Download or read book The Nordic Countries and the European Union written by Caroline Howard Grøn and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-02-20 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In European policy-making, the Nordic countries are often viewed as a relatively coherent bloc; in international and European affairs the Nordic position has traditionally been conditioned on being different from and better than Europe. This book offers a coherent, original and systematic comparative analysis of the relationship between the Nordic countries and the European Union over the past two decades. It looks at the historical frame, institutions and policy areas, addressing both traditional EU areas such as agriculture and more nascent areas affecting the domestic and foreign policies of the Nordic countries. In doing so, it examines how the Nordic approach to European policy-making has developed and explains why the Nordic countries are similar in some respects while differing in others when engaging with EU institutions. In highlighting the similarities and differences between the Nordic countries it explores what lessons – positive and negative – may be drawn from this approach for the Nordic countries and other small states. This book will be of interest to scholars, students and practitioners engaged with the Nordic Countries, EU politics and policy-making, European politics and comparative politics.

Download or read book Modern Issues in European Law written by Göran Melander and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-07-24 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this book, written in honour of Lennart Pålsson, emeritus Professor of Public and Private International Law at the University of Lund, give a valuable insight into Nordic perspectives on a number of issues of great current interest and importance. The Editor has succeeded in putting together a fascinating collection, which covers, inter alia, competition law in the European Union, the judicial system of the EU in the light of the Intergovernmental Conference, the application of foreign law in Swedish courts, Human Rights and university policy, aspects of the new Nordic Law on carriage of goods by sea and Comparative Law as a yardstick for academic legal education. The book will be a valuable addition to the literature of European Law containing, as it does, some new and unconventional ideas.

Download or read book The Danish EU Opt Outs written by Christian Thorning and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2024-10-03 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers the first comprehensive legal study dedicated to the understanding of the Danish EU opt-outs. The impact of these is significant, falling as they do within Union citizenship, the euro, defense cooperation and the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice. Through a re-examination of the opt-outs individually, collectively and temporally, the book sheds light on their legal design and their interplay between international law, EU law and national law. This pioneering book takes a legal-doctrinal approach, which provides readers with a solid understanding of the opt-outs. Academics, judges and European Union civil servants will find this invaluable.

Download or read book Lobbymakt i EU written by Olle Nygårds and published by Triginta AB. This book was released on 2013-09-20 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lobbyisterna har tagit över Bryssel. Och lobbyaktiviteterna har de senaste åren eskalerat. Politikerna har förlorat makten till särintressen som formar politiken genom tankesmedjor, lobbyorganisationer och mäktiga intresseföreningar. Ungefär 80 procent av de lagar som påverkar Sverige kommer från EU. Men vilka är krafterna som i bakgrunden rycker i beslutsfattarnas trådar? Författarna lyfter på locket till Bryssels dolda makthavare: Lobbyisterna. Skildringar ges från olika miljöer där frön till EU-lagar diskret strös ut i välplanerade strategiska kampanjer. Vi får besöka ”oberoende” seminarier hos tankesmedjor och bevittna arbetsmöten i EU-parlamentet dit lobbyister får tillträde trots politikers missnöje. Samtidigt står det klart att svenska företag förlorar stora pengar på att de ännu inte förstått hur inflytelserikt Bryssel är. Nuvarande och tidigare EU-kommissionärerna Cecilia Malmström och Anita Gradin intervjuas. Det gör också EU-parlamentarikerna Carl Schlyter, Christofer Fjellner, Gunnar Hökmark och Marita Ulvskog. Författarna har även träffat den svenska makteliten i form av Erik Belfrage – svensk industriman och rådgivare till familjen Wallenberg och med aktiv roll i Bryssels tankesmedjor: ”… Det är ett bra sätt att få tillträde till kommissionen och kommissionärerna, och det gäller för övrigt också att det underlättar i kontakterna med EU-parlamentet och Europeiska rådet.” Tankesmedjan Ecipes vd och grundare Fredrik Erixon, utsedd till en av Bryssels 30 mest inflytelserika av Financial Times, hymlar inte med hur det ser ut: ”… Vi får ofta erbjudanden från både stater och företag om att göra studier mot betalning där de på förhand säger vad de vill ha ut av den.” Karl Isaksson, chef för lobbygiganten Kreab Gavin Andersons Brysselkontor: ”På samma sätt som alla har rätt till en advokat, på samma sätt tycker jag att alla har rätt till en lobbyist. ”Det finns exempel på regelutformningar där det ges ekonomiska incitament för att exempelvis bilar eller andra fordon inte ska vara äldre än ett visst antal år. En sådan lag, vilken vid första anblicken ser ut att handla om säkerhet eller miljö, kan mycket väl vara initierad från bilindustrin i syfte att sälja fler bilar.” Om författarna. Olle Nygårds är journalist specialiserad på näringslivsfrågor och med fil. kand i nationalekonomi. Han har tidigare arbetat som underrättelseanalytiker och även arbetat med korruptionsfrågor. Födelseår är 1969. Minal Parekh Nygårds är egenföretagare och javaprogrammerare. Födelseår är 1971. ”Vi är positiva till företagande men tveksamma till all sammanblandning av politik och näringsliv som sker utan insyn.” Boken är skriven under åren 2012 och 2013 och till stor del från Frankrike och Belgien.

Download or read book The European Union after Lisbon written by Søren Dosenrode and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-02-17 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A few years have passed since the Lisbon Treaty came into force but the question still remains of what the Lisbon Treaty has actually brought about. Was it just 'relatively insignificant' as some scholars have claimed, or was it 'something' more? This book sets out to look at this question and it does so by applying a classical division: polity, politics and policy. One of the book's conclusions is that the Lisbon Treaty might have been 'plan b' compared to the aborted Constitutional Treaty, but it is certainly a substantial step forward on the European path of integration. The Lisbon Treaty strengthened the EU both as a polity (its stateness), and in its politics (the rules and procedures) and in spite of the fact that the treaty was not really a 'policy treaty', it has extended the Union's field by federalizing most of the policies within the area of Justice and Home Affairs. This anthology brings together scholars from four European countries each of them a specialist within the fields they are analyzing. Each scholar adds insights from their area of competence to the book, leaving it an important contribution to the study of today's European Union.

It gives an overall view of the status of the main EU policies with relevance for the Arctic and identifies the main challenges the EU has to face for progressing to an integrated and coherent Arctic policy.

Download or read book European Union Enlargement written by Jurgen Elvert and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-08-02 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: European Union Enlargement provides a comparative analysis of the post-war European policies of those states that joined the European Union between 1973 and 1995. The volume draws upon new empirical research in order to investigate the policies that these 'newcomer' states have had towards Europe since 1945, with an emphasis on their experience of membership and its possible Europeanising effect. A final comparative chapter draws the national European policies of the 'newcomers' together and outlines what they have brought to the EU. The book also tests integration theories against the available evidence, demonstrating their limited explanatory value and the economic, political and cultural specificity of different national paths towards EU integration.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Danish Politics written by Peter Munk Christiansen and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2020-06-11 with total page 735 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Handbook of Danish Politics provides the most comprehensive and thorough English language book on Danish politics ever written. It features chapters by 50 leading experts who have contributed extensively to the field they write about. Why is Denmark an interesting topic for a Handbook? In some respects, Danish political institutions and political life are very similar to that of other small, North European countries such as the other Scandinavian countries and Netherland. However, in other respects, Danish politics is interesting in its own right. For instance, Denmark has a world record in minority governments. According to standard scholarly knowledge, this should result in unstable governments and a bad economy. This is not the case, however, since Denmark has a rather stable political system and a strong and robust economy among the strongest in Europe. How? The Danes have continued reservations towards the EU despite close to 50 years of EC/EU membership, and the Danes rejected the Maastricht Treaty in 1992. Still, the EU issue is handled in ways that do not call for large political battles. How? A third example is that Denmark used to be known as a tolerant and liberal society; its Jews were almost all saved during German occupation during WWII, Denmark was the first country to free pornography, and the first country to formally register same-sex couples. Yet recent Danish politics has also been associated with xenophobia and anti-Muslim sentiments. Why?

Download or read book The Treaty on European Union TEU written by Hermann-Josef Blanke and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-26 with total page 1821 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The major Commentary on the Treaty on European Union (TEU) is a European project that aims to contribute to the development of ever closer conceptual and dogmatic standpoints with regard to the creation of a “Europeanised research on Union law”. This publication in English contains detailed explanations, article by article, on all the provisions of the TEU as well as on several Protocols and Declarations, including the Protocols No 1, 2 and 30 and Declaration No 17, having steady regard to the application of Union law in the national legal orders and its interpretation by the Court of Justice of the EU. The authors of the Commentary are academics from ten European states and different legal fields, some from a constitutional law background, others experts in the field of international law and EU law professionals. This should lead to more unity in European law notwithstanding all the legitimate diversity. The different traditions of constitutional law are reflected and mentioned by name thus striving for a common framework for European constitutional law.

Book excerpt: Under EU :s långa tillkomstperiod spelade kulturfrågorna en undanskymd roll. Vägen till europeisk enighet gick mindre genom kulturell gemenskap och mer genom ekonomisk integration. Detta kommer att ändra sig. Genom många små steg kommer kulturfrågorna att bli allt viktigare fram mot år 2040. Men Sverige riskerar att hamna i otakt. (Ett kapitel ur antologin Framtiden är nu.)

Download or read book National Regional and Minority Languages in Europe written by Gerhard Stickel and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2011 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European linguistic diversity goes far beyond the official national languages of the present 27 member states of the European Union. In every country several languages of smaller or larger groups of speakers are used besides the official language or the languages of the majority population. These languages are autochthonous languages that have been used for a long time in the individual country as well as allochthonous languages of different groups of migrants and their descendants. The sometimes complicated relations between national, regional and minority languages within various countries are discussed in this volume. Besides reports on several countries, the general sociolinguistic and legal conditions are dealt with in overview contributions. In addition, the Dublin Declaration on the relationship between official languages and regional and minority languages in Europe is presented in 24 languages.

Download or read book The Routledge Handbook of the Politics of Brexit written by Patrick Diamond and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-08 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The surprise decision expressed by the British people in the referendum held in June 2016 to leave the European Union was remarkable. It also presents a "natural experiment" where the exposure of a society to an extraordinary event allows scholars to observe, in real time in the real world, the interaction of variables. The Routledge Handbook of the Politics of Brexit takes stock of what we know in the social science community about the Brexit phenomenon so far and looks to make sense of this remarkable process as it unfolds. The book asks simple questions across a range of areas and topics so as to frame the debate into a number of navigable "subdiscussions", providing structure and form to what is an evolving and potentially inchoate topic. As such, it provides a systematic account of the background for, the content of, and the possible implications of Brexit. The handbook therefore does not examine in detail the minutiae of Brexit as it unfolds on a day-to-day basis but raises its sights to consider both the broad contextual factors that shape and are shaped by Brexit and the deeper sources and implications of the British exit from the European Union. Importantly, as interest in Brexit reaches far beyond the shores of the United Kingdom, so an international team of contributors examines and reveals the global implications and the external face of Brexit. The Routledge Handbook of the Politics of Brexit will be essential reading and an authoritative reference for scholars, students, researchers and practitioners involved in and actively concerned about research on Brexit, British politics, European Union politics, and comparative politics and international relations.
