Book The End of the Ever Closer Union

Download or read book The End of the Ever Closer Union written by Hannes Hofmeister and published by Nomos Verlag. This book was released on 2018-06-27 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Der europäische Integrationsprozess war eine der Erfolgsgeschichten des letzten Jahrhunderts. Dabei war es stets das vorrangige Bestreben die Integration voranzutreiben, indem die gegenseitige Zusammenarbeit immer weiter vertieft wurde ("ever closer Union"). Der Brexit hat diesem Konzept offensichtlich ein Ende gesetzt. Ist dies - horribile dictu - der Beginn des Endes der EU? Um diese komplexe Frage zu beantworten, werden in diesem Band eine Reihe wichtiger Aspekte der sich abzeichnenden '-xits' analysiert - sei es Brexit, Grexit oder Plexit. Die Autoren entwickeln vielfältige Lösungsansätze für die entstehenden Probleme, wie die Neuausrichtung und Abgrenzung der Zuständigkeiten der EU, einen neuen normativen Rahmen für einen geordneten Rückzug aus der Eurozone und eine stärkere Betonung der Rolle der Regionen in Europa.

Book Ever Closer Union

Download or read book Ever Closer Union written by Perry Anderson and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2021-09-28 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive, critical assessment of the EU after Brexit The European Union is a political order of peculiar stamp and continental scope, its polity of 446 million the third largest on the planet, though with famously little purchase on the conduct of its representatives. Sixty years after the founding treaty, what sort of structure has crystallised, and does the promise of ever closer union still obtain? Against the self-image of the bloc, Perry Anderson poses the historical record of its assembly. He traces the wider arc of European history, from First World War to Eurozone crisis, the hegemony of Versailles to that of Maastricht, and casts the work of the EU’s leading contemporary analysts – both independent critics and court philosophers – in older traditions of political thought. Are there likenesses to the age of Metternich, lessons in statecraft from that of Machiavelli? An excursus on the UK’s jarring departure from the Union considers the responses it has met with inside the country’s intelligentsia, from the contrite to the incandescent. How do Brussels and Westminster compare as constitutional forms? Differently put, which could be said to be worse?

Book The Europe Illusion

    Book Details:
  • Author : Stuart Sweeney
  • Publisher : Reaktion Books
  • Release : 2019-02-28
  • ISBN : 1789140935
  • Pages : 385 pages

Download or read book The Europe Illusion written by Stuart Sweeney and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2019-02-28 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519) was one of the pre-eminent figures of the Italian Renaissance – he was also one of the most paradoxical. He spent an incredible amount of time writing notebooks, perhaps even more time than he ever held a brush, yet at the same time Leonardo was Renaissance culture’s most fanatical critic of the word. When Leonardo criticized writing he criticized it as an expert on words; when he was painting, writing remained in the back of his mind. In this book, Joost Keizer argues that the comparison between word and image fuelled Leonardo’s thought. The paradoxes at the heart of Leonardo’s ideas and practice also defined some of Renaissance culture’s central assumptions about culture and nature: that there is a look to script, that painting offered a path out of culture and back to nature, that the meaning of images emerged in comparison with words, and that the difference between image-making and writing also amounted to a difference in the experience of time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Political economy themes have - directly and indirectly - been a central concern of law and legal scholarship ever since political economy emerged as a concept in the early seventeenth century, a development which was re-inforced by the emergence of political economy as an independent area of scholarly enquiry in the eighteenth century, as developed by the French physiocrats. This is not surprising in so far as the core institutions of the economy and economic exchanges, such as property and contract, are legal institutions.In spite of this intrinsic link, political economy discourses and legal discourses dealing with political economy themes unfold in a largely separate manner. Indeed, this book is also a reflection of this, in so far as its core concern is how the law and legal scholarship conceive of and approach political economy issues"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than 25 years after the fall of the Soviet Union, European integration remains a work in progress, especially in those Eastern European nations most dramatically reshaped by democratization and economic liberalization. This volume assembles detailed, empirically grounded studies of eleven states—Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Slovenia, and the former East Germany—that went on to join the European Union. Each chapter analyzes the political, economic, and social transformations that have taken place in these nations, using a comparative approach to identify structural similarities and assess outcomes relative to one another as well as the rest of the EU.

Book Governance and Politics in the Post Crisis European Union

Download or read book Governance and Politics in the Post Crisis European Union written by Ramona Coman and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-08-27 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European Union of today cannot be studied as it once was. This original new textbook provides a much-needed update on how the EU's policies and institutions have changed in light of the multiple crises and transformations since 2010. An international team of leading scholars offer systematic accounts on the EU's institutional regime, policies, and its community of people and states. Each chapter is structured to explain the relevant historical developments and institutional framework, presenting the key actors, the current controversies and discussing a paradigmatic case study. Each chapter also provides ideas for group discussions and individual research topics. Moving away from the typical, neutral account of the functioning of the EU, this textbook will stimulate readers' critical thinking towards the EU as it is today. It will serve as a core text for undergraduate and graduate students of politics and European studies taking courses on the politics of the EU, and those taking courses in comparative politics and international organizations including the EU.
