This book was released on 2013 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this report, the European Court of Auditors assessed how well the European Commission and the European External Action Service managed the Pegase direct financial support (DFS) programme which has been the EU's largest programme in the occupied Palestinian territory since 2008, providing approximately 1 billion euro in funding from 2008 to 2012. It concludes that the Commission and the European External Action Service succeeded, despite difficult circumstances, in implementing the Pegase DFS programme. However, a number of aspects of the current approach are increasingly in need of an overhaul. While some important results have been achieved, their sustainability cannot be ensured without major revisions such as encouraging the Palestinian Authority to undertake more reforms, notably in relation to its civil service. At the same time, a way needs to be found to engage Israel into taking the necessary steps to help ensure that Pegase DFS is effective." -- Page [4] of cover.
Download or read book Europe and the Occupation of Palestinian Territories Since 1967 written by Federica Bicchi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-12-17 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on key countries and topics, this book looks at Europe’s involvement in the occupation of Palestinian territories. What has been Europe’s role in the occupation of Palestinian territories since 1967? How have European actors responded, countered and/or supported the occupation? The international context of this exceptionally long occupation shows a complex web of denunciations, but also and especially complicit engagements and indifference. The book looks at the perspective of international law, before analysing the European Union and key European countries (France, Germany, Norway, Sweden, United Kingdom). It also embraces different perspectives, from the debate on campus to the role of European multinational companies to the conceptual approach of the World Bank. While much of the literature focuses on Israel, Palestine and the United States, this volume by leading experts adds a very important piece to the puzzle: the European dimension. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the journal, Global Affairs.

Download or read book The European Union and Occupied Palestinian Territories written by Dimitris Bouris and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-02-03 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses the present European Union (EU) approach to state-building, both in policy and operation. It offers a review of the literature on peace-building, EU state-building and conflict resolution, before examining in detail the EU’s role as a state-builder in the case of the Occupied Palestinian Territories following the 1993 Oslo Accords. Drawing on extensive fieldwork and over 140 interviews carried out in Brussels, London, Jerusalem and Ramallah with EU, Palestinian and Israeli officials as well as academics, members of NGOs and civil society, the author evaluates the present approach of state-building and offers a framework to test the effectiveness of the EU as a state-builder. Examining security sector reform, judiciary sector reform and the rule of law, the book brings the ‘voices from the field’ to the forefront and measures the contribution of the EU to state-building against a backdrop of on-going conflict and a polarised social setting. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of international relations, EU politics, Middle Eastern politics, conflict resolution and state-building.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: European security concerns have focused increasingly on the potential for instability on Europe¿s southern flank. In 1995, the European Union developed a framework for cooperation with the southern Mediterranean nations. In the aftermath of 9/11, the goal of encouraging the development of Middle East democracy has acquired greater urgency, not least in the eyes of the U.S., which has bolstered its own efforts to spur democratic reform. It will be important to assess the effectiveness of other democracy-promotion activities, including those undertaken by European counterparts. This report seeks to inform discussion in U.S. policymaking circles by offering an assessment of multilateral European democracy-promotion efforts in the Middle East.

Download or read book The European Union the World Bank and the Policymaking of Aid written by Eugenia Baroncelli and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-01-03 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the experience of the author, an IPE scholar and former trade policy consultant at the World Bank (WB), the book offers an in-depth exploration of the EU–WB relations, conceptualized as hybrid delegation. Coupling cross-time analyses of their interaction in the regions of the Middle East and North Africa, Europe and Central Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa with an original investigation on the coordination among the EU member states at the Executive Board of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development over the ‘voice and participation reform’ of 2008–2010, the book advances an innovative theoretical framework to assess the EU–WB joint institutional and field policy performances. Augmented PA models of delegation, role theory and performance analyses are engaged, and selectively recombined, to investigate the nature, evolution and impact of the interactions of the two organizations, both in their everyday and constituent politics. Hybrid delegation-in-motion is reconstructed, against the background of post-Washington Consensus and post-Lisbon EU, to unveil the changing division of labour between the two largest development multilaterals of the new global context. The book will be of interest to scholars, students and practitioners in European Politics, Development, International Relations, International Political Economy and Global Economic Governance.
