This book examines the European Union's contribution to providing security in Europe amidst an increasingly complex and challenging environment.In this new and comprehensive guide to the EU's role in security since the end of the Cold War, the authors offer an explanation of EU internal and external security regimes, and argue that the Union has become an important exporter of security within its region. However, the Union's rhetorical ambitions and commitments continue to outstrip its capabilities and it lacks both a common conceptualisation of security and a meaningful, shared stra |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Metal- and metalloid-containing macromolecules are defined as large molecules (i.e., polymers, DNA, proteins) that contain a metal or metalloid group affiliated with the molecule. The first volume in this series consists of a number of reviews of the field, to give the reader a background to build upon. Compiled by an all-star cast of macromolecular experts, this guide:Provides useful descriptions of applications for the reader to apply in his/her research into materials, polymers, and medicine/drug development.Covers non-linear optical materials, speciality magnetic materials, liq |
