For more than 7 years, Derk-Jan Eppink worked as a senior official behind the scenes in the European Commission. The Commission is not well known to the general public, but makes decisions which affect the daily lives of almost half a billion Europeans. Now that he has left the Comission to tkae up a new job in New York, Eppink looks back on his time in Europe. “ Eppink's book gives the reader a rare and ironic glimpse of life in Europe's corridors of power. In his inimitable style, he sketches a portrait of the "European Mandarins', the European Commission's senior administrators, of whom a German Euro-Commissioner recently said "they have too much power and are too little controlled".

Why has the West for so long and in so many different ways expressed the idea that the Chinese have a special relationship to cruelty and to physical pain? What can the history of that idea and its expressions teach us about the politics of the West's contemporary relation to China? And what does it tell us about the philosophy of modernity? The Hypothetical Mandarin is, in some sense, a history of the Western imagination. It is also a history of the interactions between Enlightenment philosophy, of globalization, of human rights, and of the idea of the modern. Beginning with Bianchon and Rastignac's discussion of whether the former would, if he could, obtain a European fortune by killing a Chinese mandarin in Balzac's Le Pere Goriot (1835), the book traces a series of literary and historical examples in which Chinese life and European sympathy seem to hang in one another's balance. Hayots wide-ranging discussion draws on accounts of torture, on medical case studies, travelers tales, photographs, plasticized corpses, polemical broadsides, watercolors, and on oil paintings. His analyses show that the historical connection between sympathy and humanity, and indeed between sympathy and reality, has tended to refract with a remarkable frequency through the lens called "China," and why the story of the West's Chinese pain goes to the heart of the relation between language and the body and the social experience of the modern human being. Written in an ebullient prose, The Hypothetical Mandarin demonstrates how the network that intertwines China, sympathy, and modernity continues to shape the economic and human experience.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact.

Colonial administrator, writer, explorer, Buddhist, and friend to China's last emperor, Sir Reginald Johnston (1874–1938) was a distinguished sinologist with a tangled love and family life that he kept secret even from his closest friends. Born and educated in Edinburgh, he began his career in the colony of Hong Kong and eventually became Commissioner of the remote British leased territory of Weihai in northern China. He travelled widely and, during a break from colonial service, served as tutor and advisor to Puyi, the deposed emperor. As the only foreigner allowed to work in the Forbidden City, he wrote the classic account of the last days of the Qing Dynasty—Twilight in the Forbidden City. Granted unique access to Johnston's extensive personal papers, once thought to be lost, Shiona Airlie tells the life of a complex and sensitive character whose career made a deep impression on 20th-century China.

Lobbyisterna har tagit över Bryssel. Och lobbyaktiviteterna har de senaste åren eskalerat. Politikerna har förlorat makten till särintressen som formar politiken genom tankesmedjor, lobbyorganisationer och mäktiga intresseföreningar. Ungefär 80 procent av de lagar som påverkar Sverige kommer från EU. Men vilka är krafterna som i bakgrunden rycker i beslutsfattarnas trådar? Författarna lyfter på locket till Bryssels dolda makthavare: Lobbyisterna. Skildringar ges från olika miljöer där frön till EU-lagar diskret strös ut i välplanerade strategiska kampanjer. Vi får besöka ”oberoende” seminarier hos tankesmedjor och bevittna arbetsmöten i EU-parlamentet dit lobbyister får tillträde trots politikers missnöje. Samtidigt står det klart att svenska företag förlorar stora pengar på att de ännu inte förstått hur inflytelserikt Bryssel är. Nuvarande och tidigare EU-kommissionärerna Cecilia Malmström och Anita Gradin intervjuas. Det gör också EU-parlamentarikerna Carl Schlyter, Christofer Fjellner, Gunnar Hökmark och Marita Ulvskog. Författarna har även träffat den svenska makteliten i form av Erik Belfrage – svensk industriman och rådgivare till familjen Wallenberg och med aktiv roll i Bryssels tankesmedjor: ”… Det är ett bra sätt att få tillträde till kommissionen och kommissionärerna, och det gäller för övrigt också att det underlättar i kontakterna med EU-parlamentet och Europeiska rådet.” Tankesmedjan Ecipes vd och grundare Fredrik Erixon, utsedd till en av Bryssels 30 mest inflytelserika av Financial Times, hymlar inte med hur det ser ut: ”… Vi får ofta erbjudanden från både stater och företag om att göra studier mot betalning där de på förhand säger vad de vill ha ut av den.” Karl Isaksson, chef för lobbygiganten Kreab Gavin Andersons Brysselkontor: ”På samma sätt som alla har rätt till en advokat, på samma sätt tycker jag att alla har rätt till en lobbyist. ”Det finns exempel på regelutformningar där det ges ekonomiska incitament för att exempelvis bilar eller andra fordon inte ska vara äldre än ett visst antal år. En sådan lag, vilken vid första anblicken ser ut att handla om säkerhet eller miljö, kan mycket väl vara initierad från bilindustrin i syfte att sälja fler bilar.” Om författarna. Olle Nygårds är journalist specialiserad på näringslivsfrågor och med fil. kand i nationalekonomi. Han har tidigare arbetat som underrättelseanalytiker och även arbetat med korruptionsfrågor. Födelseår är 1969. Minal Parekh Nygårds är egenföretagare och javaprogrammerare. Födelseår är 1971. ”Vi är positiva till företagande men tveksamma till all sammanblandning av politik och näringsliv som sker utan insyn.” Boken är skriven under åren 2012 och 2013 och till stor del från Frankrike och Belgien.

If the European political space has been extensively explored, research has remained all too often focused on the institutions of the European Union and the Council of Europe rather than on the actors who make Europe. This dictionary brings a new angle to scholarship on Europe by systematically investigating its actors: those who work within the institutions or in close contact with them; those who are the targets of European policies; those in the name of whom reforms are carried out; those who promote Europe and those who oppose it. It showcases a comprehensive, interdisciplinary approach that bridges the usual separation between the European Union and the Council of Europe. In each entry, contributors selected among the leading specialists in their fields of research present the state of the art and the most current research perspectives on European actors. Students, teachers and researchers with an interest in Europe will find this volume to be a valuable work of reference and a source of new and stimulating ideas and perspectives on Europe. More broadly, the dictionary will appeal to ‘professionals of Europe’ eager to gain insights into their working environment as well as to readers interested in understanding Europe through its actors.

The life of the poor Brussels orphan who became an honored mandarin in China may sound more like fiction than a true biography, but Paul Splingaerd really did walk this earth. The four decades that he spent in China were during the pivotal post-Opium Wars years when China's doors were being pried open for trade with the West. Paul explored all regions of the "Middle Kingdom" with renowned German geologist Ferdinand von Richthofen, and established a fur trading business in Mongolia before being appointed customs inspector in China's far west by powerful viceroy Li Hongzhang. Find out what brought Splingaerd to China, and learn how he earned recognition from his king, King Leopold II, who made him a "Chevalier de L'Ordre de la Couronne." Read about Paul's role in the construction of the first iron bridge across the venerable Yellow River at Lanzhou. Splingaerd's perspective on China's interaction with the West during the late nineteenth century, offers the reader many intriguing insights into the roots of China's dynamism in the twenty-first century. Masterfully authored by Splingaerd's great-granddaughter, Anne Splingaerd Megowan, The Belgian Mandarin is one unforgettable read, a well-researched and richly illustrated account of the life of this truly exceptional individual.
