| Summary/Abstract |
Debt is fundamentally an issue of power; the transfer of resources between debtor and creditor, and the decisions a creditor can force on a debtor. The Jubilee movement for 'Third World' debt cancellation got its name from the Jewish scriptures. A 'jubilee' was a time when debts were cancelled, slaves freed, land returned and fields left fallow. All these were linked. Those working on the land got into debt when harvests failed. To feed their families they borrowed from neighbours. As debts rose and families became unable to pay, they had to sell off their land. Rent was charged on the sold land, creditors got richer, debtors poorer, and debts increased. Now when struggling to pay, debtors sold off what was left to them: daughters, sons and themselves. Many ended up in slavery. Jubilee was a time to stop and put right these wrongs. It addressed both the debt and other inequalities of power and resources which arose in the name of debt.

| Summary/Abstract |
MANY TIMES during the presidential campaign in the United States it was said that foreign policy and the relations with Russia were not the candidates' primary concerns. Is this true? In a tight election race even minor nuances and barely detectable variants of political interpretations are important. In America which is part of the globalized world foreign policy is merely another hypostasis of world economics which should not be treated lightly.

It was a call I never expected to receive. I had just returned home from playing indoor tennis on the chilly, windy Sunday afternoon of March 16, 2008. A senior official of the U.S. Federal Reserve Board of Governors was on the phone to discuss the board's recent invocation, for the first time in decades, of the obscure but explosive Section 13(3) of the Federal Reserve Act. Broadly interpreted, that section empowered the Federal Reserve to lend nearly unlimited cash to virtually anybody: in this case, the Fed planned to loan nearly $29 billion to J.P. Morgan to facilitate the bank's acquisition of the investment firm Bear Stearns, which was on the edge of bankruptcy, having run through nearly $20 billion of cash in the previous week

| Summary/Abstract |
In the wake of the Single European Act of the mid-1980s and a series of follow-on initiatives aimed at fostering greater integration in Europe, a number of commentators began describing Europe as a truly novel political-territorial arrangement. By the middle of the 1990s, however, the adoption of a common currency came to dominate the European integration agenda. The embrace of monetary union reflected a view of European integration that was firmly embedded in the logic of the modern territorial state system. That logic led many commentators to view the success or failure of integration in terms of the degree to which powers were being transferred from state governmental and economic institutions to the central decision-making bodies of the European Union. Such an approach cast the EU as a super-state rather than as a new type of political-institutional entity. As a result, the integration project was less subversive of the state system than it might otherwise have been - bolstering the view of the European Union as a distant bureaucracy not adequately attuned to the needs of everyday Europeans and fueling nationalist sentiments: a social force with deep roots in the modernist territorial order. Moving the European integration process forward will likely require embracing conceptions of progress that are less tethered to modernist territorial ideas and assumptions.
