Why did NATO expand its membership during the Cold War years, and what was its attraction to new members? This book locates the answers to these questions not solely in the Cold War, but in the historical problems of international order in Europe and the growing idea of the West. A wide range of sources is used, and the analysis looks at a process of neo-enlargement during NATO's inception as well as the formal accessions that followed.

Discussing his 1971 urban art installation, Les Gisants de la Commune de Paris, Ernest Pignon-Ernest stated he felt it necessary for art dedicated to the Paris Commune to be created in the street. Only there could it do justice to a movement built on popular seizure of urban space. In recent years, as 'street art' has emerged as a significant artistic movement, the affinity Pignon-Ernest asserted between art in the street and the Commune has continued to make itself felt. This article discusses three Paris-based street artists who have referenced the Commune: A2, Morèje, and Rue Meurt d'Art. Their work resists the Commune's erasure from collective memory. However, their strategies sometimes risk relegating it to the past, stripping it of its political radicalism. This, combined with street art's growing commercialization and institutionalization, poses questions about urban art's capacity to engage the Commune on an ideological—not just iconographic—level.
Disability legislation faces two potentially contradictory perceptions. Persons with disabling hearing impairment (DHI) are committed to eradicating discriminatory attitudes and practices, and removing barriers to communication and integration. Legislation should be aimed at breaking down these barriers, and be designed to assist persons with DHI to overcome stereotyped assumptions about their disability and ability. To achieve these goals, a common framework for describing functional status information is needed in order to make this information comparable and of value. The World Health Organization's International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), which has been approved by all its member states, including South Africa, provides a common language and framework to be used in legislation. This article analyses disability legislation in South Africa, with specific focus on DHI, in order to determine the application and definition consistency. It finds that some legislation includes some elements of disability. This endeavour may have extensive implications for the development of law and public policy to supplement the ICF and the Constitution of South Africa.
