Ladies, here are THE ideas you need to show your husband you’re in love with him!
Love letter, straight from the heart
Write him a poem or a love letter. You might tell him you love him and send him little SMS messages, but it’s nice to have a physical object outlining how you feel that he can revisit and read whenever he wants. Pick some nice paper and write it out in your own handwriting for added sentiment. Put your talents to use with a poem – this can be funny and flirty or write out your feelings in prose. If you struggle to find the words, borrow from the experts: Elizabeth Barret Browning “How Do I Love Thee? Let me Count the Ways” is a good starting point. Or borrow the lyrics from one of your favourite love songs.

This book attempts an analysis of EU integration and EU policies through the prism of political sociology. In order to proceed with his basic aim, the author constructs a new notion of political sociology that overcomes national boundaries and can be applied to the EU. This is achieved through a process of incorporation of social theory and new sociology elements into his theory. Issues affecting the nature of identity, modernity and globalisation are also integrated into a vibrant text that questions current assumptions concerning EU integration. The book analyses the impact of globalisation on the EU, as well as issues concerning the present and future European state, European society and democracy. Issues of core-periphery relations, as well as the link between unemployment, social exclusion and citizenship, are also taken into consideration. In addition, EU policies such as cohesion policy and enlargement are analysed in depth.

In studies of the EU, discussion of cosmopolitanism is usually limited to questions of democracy and citizenship. In recent times, there has been a wider interest in cosmopolitanism in relation to civil society, the public sphere, EU polity, European identity, migration, transnational space, and multiculturalism. Indeed, cosmopolitanism is becoming a key concept for understanding social and political transformation in the contemporary context, offering an alternative way of conceptualizing community and belonging that does not rely upon the primacy of the nation-state.
