This volume introduces servant-leadership, a powerful leadership model that has proved successful in a growing number of organizations. Companies ranging from a large airline to a retail store chain are experimenting with unprecedented and accelerated changes in how they define leadership--in whom employees choose to follow, what it takes to effectively lead others, and how individuals can come together to address constant flux. Ann McGee-Cooper and Gary Looper share important stories from these workplaces, differentiating servant-leadership from traditional, more hierarchical leadership models. They also offer practical suggestions for putting servant-leadership principles to work--at any time, in any setting or industry.

European Union Enlargement provides a comparative analysis of the post-war European policies of those states that joined the European Union between 1973 and 1995. The volume draws upon new empirical research in order to investigate the policies that these 'newcomer' states have had towards Europe since 1945, with an emphasis on their experience of membership and its possible Europeanising effect. A final comparative chapter draws the national European policies of the 'newcomers' together and outlines what they have brought to the EU. The book also tests integration theories against the available evidence, demonstrating their limited explanatory value and the economic, political and cultural specificity of different national paths towards EU integration.
