WHEN, IN EARLY April, the international ratings agency Standard & Poor's announced it was dropping Turkey's investment grade from "stable" to "negative," it cited "political and external uncertainties" as the reason. More than any other party in Turkish history, the AKP has advanced the country's march toward European Union (EU) membership, while also opening up Turkey's economy to foreign investment and international trade more than any other.

Under the Maastricht Treaty of 1992, a single currency called the "euro" was adopted, and economic criteria for membership in the European Monetary Union were established. The objectives of the Maastricht Treaty were to eliminate the costs connected with several European currencies, increase both currency and international stability, and stimulate economic growth and employment with a more efficient single market and European integration. The individual Member States and the European Union as a whole would benefit with free circulation of goods, services, people, and capital among the Member States ("What is," n.d., p. 2-3). On January 1, 1999, eleven of the fifteen existing European Union (EU) Member States joined the EMU: Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Lux...

BELGRADE, Serbia - Sixteen years after the bull-necked military commander went on the run, a pale and shrunken Ratko Mladic was hauled into a courtroom Thursday to face charges of genocide in ordering torture, rape and the slaughter of 8,000 Muslim men and boys in the Bosnian town of Srebrenica in 1995. A Serbian government that has changed mightily since Mladic's alleged atrocities trumpeted his early morning arrest as a victory for a country worthy of EU membership and Western embrace. It banned all public gatherings and raised security levels to prevent ultra- nationalists from making good on pledges to pour into the streets in protest.

Baldwin claims that deep economic integration in Europe reduced the effectiveness of unilateral economic policy making and members reacted by embracing deeper international cooperation. Peshkopia and Imami analyze EU membership conditionality at a meso-level, focusing on its sectoral policies, and the institutional reforms in Eastern Europe by taking into account the conditions that the EU sets for each of them. On Symes's reading, governments may tinker at the edges of the institutional framework in an attempt to improve specific architectural features to facilitate decision-making. Jørgensen examines the role of the European Union in multilateral diplomacy.

As the court record notes, WBU #6 was established in 1922 by the "Workingmen's Benefits Union," which sold the building 80 years later. It housed a bar, a connected apartment for the building's caretaker, and a social hall for meetings and dances with live music on the weekends. In those days, however, these organizations were social clubs as much as anything -- hence the "lodge numbers," such as WBU #6. Many were organized along ethnic lines, with names such as the Slovene National Benefit Society. Especially for recent European immigrants, notes the Heinz History Center's guide Points in Time, "As well as membership benefits, ethnic fraternals offered immigrants social and cultural support." Members were given a connection to the old country, and a helping hand in the new world. The f...
