The European Union has made remarkable, unprecedented advances in both external and internal security integration. "Epistemic communities" of ambassadors, military generals, scientists, and other experts who supersede national governments in the diplomacy of security decision making are taking advantage of their shared expertise, common culture, professional norms, and frequent meetings to forge new levels of collaboration. Mai'a K. Davis Cross brings together numerous personal interviews and recent government documents across five separate case studies to construct a microsociological account of how EU governance really works and what future role the EU is likely to play internationally.

Shedding light on international and transnational writing studies, this edited collection addresses the complexities of research and writing across global contexts. Based on the observation that knowledge-making transcends national borders and is contingent upon the interplay of local cultures and practices, the contributors to the volume contradict the notion that knowledge circulates freely in a “flat world.” Presenting diverse perspectives on writing research, they showcase the need for mutual understanding across borders and reflect the rich tapestry of writing research traditions worldwide, emphasizing interconnectedness and collective insight rather than hierarchical models of knowledge dissemination. Supporting International Writing Studies Research encourages readers and researchers to engage with and respect scholarship beyond English-language contexts, advocates for collaborative global dialogues in writing education, and underscores the importance of continued efforts to incorporate diverse scholarly voices and methodologies in the evolving landscape of writing studies.
