In their newly released book Europe at Bay, Alan Cafruny, Hamilton’s Henry Platt Bristol Professor of International Affairs, and J. Magnus Ryder, professor of international relations at Oxford Brookes University, contend that “Absent the fundamental social and political changes that might engender a positive and coherent regional agency, Europe appears condemned to continuing dependency on the United States’ precarious imperium.”

Alan Cafruny, the Henry Platt Bristol Professor of International Affairs, is co-author of an article "Monetary Union and the Transatlantic and Social Dimensions of Europe's Crisis" with Magnus Ryner. It was published in New Political Economy 12, 2 (June, 2007).

Harry Platt Bristol Professor of International Relations Alan Cafruny has joined with Carl Lankowski in editing this two-part work which explores the validity of European unity since the establishment of the European Union (EU). The authors have focused on the connections between processes of European integration and the articulation of alternative programs and policies. The first part of this volume considers the key unresolved dilemmas of the new economic and political union, while the second part examines case studies of political and social movements through the EU, closely examining those states that have voiced the greatest concern about the union, as well as the greatest support.

During the last decade Europe has been transformed both politically and commercially. The establishment of a genuinely single marketplace in the context of an expanding membership has enabled the European Union greatly to enhance its role on the world stage. This pioneering work edited by Alan Cafruny, professor of international affairs at Hamilton College and Patrick Peters of European University Institute, present a comprehensive picture of the union's foreign economic policies and actions, its foreign security polcy, and supernational nature of much Union decision-making.
