This final chapter synthesizes the chapters in the volume. It emphasizes the value of interdisciplinary approaches as they apply to complex issues of migration, mobility, ethnicity, and social identity. Drawing on the book’s chapters, warfare, elite intermarriage, economic opportunities and/or state economic demands, ecological traumas, and political ebbs and flows are all discussed as forces impacting population movements. Ethnicity and social identity are also themes throughout the book, and this concluding chapter assesses attributes of these concepts in light of the book’s overall contributions.Less

In this follow-up study to French Origins of English Tragedy (MUP, 2010), Richard Hillman pursues his exploration of English tragedy in relation to France, this time with a frank concentration on Shakespeare and in a more broadly and intensively intertextual way. Instead of focusing on common paradigms, he sets out to theorise more abstract tragic qualities (such as nostalgia, futility and heroism), but again with reference to specific French texts and contexts. Three manifestations of the “Shakespearean tragic” are singled out: Hamlet, Antony and Cleopatra and All’s Well That Ends Well, a comedy with melancholic overtones whose French setting is shown to be richly significant. Hillman brings to bear on each of these central works a cluster of French intertextual echoes, sometimes literary in origin (whether dramatic or otherwise), sometimes involving historical texts, memoirs or contemporary political documents which have no obvious connection with the plays but prove capable of enriching interpretation of them. Some of this material is quite obscure, at least to literary scholars, and one effect is to suggest the surprising degree to which segments of the English theatre-going public would have responded to the evocation of facts, images and ideas emanating from France in a variety of forms. The interdisciplinary approach of this book makes it of interest not only to scholars specialising in early modern English theatre, but also to both specialists and students concerned with the circulation of information and the production of meaning within early modern European culture.Less

Diverse forces shaped women’s drinking habits: wars; Progressivism; changes in demography, the economy and work; enduring sexism not just among pub and beerhouse patrons but throughout the industry; moral panics; pubcos; different generational attitudes; ambitious entrepreneurs unconnected with the brewing industry; and alterations in the drinking culture itself, from layouts and beverages to licensing hours and escalating numbers of youth drinkers. Women’s drinking habits changed most in the interwar era and the years 1975-2000. Scholars have overlooked distinctions between pubs and beerhouses, the introduction of the lounge and public opinion or marketing surveys, contributing to much misunderstanding of how, why and where women drank. I used wide-ranging sources: periodicals focusing on drinking, the national press, architectural journals, corporate archives, oral histories, parliamentary papers, advertisements, Mass-Observation reports and sociological studies. Throughout the book I engage with scholarly arguments of women’s drinking behaviour, and offer original interpretations.Less

This book offers the first comprehensive legal analysis and empirical study of accountability concerning the EU’s peacebuilding endeavours—also referred to as civilian crisis management. Since 2003, the EU has launched more than twenty civilian missions under the CSDP in conflict-torn regions in Eastern Europe, the Western Balkan, sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, and South East Asia with the aim of restoring stability and security. Mission mandates cover a broad range of multidimensional tasks, such as border monitoring, rule of law support, police training, law enforcement capacity building, and security sector reform. In light of these numbers and tasks and given (recent) alarming insights from practice, it begs the question who is accountable (to whom) for the EU’s manifold extraterritorial peacebuilding activities. With a view to answering this question, this book combines tools of legal scholarship with insights from political science research, both in analytical and conceptual terms. The thorough analysis of the law and practice of political, legal, and administrative accountability in civilian CSDP leads to the following conclusion: when scrutinizing the institutional and procedural framework set out by law, the accountability assessment is sobering, but when approaching it from a practice angle, the verdict is promising—in particular as regards accountability at the EU level.Less
