment and social policy. This book analyses the main policy negotiations in the field and analyses the political positions and contributions of the Central and Eastern European Member States. Through analyses of the negotiations of the Services Directive, the revision of the Working Time Directive and the Europe 2020 poverty target, the book argues that the addition of the Central and Eastern European states has strengthened liberal forces at the EU level and undermined integration with EU employment and social policy. ;

August 2024Unsere Jahre auf Fellowship Point
Roman | Über eine lebenslange, innige Freundschaft zweier großartiger Frauen
by Alice Elliott Dark, Margarita Ruppel, Marieke Heimburger
Ein bewegender, empathischer, unvergesslicher Roman über zwei Freundinnen, der das 20. Jahrhundert überspannt, deren Leben sehr unterschiedlich verlaufen sind und die doch ein lebenslanges, tiefes Verständnis füreinander verbindet. Über achtzig Sommer haben Agnes Lee und Polly Wister zusammen verbracht, in den Sommerhäusern ihrer Familien auf Fellowship Point an der Küste Maines inmitten unberührter Natur. Auch jetzt, im Alter, ist ihre lebenslange Freundschaft unverbrüchlich, trotz ihrer sehr unterschiedlichen Lebenswege: Polly hat sich ihr Leben lang immer zuallererst um andere gekümmert, um ihren Mann Dick, der Karriere als Philosophieprofessor gemacht hat, und um ihre drei Söhne, denen sie ein behagliches Zuhause und eine unbeschwerte Kindheit ermöglicht hat. Agnes hingegen hat nie geheiratet, stets alleine gelebt und sich ihrer Arbeit gewidmet: Als Kinderbuchautorin hat sie große Erfolge gefeiert, und nun drängt ihre Lektorin sie, ihre Memoiren zu schreiben. Dabei kommen schmerzhafte Erinnerungen an die Oberfläche und eine tiefe, unerfüllte Sehnsucht, die sie lange verdrängt hatte …

MedicineManual Trigger Point Therapy and Dry Needling for Chronic Pain
Myofascial medicine as an approach to an unresolved challenge
by Beat Dejung
Medicine for the relief of pain has made little progress in the last 50 years. 16% of our population claim to suffer from chronic pain, for which no lasting help can be found, despite years of treatment by different doctors. Trigger point therapy experts have integrated myofascial techniques into their everyday therapy in recent decades and through this they have achieved good results even with complex and chronic problems. In this book, instructors from the Interest Group for Myofascial Trigger Point Therapy (IMTT) in Switzerland present 33 complex cases of patients with chronic pain, whose pain they were able to relieve permanently with manual trigger point therapy and dry needling. Using these case studies, doublepage spreads with an educational, uniform layout clearly present the diagnosis, pathophysiology and chronifcation of myofascial pain syndromes and, in conclusion, describe encouraging and surprising successes despite previous therapy resistance.
