Masr El Arabia for Publishing and Distribution
We are Masr El Arabia for Publishing and Distribution, an Egyptian publishing house located in Cairo – Egypt. Established in 1977 with a focus on distribution and few but carefully selected titles. In 2007 we decided to shift more to publishing and started with academic books then lately we added a new line which is translated literature, we care most about the quality of the work and we managed to present many foreign authors for the first time to the Arab readers such as Goncalo Tavares, Immanuel Mifsud, Reiner Englemann, Julian Fuks, Kelly James Clark and others, also we managed to publish the Nobel laureate Svetlana Alexievich (Chernobyl Prayer) 2015, Jo Nesbo and many others during the past few years. We would like to mention that prior to the publishing house, we established Al Thaqafa Al Jadeeda Bookshop in the United Arab Emirates (Abu Dhabi) which was one of the first book shops in the country. We participate in almost all the Arab book fairs, and we have our books distributed in every Arab country through the major bookshop chains and local distributors.

Politics & governmentFebruary 2017The European Union's policy towards Mercosur
Responsive not strategic
by Series edited by Dimitris Papadimitriou, Simon Bulmer, Andrew Geddes, Peter Humphreys, Arantza Gomez Arana
This book examines the motivations for the European Union's (EU) policy towards the Common Market of the South (Mercosur), the EU's most important relationship with another regional economic integration organisation. It argues that the dominant explanations in the literature - balancing the US, global aspirations, being an external federator, long-standing economic and cultural ties, economic interdependence, and the Europeanization of Spanish and Portuguese national foreign policies - fail to adequately explain the EU's policy. In particular, these accounts tend to infer the EU's motives from its activity. Drawing extensive primary documents, this book argues that the major developments in the relationship - the 1992 Inter-institutional Agreement and the 1995 Europe Mercosur Inter-regional Framework Cooperation Agreement - were initiated by Mercosur and supported mainly by Spain. This means that rather than pursuing a strategy, as implied by most of the existing literature, the EU was largely responsive.

Caribbean Chronicles Loaded with Rum, Rum, Rum…
by Arantza Prádanos
The Caribbean is seen differently far from the deckchairs. With a backpack over the shoulder, one has to deal with crazy drivers, Zika mosquitoes and many other genres of pests. And since every trip needs a beacon and a guide, why not rum? Omnipresent, self-defining, distilled with blood and black tears, seasoned in the seven seas as a drink for sea dogs. Spanish, English, French, Dutch... Each and every one of these Caribbean Islands claims to be the homeland of the best rum.This book follows sugarcane’s trail, the slimy imprint of slavery through old haciendas, plantations, distilleries, and bars. Along the way, the remains of glory and decadence of an empire on which the sun never set crosses paths with Treasure Island and Moby Dick, Horace Nelson’s mortuary vat, as well as that of cannibals and pirates in the New World.
