Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die europäische Integration und die Entwicklung der EU in den letzten 50 Jahren stellen die Schweiz vor grosse staatspolitische Herausforderungen in allen Bereichen des Staatsrechts. Wesentliche Elemente schweizerischer Identität wie die Unabhängigkeit und Souveränität, der Föderalismus, die Neutralität, die Demokratie sowie der Schutz der Individualrechte sind direkt betroffen. Diese Herausforderungen dürfen nicht länger verdrängt werden. Die Schweiz muss sich ihnen stellen und ihre staatspolitischen Chancen und Risiken in Bezug zum europäischen Umfeld kritisch, aber offen reflektieren Das Forum für Universität und Gesellschaft bietet dazu Gelegenheit und Plattform. Was macht die schweizerische Neutralität heute aus? Ist sie ein Instrument zur Wahrung grundlegender Werte, wie Unabhängigkeit und Souveränität, ein Mittel zum Schutz vor Konflikten mit anderen Staaten? Hat sie dieselbe Bedeutung wie vor 50 Jahren? Stellt sie ein Hindernis für die sicherheitspolitische Kooperation dar? Inwieweit ist sie mit einem EU-Beitritt vereinbar? --

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.

Book excerpt: Seit ihrer Grundung spielt die Bundesrepublik eine wichtige Rolle im historisch einmaligen Prozess der europaischen Einigung. Der Sammelband entwickelt eine moderne historische Perspektive auf die bundesdeutsche Europapolitik unter Berucksichtigung sowohl der handelnden Personlichkeiten als auch der gesellschaftlichen, kulturellen, okonomischen und internationalen Triebkrafte und Wandlungen. Nach einer Einfuhrung in die Trends und Kontroversen der Integrationshistoriographie behandeln 28 Beitrage von Historikern und Politologen die Europapolitik der Bundesregierungen von Adenauer bis zur Gegenwart, das Denken und Wirken deutscher Entscheidungstrager in Bonn, Berlin und Brussel sowie das Europabewusstsein ausgewahlter Bundesprasidenten. Im zweiten Teil geht es um gesellschaftliche Krafte und Aspekte wie Mentalitaten, Medien, Industrie und Landwirtschaft. Im dritten und vierten Teil werden Schlusselmomente wichtiger bilateraler Partnerschaften analysiert und die innerdeutschen Sonderbeziehungen von 1949 bis zur deutschen Einheit im Hinblick auf den Integrationsprozess untersucht. Abschliessend wird ein Blick auf die Entwicklung der europaischen Verfassung und das Wechselverhaltnis zwischen nationaler und europaischer Identitat geworfen.

Download or read book Multinational Federalism in Bosnia and Herzegovina written by Soeren Keil and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1995 none of the political parties representing the peoples of Bosnia preferred a federal option. Yet, Bosnia became a federal state, highly decentralised and with a complex institutional architecture. This solution was imposed on them by international actors as a result of peace negotiations following the Yugoslav wars. Political parties in post-war Bosnia were not willing to identify with or accept the federation. The international community intervened taking over key decisions and so Bosnia and Herzegovina became the first state to experience a new model of federalism, namely ’imposed federalism’ and a new model of a federal state, that of the ’internationally administered federation’. By combining comparative politics, conflict analysis and international relations theory Soeren Keil offers a unique analysis of federalism in post-Dayton Bosnia and Herzegovina. By exploring this model of ’imposed federalism’ not only does this study greatly contribute to the literature on developments in Bosnia and Herzegovina it also re-evaluates comparative federalism in theory and practice. This study also offers important conclusions for similar cases, both in the Western Balkans region and the wider world, where international involvement and federalism as a method of conflict resolution in diverse societies becomes ever more prevalent and important.

Book excerpt: On the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the outbreak of World War I in 1914 and the 50th anniversary of the outbreak of World War II in 1939, the contributors to this volume consider the reactions of German writers, artists and intellectuals to each of these wars. In Germany, the first war evoked a broad base of nationalist feeling that touched even those individuals most remembered today for their stances of opposition during the second war. These essays note the changes or intensifications of earlier positions among the German cultural community.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European Community and the Common Market of our day are deeply rooted in World War I and its aftermath. Demonstrating that during the second half of the 1920s the question of a European federation was extensively debated, Pegg reveals that the proponents of federation became convinced that the future was with them and that a European structure would gradually evolve, and he gives the substance of the thinking of several scores of men and women who were most active in the debate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most experts on divided societies and institutional design broadly agree that it is more difficult to establish and maintain a stable, functioning democracy in a country with multiple languages and linguistically fragmented public spheres than in more homogeneous countries. Multilingual countries such as Canada and Belgium have been experiencing considerable difficulties in past decades (see the almost successful 1995 referendum on sovereignty in Quebec or the institutional deadlock and the rise of Flemish nationalism in Belgium since the 1970s). The prospects for the EU to become a viable democracy are even more haunted by multilingualism, considering that it has 24 official languages and no lingua franca. Switzerland, however, is also a multilingual country without a lingua franca, fragmented into 22 mono-lingual and three multilingual cantons, as well as into four distinct public spheres (German, French, Italian, Romansh). And yet it is widely seen as one of the most stable and successful democracies. Conventional wisdom in political science literature suggests that "consociational" political institutions account for the success of Swiss multilingual democracy. This book offers a different institutional explanation. The author argues that in mainstream literature important Swiss institutions - in particular direct democracy, Parliament and the federal executive - have largely been misinterpreted: they have been labelled as consociational, whereas they are rather a product of "centripetalism", an approach to institutional design in which political incentives are directed toward intergroup compromise because of the need to appeal to voters across group lines in order to form majorities. This approach to achieving long-term democratic stability stands in sharp contrast to consociationalism.

Download or read book European Socialists and the State in the Twentieth and Twenty First Centuries written by Mathieu Fulla and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-08-05 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume promotes a comparative and transnational approach to the complex and ambiguous relationship between West European socialism and the contemporary state over the longue durée. It encourages a better understanding of socialism while also casting an original light on the history of the contemporary state in Europe. Socialists have been a prime political force since the late nineteenth century through to the present. Through their strength, their presence at the heart of societies, their dynamism, inventiveness, and influence, they have left their mark on the European physiognomy and helped to forge part of its identity. This is particularly true where the welfare state is concerned, and the role played by the state in constructing, embedding, and extending this social model. Surprisingly, there has been no research aiming to systematically analyse the relationship between socialism and the state. This volume fills a gap in knowledge by rejecting the media simplification and political polemic maintained by opponents of socialism – and sometimes by socialists themselves – which systematically links socialism with “statism”. It focuses on numerous case studies involving France, Italy, Spain, Greece, Austria, Germany, Belgium, the United Kingdom and Scandinavia, and highlights the diversity of organisations within European socialism. Ultimately, this book demonstrates that the fate of this political culture depends on the socialist parties themselves but also on any new configurations that states may assume. Conversely, the future of states will also depend partly on the choices made by socialists, if they still exist and still have the means to shape decisions and make their voices heard.
