Overview

This edited volume proposes an innovative approach to European Integration by combining economics and political theory in its study of public goods. The contributors review such elements as a neo-medieval governance, the merits of a new European Republic, and, alongside Europe, include South East Asia in its discussions. By addressing different issues within the overarching approach of public goods and the republican paradigm of governance, Collignon introduces an important new perspective.

Vince Waldron's book provides a fresh and inspiring lens for understanding how women and men sustain and transform their midlife relationships. Using the communicative construction of resilience, Waldron provides rich, vivid, and thoughtful treatment of a relatively neglected topic. Chapters draw upon different data and analyses to present couples' insights into how they viewed and shaped their marriages over time and in spaces marked by personal struggles, external disruptions, and family challenges. Through these couples' courage, compassion, and affection for each other, we develop insights into how we might incorporate their pragmatic strategies and our resources into our own lives. -Patrice M. Buzzanell, Distinguished University Professor, Purdue University Vince Waldron's <> should be on the shelf of any serious scholar of marital and family relationships. It is an excellent text for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses on relational and family communication and offers an in-depth, dyadic analysis of how couples respond to and overcome challenges during mid-life. It also provides qualitative scholars with detailed description of how to conduct a successful multi-year research project using undergraduate researchers. Finally, it is a valuable resource for couples of all ages to help them prepare for, understand, and reflect on how to create resilience in their relationships. -Jess Alberts, Professor, Hugh Downs School of Human Communication, Arizona State University
