Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " Bien entendu, on peut sauter sur sa chaise comme un cabri en disant " l'Europe ! ", " l'Europe ! ", " l'Europe ! ", mais cela n'aboutit à rien et cela ne signifie rien." Charles de Gaulle, Discours et messages. La sentence gaullienne a frappé les esprits. Elle a visé juste jusqu'à aujourd'hui. Mais, n'est-ce pas faute d'avoir abandonné notre communauté de destin, l'Europe, aux mains des seuls politiciens et des eurocrates ? L'Europe n'appartient-elle pas d'abord aux Européens ? Comment, dans le même temps. Peut - on laisser certains expliquer que l'Europe est la cause de tous nos maux alors que l'idée européenne est la solution face à la mondialisation ? Des Thermopyles au Traité de Rome, des tranchées de Verdun aux travées du Parlement Européen à Strasbourg, les Européens ont su résister, dépasser leurs querelles, créer, et innover. Et si la prochaine innovation était institutionnelle ? Et si l'on construisait enfin l'Europe, une autre Europe, notre Europe ? Face à la crise, et contre les fauteurs de décadence. Naturellement engluée dans un brouillard libéral et mondialiste, l'Europe navigue à vue. Face au monde multipolaire qui se dessine, et comme à chaque rendez-vous avec l'Histoire, l'Europe devra choisir entre la puissance ou la mort. La mort, c'est subir la crise, accepter le déclin, décourager ses forces vives et laisser fuir sa jeunesse pour ne devenir qu'une ombre de ce que les Américains appellent déjà " la vieille Europe ", celle des musées, des maisons de retraite et des souvenirs. La puissance, c'est envisager le renouveau, le dépassement des Etats - Nations, la construction d'un Etat européen volontariste et pragmatique. Fédéral et régional, afin de respecter et de protéger la diversité culturelle des peuples européens, il se doit d'être en mesure de répondre aux attentes sociales des populations. Fort et puissant afin de promouvoir et de défendre, au-delà de toute idéologie, les intérêts matériels et immatériels, les valeurs et les traditions culturelles des Européens, il doit oser rayonner à travers le monde. Cri d'alarme et cri du coeur, ce livre appelle à un élan collectif vers un Etat européen, un Etat d'urgence ! Il est temps que le cabri se fasse loup !

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'Europe, telle qu'elle se construit aujourd'hui a échoué aussi bien sur le plan économique -la croissance est en panne- que sur le plan social -le chômage reste à un niveau très élevé- ou encore sur le plan politique -l'Union européenne est incapable d'avoir une politique claire qui s'opposerait à l'hégémonisme américain. Le référendum a été en France l'occasion de faire le bilan du travail des institutions européennes, et d'analyser dans le détail le texte de la Constitution. Cette Constitution ne sera jamais adoptée, aussi il est bon de commencer à réfléchir à l'après référendum.

Book excerpt: Notre recherche, qui articule un objet de science politique, un traitement historique et une problématisation philosophique, vise à déterminer si la démocratie communautaire s’est construite sur une intégration par le peuple ou pour le peuple. De l’entre-deux-guerres jusqu’au traité de Lisbonne, nous avons étudié les discours des théoriciens et des praticiens de la construction européenne afin de préciser le rapport de l’Europe politique à son ou ses peuples. Ce rapport obéit-il à une dynamique ascendante – le peuple comme acteur de l’intégration post-nationale – ou à une dynamique descendante – le peuple comme bénéficiaire de l’intégration post-nationale ? La première partie de notre recherche se concentre sur la « pré-histoire » du projet d’unification continentale et sur la naissance de la Communauté européenne. Alors que l’intégration ne repose encore sur aucun « peuple européen » constituant, une théorie de la démocratie communautaire commence à affleurer dans le discours des trois généalogies communaliste, fédéraliste et technocratique. La deuxième partie de notre travail aborde la transition entre la Communauté européenne et l’Union européenne et la manière dont elle s’est accompagnée d’un approfondissement paradoxal de l’idée démocratique malgré le peuple. La troisième partie de notre enquête aborde le changement de paradigme politique qui accompagne l’échec du projet de traité constitutionnel et la ratification du Traité de Lisbonne. Dans quelle mesure cette période de crise ouvre-t-elle la voie d’une forme ambiguë de démocratie contre le peuple ?
Download or read book Brussels and Europe written by Roel de Groof and published by ASP / VUBPRESS / UPA. This book was released on 2009 with total page 595 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifty years after the conclusion of the Treaties of Rome (25 March 1957) and the foundation of the European Economic Community, Brussels has become a political world city and international capital with global influence. The acta of the interuniversity and international colloquium, held in Brussels on 18 and 19 December 2006, present a general outline of the research results and 26 contributions, based on original research and divided into three parts. The first part focuses on Brussels' position in the 'world city network'. How has Brussels grown into the European and international 'capital' we know today? What exactly is its legal status as the European 'Capital'? Of course, other aspects such as the relationship between the Brussels-Capital Region and the Europe of Regions and the role of Brussels as the place for lobbying the European Union are also examined. The second part focuses on the interaction between the European institutions and Brussels. What are the socioeconomic, demographic, political and linguistic effects of their presence? Finally, a number of pressure points and areas of tension are analysed. How is Brussels 'imagined' or represented as the capital of Europe? And what is the impact of the European presence on urban planning and security policy? -- Back cover.

Download or read book The Struggle for EU Legitimacy written by Claudia Sternberg and published by Springer. This book was released on 2013-08-08 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This award-winning book answers some of the big questions on the legitimacy of the European Union. Specifically, it looks at what it would mean for the EU to be considered a legitimate body and where our ideas on this question come from. The Struggle for EU Legitimacy traces the history of constructions and contestations of the EU's legitimacy, in discourses of the European institutions and in public debate. Through an interpretive, non-quantitative textual analysis of an eclectic range of sources, it examines both long-term patterns in EU-official discourses and their reception in member-state public spheres, specifically in the German and French debates on the Maastricht and Constitutional Draft Treaties. The story told portrays the history of legitimating the EU as a continuous contest over the ends and goals of integration, as well as a balancing act—which was inescapable given the nature of the integration project—between 'bringing the people in' and 'keeping them out'. In addition, it was a balancing act between actively politicizing and deliberately de-politicizing the stakes of EU politics.
Download or read book The French Parliament and the European Union written by Olivier Rozenberg and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-07-12 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores how the European Union has changed the French Parliament since 1992. It supports the view that the institutional adaptation of both assemblies to European affairs is largely superficial as it lacks a genuine involvement from members of parliament. Nevertheless, the role of backbenchers has changed in the context of European integration. New ways of behaving, thinking and representing have emerged. From specialized representatives to constituency members, from presidential aspirants to Eurosceptic sovereigntists, French national parliamentarians have adapted differently to the EU. Far beyond the sole scrutiny of European draft legislation, the book provides a comprehensive map of this changing environment. It supports the view that the process has been driven by the search for day-to-day emotional gratifications rather than utilitarian strategies.
Download or read book Narrating Europe written by Michael Gehler and published by Nomos Verlag. This book was released on 2022-10-26 with total page 653 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die Autorinnen und Autoren dieses Bandes haben eine Reihe von Reden von Spitzenpolitikern zur europäischen Integration aus einer großen Zeitspanne (1946-2020) analysiert, wobei sie jede Rede in ihren zeitgeschichtlichen Kontext gestellt und in den biographischen Hintergrund des Redners eingeordnet haben. Die vergleichende Analyse zeigt, dass es notwendig ist, wieder zu entdecken, dass das Ideal des europäischen Einigungswerks genauso spannend sein kann wie andere nationale geschichtliche Kontroversen. Angesichts eines grassierenden Euroskeptizismus kann eine historische Einordnung und Kontextualisierung der Rolle der Kommunikation der europäischen Integration ein nützliches Instrumentarium sein, um die Bedeutung der europäischen Einigung und ihrer Werte zu erklären und zu verstehen.

Download or read book Transnational European and National Labour Relations written by Gerald G. Sander and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-06-22 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book employs an innovative approach to explore the topic of flexicurity and related changes in the working world, the importance of which for the overall economic and social development is gradually being recognised. It focuses on the changing nature of work and its impact on EU law and national labour and social security laws. Though the transformation of regulatory and institutional frameworks of labour relations follows different patterns in different EU Member States, it is nevertheless a common phenomenon that offers an excellent opportunity for mutual learning experiences and comparing notes on best practices. Taking these ideas as a starting point, the book presents a collection of research on various aspects and implications of changing labour relations in the EU Member States. The opening chapters address the internal market dimension of the transformation of employment relations by investigating how social dumping, integration of migrant workers, and cross-border mergers influence national labour policies and laws. The book further analyses linguistic and terminological challenges in the field of labour law in the EU’s multi-lingual legal environment. Subsequent chapters cover various theoretical and practical issues, such as the impact of chain-liability regulatory models on the legal situation of workers in subcontracting networks, and modern work arrangements in the collaborative or ‘gig’ economy. Other chapters are dedicated to issues of jurisdiction and law applicable to individual employment contracts, as well as alternative resolution mechanisms in labour disputes. The next section offers fresh insights on and a critical overview of the well-known Danish and Dutch models of flexicurity, often cited as role models for reforms of labour markets in other EU Member States. Three individual chapters investigate specific aspects of flexicurity in Croatia, in terms of individual dismissals, life-long learning and the impact of non-standard employment on future pension entitlements. One paper explores temporary agency work in Germany as an important instrument of flexicurity, while another discusses various forms of work used in Slovenia in the context of flexibilization of work relations. Many challenges still lie ahead, and the primary aim of this book is to provide a solid basis for informed future discussions.
