The focus of this book is on how community comes to influence political behaviour; it takes an interdisciplinary approach blending the fields of community psychology, sociology, and political science.

Aphra Behn, Susannah Centlivre, Hannah Cowley and Elizabeth Inchbald were the only four female playwrights in England with multiple comic successes from 1670-1800. Behn's interest in the body, Centlivre's fascination with written contracts, Cowley's nationalism and Inchbald's discussion of divorce emerge in the comic events that are animated by the psychological mechanisms of humour. Attending to the dialogue between these comic events and the plays' more predictable comic endings illuminates the philosophical, political and legal arguments about women and marriage that fascinated both female playwrights and the theatre-going public.

Based on original research this book is a unique attempt at a general assessment of EU frontiers. An examination of the EU external frontier shows that the EU is acquiring some state-like features, but the eastern frontier provides abundant evidence of the external frontier's complexity.

Japan and the Specter of Imperialism examines competing Japanese responses to the late nineteenth century unequal treaty regime as a confrontation with liberal imperialism, including the culture and gender politics of US territorial expansion into the Pacific.
