This book marries the disciplines of International Relations and Diplomatic History to provide a major new study of the GATT system in the 1960s. Using recently declassified British and American government documents, this book identifies the key role British diplomats played at the Kennedy Round. Through the close ties that characterise the Anglo-American relationship, the British influenced American policy and strategy in the negotiations. The evidence of this study challenges realist theories of middle power influence in the international political economy by demonstrating the determining role of state-level factors such as diplomatic skill and policy expertise.

PALGRAVE~MACMILLAN

According to A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada's purport on text 3, Chapter 6 of the Bhagavad Gita: "The process of linking oneself with the Supreme is called yoga. It may be compared to a ladder for attaining the topmost spiritual realization. This ladder begins from the lowest material condition of the living entity and rises to reflect self-realization in pure spiritual life. According to various elevations, different parts of the ladder are known by different names but all in all, the complete system is called yoga and may be divided into three parts, namely, jnana yoga, dhyana yoga, and bhakti yoga." Donna's book Up The Ladder reads like a novel which embraces hardship and humor and ultimately takes us to higher ground. donna's story reveals how staying true to herself, brought her Up the Ladder. As we follow donna's passage she takes us on an uplifting pilgrimage which is surprising, optimistic, and brave. There is genius in it. Here is a glimpse of how sincerity and humility became allies on the road to self-realization.

Nowheresville, Everywhere, Earth, by Donna Lee, explodes on the scene exploring such questions as: "What do we REALLY mean when we use the term 'mental illness'?" "Was Jesus any more of a god than anyone can be?" "Did he even ever exist?" "Did the U.S. REALLY land men on the Moon?" "What are the TRUE purposes of schooling in America?" Ms. Lee named her book Nowheresville, Everywhere, Earth because that's where she finds herself most times when she tries to discuss the issues contained therein. In spite of her studied eloquence, sheer genius, even, she's been dismissed from or driven out of several U.S. colleges over the past 26 years before she could complete any degrees whatsoever. What's going on here? Read these powerful essays to find out!

<p><div>Set against a backdrop of concerns about the potential break-up or radical change to the global world order, this volume sets out to investigate the use of sports mega-events by a number of emerging states.</div> <div><br /></div> <div>Sports mega-events, it is argued, can be understood as a key component in states' 'soft power' strategies, that is, their attempts to showcase their nations on the international stage, increase their power relative to others via non-coercive means and to increase trade and tourism. Many studies on soft power simply cite the concept's founder (Joseph Nye) and make little attempt at unpicking the mechanisms behind its creation. This volume does this by shining a light on emerging economies and by putting forward a soft power 'ideal type' to aid researchers in understanding the strategies employed by states in advancing their interests.</div></p>
