Invisible to official statistics and operating outside the reach of governmental regulation, informal finance markets often prove more efficient and more fair than their formal counterparts. The authors of these studies emphasize the diversity and richness of informal credit markets.

If NATO is to meet the needs of its sixteen members over the next several decades, it must address issues that go far beyond deterrence and defense: How can consensus be reached on NATO's future? How can public perception of the organization be gauged? How can NATO sustain and bolster worldwide political and economic support? NATO's interests are no longer limited to Western Europe; the Gulf has become a critical area, and Japan and other non-European nations now play a major role in Western security. In this book, composed of keynote speeches and papers delivered in Brussels at the conference on "The Future of NATO and Global Security," a diverse group of distinguished experts and political leaders from Western Europe, the United States, and Japan analyze current problems facing the Western Alliance and consider potential courses of action for the future.

Relations between Congress and the executive branch have always been an uneasy mixture of mutuality and autonomy, cooperation and conflict. The U.S. Constitution required that the two branches of the federal government work in concert, but it also mandated a separation of powers. Inevitably, this situation has led to a clash of wills and a contest

This book is an outcome of the conference on 'The Future of NATO and Global Security,' in Brussels. It focused on classical issues of East-West relations, the two-way street in defense procurement, conventional military security, and nuclear issues-arms, doctrine, and arms control.

This book is a practical and realistic blueprint for change in the U.S. government. Using case studies that illustrate central issues in legislative-executive relations, it dissects key problems plaguing and often paralyzing the conduct of the government.

A detailed account by the secretary to the festival committee of the extensive Tercentenary celebrations of Shakespeare's birth held in Stratford-upon-Avon in 1864. The jubilee, inspired by Garrick's of 1769, included performances of several of the plays in a specially built pavilion on the Paddock in Southern Lane. There was also a banquet, a ball, fireworks, church services, a pageant and several concerts. Planning was fraught with difficulties and disagreements such as the committee's refusal to provide the pageant (organised in the end by the townsfolk) and walked a financial tightrope. The event nevertheless was a success and paved the way for the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre, opened in 1879. A short biography of the playwright, with an assessment of previous biographies, a topographical narrative of the town and description of the three previous jubilees held there (especially Garrick's) provide context and the perspective of the time.
