Ever Closer Union or Immigration Questions and Answers

Ever Closer Union: An Introduction to Eruopean Integration

Author: Desmond Dinan

Ever Closer Union clearly explains the complexities of European integration from the 1950s to the present. This new edition retains the familiar three-part structure - history, institutions, and policies - but incorporates expanded coverage of both enlargement issues and constitutional change. New policy and institutional developments are thoroughly explored, and an entirely new chapter examines the decisionmaking dynamics among the Commission, Council, and Parliament. The completely revised chapter on the complicated EU-U.S. relationship includes discussions of the Bush administration's worldview, the broad repercussions of the terrorist attacks in the United States and Spain, and the ongoing fallout from the war in Iraq.

Immigration Questions and Answers

Author: Carl R Baldwin

Immigration Questions and Answers is a complete introduction to immigration law that will help immigrants become aware of their rights and know when and how to seek legal assistance. If you have a question or problem, this book offers detailed instructions on how to file petitions and applications successfully in order to get an immigration benefit - ranging from asylum, to a green card, to citizenship. Easy-to-understand answers are given to questions about working legally, job discrimination, temporary stays, the visa lottery, access to public benefits, and much more. Taking sharp issue with today's critics of both legal and illegal immigration, the book argues that we in the United States could not be competitive in the new global economy, or staff our hospitals, or care for our children, much less cut sugar cane and harvest apples, without the skill and hard work of men and women from all over the world.
