This major new statement from a leading European scholar provides a trenchant analysis of the pitfalls and ambiguities of 50 years of European integration, without losing sight of its benefits. Majone assesses the future of Europe after the new Constitutional Treaty, before controversially concluding that the EU has failed as a would-be federation, but has a chance of becoming an effective confederation of sovereign states.

"Empire" by Integration is the first comprehensive survey of the American policy towards European integration from 1945 to the present day. Geir Lundestad argues that, unlike other Great Powers, the United States strongly supported the integration of the most important area under its influence: Western Europe. Taking a clear, chronological approach to the subject, "Empire" by Integration provides a succinct, provocative, and highly readable account of this crucial aspect of American-Western European relations.

“The book’s use of real-world case study vignettes really does go to the heart of the subject matter. This stuff is real, it has real applicability to real problems, and, as with most things in life, it shows how it all comes down to real money in the final analysis. This book shows you what your peers are doing to drive costs out of integration projects and to build new applications without re-inventing the entire wheel—just a few new spokes and off you go. This is a good book. Read it.”     —Peter Rhys Jenkins, Complex Systems Architect, Candle Corporation“When you get two l

A breakthrough approach to the theory and applications of stochastic integration The theory of stochastic integration has become an intensely studied topic in recent years, owing to its extraordinarily successful application to financial mathematics, stochastic differential equations, and more. This book features a new measure theoretic approach to stochastic integration, opening up the field for researchers in measure and integration theory, functional analysis, probability theory, and stochastic processes.

Pinch analysis and related techniques are the key to design of inherently energy-efficient plants. This book shows engineers how to understand and optimize energy use in their processes, whether large or small. Energy savings go straight to the bottom line as increased profit, as well as reducing emissions.This is the key guide to process integration for both experienced and newly qualified engineers, as well as academics and students. It begins with an introduction to the main concepts of pinch analysis, the calculation of energy targets for a given process, the pinch temperature and the gold
