Download or read book Designing the European Union written by Francis G. Snyder and published by Emile Bruylant. This book was released on 2007 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European Union is at a crossroads. Its 'social dilemma' focuses on the form and direction of economic and social integration and regulation. A dilemma of 'sites of governance' concerns the rote of the EU in the world. Its 'constitutional dilemma' is how to join the resources, traditions and symbolism of states with those of supranational and intergovernmental institutions. These significant issues form the subject of this book. The first part of the book concerns education and social justice, including vocational training, transatlantic competition and cooperation and gender equality and the concept of care. The second part focuses on asylum and immigration, including the diffusion of the Safe Third Country concept and the rote of the Commission in developing EU immigration policy. The third part discusses political identity and constitutionalism, in particular the construction of a European political identity, the European Arrest Warrant and constitutional pluralism and the rote of civil Society in the Convention on the Future of Europe. This bilingual volume comprises the revised versions of papers first presented at the Fourth International Workshop for Young Scholars (WISH) / Quatrième Rencontre Internationale des Jeunes Chercheurs (RIJC). The fourth WISH / RIJC was held in Aix-en-Provence on 18 and 19 November 2005. It was organised by the European Law Journal, together wit h Centre d'Etudes et de Recherches Internationales et Communautaires (CERIC - CNRS-UMR 6201) of the Faculté de Droit et de Science Politique of the Université Paul Cézanne Aix-Marseille III, and the College of Europe (Warsaw). WISH / RIJC is an annual workshop bringing together the most promising young scholars in specific fields of European Union law from throughout the world. Its objective is to identity and discuss themes which are likely to be the most signiticant topics of research in the field of European Union law in the first half of the 21st century. This book is one of the fruits of the fourth WISH / RIJC.
Download or read book Design for a New Europe written by John Gillingham and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-04-27 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did the process of European integration break down; how can it be repaired? In European Integration, 1950–2003, John Gillingham reviewed the history of the European project and predicted the rejection of the European constitution. Now the world's leading expert on the EU maps out a route to save the Union. The four chapters of this penetrating, fiercely-argued and often witty book subject today's dysfunctional European Union to critical scrutiny in an attempt to show how it is stunting economic growth, sapping the vitality of national governments, and undermining competitiveness. It explains how the attempt to revive the EU by turning it into a champion of research and development will backfire and demonstrates how Europe's great experiment in political and economic union can succeed only if the wave of liberal reform now under way in the historically downtrodden east is allowed to sweep away the prosperous and complacent west.
Download or read book Policy Design in the European Union written by Risto Heiskala and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-01-24 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited collection addresses a paradox at the heart of the European Union: if it is a constantly enlarging empire of governance, how can almost thirty member states design policies as an administrative whole, whilst narrowly approaching all political issues from one economic point of view? The contributors to this collection approach this by studying knowledge production, policy formation and policy implementation in the union. The topics covered include the history of the union, its nature as an empire in the making compared to historical successors as well as current USA and China, formation of union level statistical data and policy documents, paradoxes of fiscal governance, social innovation policy, youth and education policy, energy policy and foreign policy with particular regard to Russia. The concluding chapter outlines five alternative future scenarios for the union extending from collapse and marginalization to the emergence of a federal empire. The book is essential reading for anybody interested in the EU, including students and scholars across a range of disciplines, including sociology, political science, international relations, economics, management studies, public and social policy, science and technology studies, and environmental policy.

Download or read book Designing Europe written by David H. McKay and published by Oxford University Press on Demand. This book was released on 2001 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few dispute that one of the most pressing issues for the future of Europe is the question of constitutional design. To what extent will unanimity voting in the Council of Ministers be replaced by qualified majority voting and how should these votes be distributed by country? Should theEuropean Parliament assume a meaningful policy making role? How should the Commission be reformed? Generally this debate uses the existing and past experience of the European Union as a basis for future reform. Comparisons with other political systems, and in particular with those systems thatdevolve power to states, provinces and regions are rarely attempted. Yet with EMU in place and further deepening of EU responsibilities scheduled, much can be learnt from the experience of other systems and especially established federations. Designing Europe shows how in five cases - the US,Canada, Australia, Germany and Switzerland - the rules established in founding constitutions greatly influenced the ways in which federal-state relations evolved. In some cases, for example Canada, these rules proved inappropriate for the balance of provincial and central power, while in others,such as Switzerland, more favourable institutional rules prevailed. In all cases political parties have played a major role in brokering this balance of central and regional power. And in all cases intergovernmental fiscal relations have been central to the debate. Designing Europe concludes that because, like Switzerland, the EU is both highly decentralised and heterogeneous, super-majoritarian decision rules should apply to EU decision making. In addition further checks on central power should be provided through a carefully coded constitution which couldonly be amended via popular approval in member states.

Download or read book Designing a European Fiscal Union written by Carlo Cottarelli and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-11-13 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does the European Union need closer fiscal integration, and in particular a stronger fiscal centre, to become more resilient to economic shocks? This book looks at the experience of 13 federal states to help inform the heated debate on this issue. It analyses in detail their practices in devolving responsibilities from the subnational to the central level, compares them to those of the European Union, and draws lessons for a possible future fiscal union in Europe. More specifically, this book tries to answer three sets of questions: What is the role of centralized fiscal policies in federations, and hence the size, features and functions of the central budget? What institutional arrangements are used to coordinate fiscal policy between the federal and subnational levels? What are the links between federal and subnational debt, and how have subnational financing crises been handled, when they occurred? These policy questions are critical in many federations, and central to the current discussions about future paths for the European Union. This book brings to the table new, practical insights through a systematic and comprehensive comparison of the EU fiscal framework with that of federal states. It also departs from the decentralization perspective that has been prominent in the literature by focusing on the role of the centre (which responsibilities are centralized at the federal level and how they are handled, rather than which functions belong to the local level). Such an approach is particularly relevant for the European Union, where a fiscal union would imply granting new powers to the centre.

Download or read book Designing for Policy Effectiveness written by B. Guy Peters and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of policy studies has always been interested in analyzing and improving the sets of policy tools adopted by governments to correct policy problems, and better understanding and improving processes of policy analysis and policy formulation in order to do so. Past studies have helped clarify the role of historical processes, policy capacities and design intentions in affecting policy formulation processes, and more recently in understanding how the bundling of multiple policy elements together to meet policy goals can be better understood and done. While this work has progressed, however, the discussion of what goals policy designs should serve remains disjointed. Here it is argued that a central goal, in fact, 'the' central goal, of policy design is effectiveness. Effectiveness serves as the basic goal of any design, upon which is built other goals such as efficiency or equity.
