Europe Recast: A History of European Union Desmond Dinan The Euro: A Concise Introduction to European Monetary Integration 3RD EDITION Ever Closer Union: An Introduction to European Integration “A superb, eminently readable history of the European Union. The book is a gem. Dinan’s book is a good read for those of us who know the story, and an even better one for students who do not.” —Steven B. Wolinetz, International Journal “A fascinating account ... full of idealism, bureaucratic intrigue, personalities and political entrepreneurs, ideological struggles, and fluctuating international complexities and environments. Dinan masterfully brings these all together to provide an excellent treatment of the European Community’s and later the European Union’s institutional and policy development.” —Peter H. Loedel, EUSA Review Europe Recast tells the story of European integration from its modern origins in the 1940s to the challenges of the new century. Dinan deftly captures the dynamics of the evolving debates about European unity. Examining the factors and forces that led to today’s union, he brings ideas, interests, and actors to life. He has written a book that, combining an authoritative treatment of the subject and an engaging style, is an essential guide to unraveling the complexity of the EU system in the context of modern European history. Desmond Dinan is Jean Monnet Professor of public policy at George Mason University. 2004/373 pages LC: 2003018370 ISBN: 978-1-58826-205-9 hc $59.95 ISBN: 978-1-58826-230-1 pb $23.50 No rights in Europe ➤Download an excerpt at www.rienner.com Madeleine O. Hosli “An excellent concise introduction to the origins and workings of the euro.” —Amy Verdun “Hosli succinctly explains all of the key issues necessary to understanding the origins of EMU, the current debates, and the future implications of the euro project. This book is an important contribution to all those who teach about the European Union.” —Peter H. Loedel Tackling the alphabet soup of European Union treaties, structures, and policies, this straightforward introduction demystifies the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU). Hosli first traces the history of monetary integration in Western Europe and discusses the political and economic factors that led ultimately to the establishment of EMU and the euro. Then—in language accessible to the nonspecialist—she explains how it actually works. Ranging from institutions to performance to the impact of the euro both within Europe and on the international monetary system, she provides a welcome primer on this new phenomenon in the global political economy. Madeleine O. Hosli is associate professor of international relations at the University of Leiden. 2005/126 pages LC: 2005011007 ISBN: 978-1-58826-376-6 hc $38/£23.95 ISBN: 978-1-58826-352-0 pb $16.95/£9.95 ➤Download an excerpt at www.rienner.com Praise for the previous editions: “A n essential foundation text for the study of the politics of the European Union....

And what is the significance of this development? Dorothee Heisenberg traces the origins of the stringent EU privacy laws, the responses of the United States and other governments, and the reactions and concerns of a range of interest groups. Analyzing the negotiation of the original 1995 EU Data Protection Directive, the 2000 Safe Harbor Agreement, and the 2004 Passenger Name Record Agreement, Heisenberg shows that the degree to which business vs. consumer interests were factored into governments’ positions was the source not only of US-EU conflicts, but also of their resolution. She finds, too, that public opinion in Europe and the US has been remarkably similar—and thus cannot account for official US reaction to the issues raised by the EU privacy directive. More broadly, Negotiating Privacy sheds important light on both the relationship between the US and the EU and the relationship between domestic issues and the development of international rules. Dorothee Heisenberg is associate professor of European studies at the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies. 2005/211 pages LC: 2005005663 ISBN: 978-1-58826-380-3 hc $49.95/£31.95 iPolitics: Global Challenges in the Information Age Muslim Women in Southern Spain: Stepdaughters of Al-Andalus Gunther Dietz and Nadia El-Shohoumi “This book goes a long way in challenging ... simplistic depictions through analyzing the diversity within the Muslim community, and amongst Muslim women’s life-worlds.... The issues discussed are not restricted to the Spanish context, and so provide fodder for discussion on the status of immigrant Muslim women throughout the Western world.” —Helen Vallianatos, Canadian Review of Sociology & Anthropology Gunther Dietz and Nadia El-Shohoumi delve into the worlds of Muslim women in southern Spain, examining their religious beliefs and practices, family and community life, professional training and labor market integration, and the dimensions and sources of the discrimination they face daily. The authors find that the Muslim women typically are viewed as “stepdaughters” by the Spanish society in which they reside and often by their communities of origin, as well. Dietz and El- Shohoumi also critically assess the potential within the host society for successfully counteracting both the gender-based and the ethno-religious discrimination to which the women are subject. Gunther Dietz is in the anthropology faculty at the University of Granada. Nadia El-Shohoumi is research fellow at the University of Granada’s Laboratorio de Estudios Interculturales. 2005/189 pages w/8 color photos ISBN: 978-0-9702838-5-6 pb $22.50/£13.95 Distributed for the Center for Comparative Immigration Studies at the University of California, San Diego 18 • Lynne Rienner Publishers www.rienner.com • 19
