"De Jean de Berry, l'histoire a retenu l'image d'un prince mécène et bibliophile, ardent défenseur de la couronne au temps de Charles V et de Charles VI. Doté d'une principauté au centre du royaume, tenue en apanage, il a développé une administration dont les contours ont déjà été reconnus. Sa chancellerie, en revanche, a peu retenu l'attention. C'est autour des pratiques de l'écrit documentaire, actes en tête, que s'organise la présente publication. Celle-ci se veut une contribution à une meilleure connaissance de l'acte princier des XIVe et XVe siècles, un domaine qui, s'il a été illustré par divers historiens et diplomatistes, ne l'a été jusqu'à maintenant que de façon discontinue et incomplète. Par l'extension géographique et la variété de ses pouvoirs, par sa proximité avec la personne royale (il a été successivement fils, frère, oncle de roi), par la durée de son activité (une soixantaine d'années, de 1356 à 1416), Jean de Berry a légué un corpus central pour l'étude de l'acte princier. Un acte princier qui devient, à l'époque, une pièce importante de la production diplomatique et, par la captation de traits royaux, un outil efficace de la genèse de l'État moderne et de l'apprentissage de la sujétion. Organisation, recrutement, fonctionnement de la chancellerie, gestion de la mémoire des actes, traits internes et externes des productions, manifestations du pouvoir dans les titulatures et les sceaux, méthodes d'édition ... sont scrutés dans les contributions de ce volume, non seulement pour Berry, mais aussi, de façon délibérément comparative, pour plusieurs de ses contemporains (princes anglais et navarrais, ducs de Bourbon, d'Anjou et de Bretagne)."--Page 4 of cover.

For five years during World War II, Denmark was occupied by Germany. While the Danish reaction to this period of its history has been extensively discussed in Danish-language publications, it has not until now received a thorough treatment in English. Set in the context of modern Danish foreign relations, and tracing the country's responses to successive crises and wars in the region, Danish Reactions to German Occupation brings a full overview of the occupation to an English-speaking audience. Holbraad carefully dissects the motivations and ideologies driving conduct during the occupation, and his authoritative coverage of the preceding century provides a crucial link to understanding the forces behind Danish foreign policy divisions. Analysing the conduct of a traumatised and strategically exposed small state bordering on an aggressive great power, the book traces a development from reluctant cooperation to active resistance. In doing so, Holbraad surveys and examines the subsequent, and not yet quite finished, debate among Danish historians about this contested period, which takes place between those siding with the resistance and those more inclined to justify limited cooperation with the occupiers--and who sometimes even condone various acts of collaboration.

"The European Union is a key participant in international organisations with its involvement taking different forms, ranging from full membership to mere observer. Moreover, there is also not only one status of observer, but different ones depending on the constituent charters of the organisations. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the participation of the EU in five international organisations: the UN, the ILO, the WTO, the WHO and the WIPO. It identifies its role and influence in diverse areas of global governance, such as foreign policy, peace, human rights, social rights, trade, health and intellectual property. EU and international experts, diplomats and scholars have contributed to this book to give an overview of the different aspects linked to the participation of the EU in these organisations and to the coordination that takes place internally with its Member States. They also examine the EU's actual influence in the various areas and its contribution to global governance. The combination of these two dimensions allows the work to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the participation of the EU in these five international organisations. The book provides valuable insights for scholars, policymakers and is useful for representatives of other international organisations and civil society actors."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

"The subject of this work is the rise and fall of Europe's aim to rebuild its position in global politics after the Cold War. With success in the unification of Europe and the subsequent deepening and enlargement of its integration, the Union set itself the ambitious task of becoming a global power, even a superpower. However, starting with the first decade of the XXI century, we have witnessed a rapid erosion of the international position of Europe (the EU). The author carefully analyses the causes of the EU's failure in pursuing the role of European representative, Europe thereby pretending to the role of one of three world powers. Besides cultural and demographic trends, the author identifies the main factors leading to this failure: the divergent interests of individual European powers, their incapacity to act in a geopolitical context and the rapid erosion of Europe's civilizational identity"--
