Actors and agency in global social governance / edited by A. Kaasch and K. Martens. – New York : Oxford Univ. Press, 2015. – XXII, 254 p.
NLB call number: 1И//645706(039)
Actors and Agency in Global Social Governance seeks to advance our understanding of the global dimension of social policy by applying the notion of global social governance on actors, their relations to each other, and their pathways as well as their footprints of influence in the specific policy fields of social concern in which they are active. Focusing on a broad array of individual and corporate global social policy actors, ranging from internationally operating intergovernmental organizations to state formations and NGOs, the contributions to this volume draw a fuller picture of agency in global social policy than what current accounts provide. It considers the multiple facets of individual scope and legitimacy for a particular actor in conjunction with the configuration of global social governance as characterised by multi-centred and multi-scaled obstacles as well as diverse forms of collaboration.

From Eastern Partnership to the Association : a legal and polit. analysis / edited by N. Šišková ; pref. by Š. Füle. – Newcastle upon Tyne : Cambridge Scholars Publ., 2014. – XIII, 305 p.
NLB call number: 1И//648903(039)
This unique book, representing the main output of the Jean Monnet Multilateral Research Project granted by the European Commission, is dedicated to the legal and political dimension of the European Union policy towards its Eastern neighbours, namely Ukraine, Belarus, Moldavia, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Armenia.
The Eastern Partnership clearly occupies a privileged position in the EU's external relations and constitutes an important “Eastern axis” of the European Neighbourhood Policy. The book examines relevant material from a broad perspective, and attention is paid to the in-depth analysis of Eastern Partnership Agreements and the new Association agreements, examining their place in the External Relations Law of the EU and the legal mechanisms of their operation. In this respect, comparisons with the previous Association agreements with the states of the Central Europe are also made here. A great part of the book is also dedicated to an analysis of the issues of human rights, the rule of law, and legal approximation as a key element of the acceptation of duties of the association countries.

Giumelli, F. The success of sanctions : lessons learned from the EU experience / F. Giumelli. – Farnham ; Burlington : Ashgate, 2013. – XIІІ, 251 p.
NLB call number: 1И//648884(039)
The effectiveness of sanctions cannot purely be measured by the way they change the behaviour of their intended target. The degree to which sanctions constrain a rogue state's behaviour and the signals they send to future targets should also be prime considerations. In this thought provoking book Francesco Giumelli measures the true effectiveness of EU sanctions against a range of states including Belarus, Zimbabwe, Moldova, Uzbekistan, the USA and China. He demonstrates that focussing purely on behavioural change is limiting, especially when considering the actions and motivations of an international organisation, and develops a process to evaluate the direct and indirect impact of EU sanctions. Giumelli demonstrates the many different ways sanctions have been used by the EU to produce positive direct and indirect results and provides a multi-level framework to assess the success of sanctions in the future.
Labour mobility in the enlarged single European market / edited by J. E. Dølvik, L. Eldring. – Bingley : Emerald, 2017. – IX, 244 p.
NLB call number: 1И//645420(039)
The 2004 reunification of Eastern and Western Europe and the subsequent economic crisis caused a surge in intra-European labour mobility and a profound shift in preceding patterns of migration in Europe. While previous decades of European integration brought very modest cross-border flows of labour, the past decade has engendered the largest European movements of labour in modern time – mostly from East to West, but eventually also from South to North. In a situation of record high European unemployment, this has sparked controversy about the very notion of free movement, one of the basic foundations of the European Community, and has unleashed heated debates about the conditions, causes, and consequences of large-scale labour migration for receiving as well as sending societies. Against this background, this volume of Comparative Social Research will contribute to improve our understanding of the drivers, mechanisms, and effects of the past decade’s surge in cross-border labour mobility and work related migration within EU/EEA. The volume includes comparative analyses that illuminate how different market dynamics and regulation shape the patterns of mobility and their effects for the workers, actors and societies involved.
Nemeth, E. Cultural security : еvaluating the power of culture in intern. affairs / E. Nemeth. – London : Imp. College Press, 2015. – XXII, 289 p.
NLB call number: 1И//649331(039)
This is the first book in the literature that touches on the interrelation of the financial value, politics, and security of cultural property and suggests the implications for the power of culture in global affairs. The intersection of these issues forms the basis for a new field which this book examines – cultural security. As part of the changing significance of cultural property in foreign relations, Cultural Security assesses corresponding security threats and opportunities for diplomacy.
This book will take readers through the concepts and issues surrounding cultural property, cultural currency and cultural power, leaving readers with invaluable insights on the political economy of cultural property and the resulting source of “alternative power” in global affairs.
Parker, D. International valuation standards : a guide to the valuation of real property assets / D. Parker. – Chichester : Wiley Blackwell, 2016. – XXІ, 243 p.
NLB call number: 1И//649301(039)
The book is an essential road map to using the new International Valuation Standards (IVSs) in everyday practice for real estate assets, explains their content, application and operation. It shows how to value assets including property, plant and equipment and is written in an explanatory style using commonly understood business English with as little jargon as possible. It takes a thematic format, focusing on the application of IVSs to investment property and owner-occupied property with the author addressing valuation instruction, operation and reporting under IVSs.
Patnaik, A. Central Asia : geopolitics, security and stability / A. Patnaik ; Maulana Abul Kalam Azad Inst. of Asian Studies. – London ; New York : Routledge, 2016. – XVIII, 237 p.
NLB call number: 1И//649644(039)
Throughout history, Central Asia has formed an important strategic link between the East and the West and been described as the ‘great pivot’ in the early-twentieth century.
This book looks at the relations between the Central Asian states and major external powers. It shows how these nations have kept the fragile geopolitics of the region free of the so-called ‘New Great Game’. The volume evaluates the roles of major powers such as Russia, United States, China, Iran, and Turkey, as well as India and its ‘Silk Road Strategy’. It also compares the regional geopolitics of Central Asia with its neighbour Caucasus. The study indicates how, despite limited inter-state cooperation, the region has prevented conflicts and wars, due to which these states have been able to enjoy greater strategic autonomy in their dealings with other countries.
The book will benefit scholars and researchers of international relations, political and strategic studies, area studies, and Central Asian studies.

Schelkle, W. The political economy of monetary solidarity : understanding the euro experiment / W. Schelkle. – New York : Oxford Univ. Press, 2017. – XV, 370 p.
NLB call number: 1И//649371(039)
Creating the European monetary union between diverse and unequal nation states is arguably one of the biggest social experiments in history. This book offers an explanation of how the euro experiment came about and was sustained despite a severe crisis, and provides a comparison with the monetary-financial history of the US.
The euro experiment can be understood as risk-sharing through a currency that is issued by a supranational central bank. A single currency shares liquidity risks by creating larger markets for all financial assets. A single monetary policy responds to business cycles in the currency area as a whole rather than managing the path of one dominant economy. Mechanisms of risk-sharing become institutions of monetary solidarity if they are consciously maintained, but they will periodically face opposition in member states.
Women's human rights and the elimination of discrimination = Les droits des femmes et l'élimination de la discrimination / edited by M. Jänterä-Jareborg, H. Tigroudja. – Leiden ; Boston : Brill Nijhoff, 2016. – XXXIII, 812 p. – (The law books of the Academy = Les livres de droit de l'Académie / The Hague Acad. of Intern. Law ; vol. 17).
NLB call number: 1И//650005(039)
Despite global undertakings to safeguard the full enjoyment of human rights, culture, traditional practices and religion are widely used to discriminate against women. In this volume 17 scholars approach women’s human rights globally, regionally and nationally, combining the perspectives of public and private international law in a hitherto unique manner. Comprehensive legal, culture-based and theoretical overviews are combined with analyses of topical issues, such as unbalanced sex-ratios, intercountry adoption, women as refugees or as “surrogate mothers”, violence against women and cross-border enforcement of protection orders.
