Striking a Balance between Freedom, Security and Justice. CEPS Paperback. October 2002
This monograph surveys the achievements of the European Union in the field of Justice and Home Affairs and analyses the proâs and conâs of setting up an area of freedom, security and justice. The inter-connections between internal and external security issues are carefully examined - both from a practical and institutional point of view-and consideration is given to how to avoid excessive âsecuritisationâ of society. It argues for the need to take an integrated approach towards these issues in order to ensure that the right balance is actually being struck between these three dimensions
Marriage: A Formative Institution
Pride and Prejudice, by Jane Austen, features five main marriages that demonstrate the eighteenth century companionate marriage model in varying degrees. Many of the societal changes in the eighteenth and nineteenth century contributed to the rise of the companionate marriage, and these many changes are reflected in the rising genreâthe novel. Specifically, Jane Austenâs Pride and Prejudice incorporates the major themes of the novel as a genre, specifically, the rise of the individual and equality of souls, to show that the companionate model of marriage makes marriage a formational platform for two individuals. Austen clearly sets apart Elizabeth and Darcyâs marriage as the strongest union because they prove to be better suited companions based on their willingness to make their marriage the foundation on which they form each other as individuals and as a couple. Through this textual study and by contrasting and comparing each marriage, Darcy and Elizabethâs marriage stands out because of their desire to make marriage a formational basis for their lives. While their marriage is a nineteenth-century fictional model, it holds truth that applies even today
