Book excerpt: La proiezione in chiave transfrontaliera dell’autonomia riconosciuta alle articolazioni territoriali degli Stati è un fenomeno che ha trovato particolare sviluppo, da un lato, attraverso l’esercizio del c.d. “potere estero” ad esse attribuito dal diritto interno, e, dall’altro lato, nella disciplina internazionale della cooperazione transfrontaliera, la quale, per quanto specificamente riguarda l’ambito regionale europeo, ha rinvenuto negli strumenti normativi adottati nel contesto del Consiglio d’Europa il quadro normativo all’interno del quale esplicarsi. La disciplina del Gruppo Europeo di Cooperazione Territoriale (GECT) di cui al regolamento (CE) n. 1082/2006 del Parlamento europeo e del Consiglio – che costituisce l’oggetto dell’indagine che ci si propone di condurre nel presente lavoro – presenta sicure connessioni con i fenomeni dinanzi descritti, ma se ne discosta in misura significativa, ponendo interrogativi in larga misura inesplorati. L’introduzione del GECT nel diritto dell’Unione europea ha, infatti, dato luogo a specifiche quanto complesse questioni di coordinamento tra le diverse fonti che vengono in rilievo per la disciplina del fenomeno in esame, vale a dire il diritto dell’Unione europea, il diritto degli Stati membri (ma oggi anche di Stati terzi per effetto delle più recenti modifiche) e gli atti costitutivi dei singoli enti di cooperazione. La costituzione di un GECT genera, infatti, un coacervo di relazioni giuridiche – di carattere sia privato che pubblico (con sfumature e contorni peraltro non sempre facilmente distinguibili tra i due ambiti) – fortemente connotate da elementi di internazionalità, dando luogo alla necessità di introdurre una apposita disciplina non soltanto materiale ma anche di conflitto idonea a bilanciare (e tutelare, anche attraverso l’introduzione di appositi strumenti di tutela giurisdizionale) i diversi (e non di rado contrapposti) interessi dei vari soggetti coinvolti (Stati, membri del gruppo di cooperazione e terzi), in funzione, tra l’altro, del conseguimento dello specifico obiettivo sotteso alla disciplina in considerazione, rappresentato dalla promozione della coesione economica, sociale e territoriale tra i diversi Stati dell’Unione europea. In tale prospettiva, la decisione di dedicare il presente lavoro all’esame della disciplina del GECT trae origine dalla consapevolezza che il diritto dell’Unione europea rappresenta il contesto più fecondo per l’evoluzione di soluzioni normative particolarmente avanzate nell’ambito in considerazione. In disparte gli ovvi riferimenti all’elevato grado di effettività della fonte (regolamentare) con cui è stato introdotto lo strumento in esame, ciò è dovuto non soltanto all’esistenza nel diritto dell’Unione europea di un sistema di regole uniformi di diritto internazionale privato (in senso lato) particolarmente avanzato per quanto riguarda l’ambito civile e commerciale (regole che possono offrire la soluzione anche delle complesse questioni che si pongono nel contesto in esame nella misura in cui ne sia intercettato l’ambito applicativo, da ricostruirsi secondo autonomi criteri interpretativi), ma anche a motivo della reciproca fiducia e del livello di armonizzazione che caratterizza numerosi settori del diritto interno dei vari Stati membri, il quale ha di certo favorito l’(opportuno) sviluppo di regole di conflitto anche con riferimento a profili (pubblicistici) tradizionalmente sottratti all’applicazione di tale tecnica, con la finalità – da ultimo espressa nel considerando n. 73 della Direttiva 2014/24/UE del Parlamento europeo e del Consiglio sugli appalti pubblici – di integrare le norme di diritto internazionale privato vigenti nell’ambito civile e commerciale, offrendo un quadro normativo adeguato per la disciplina delle “amministrazioni transfrontaliere” di nuova istituzione. In siffatto contesto si è, quindi, ritenuto che soltanto un’analisi approfondita e “a tutto campo” dello strumento in considerazione potesse, da un lato, offrire un contributo alla soluzione dei numerosi dubbi interpretativi emersi nel primo decennio della sua applicazione pratica e, dall’altro lato, consentire un’adeguata comprensione del fenomeno in esame nelle sue diverse angolazioni e prospettive, con particolare riferimento all’identificazione delle tecniche e delle soluzioni normative impiegate dal regolamento n. 1082/2006 (e dagli altri strumenti di diritto dell’Unione europea che ad esso si affiancano e concorrono nella disciplina del GECT) al fine di bilanciare i diversificati interessi coinvolti nella costituzione e nella gestione dell’ente di cooperazione, offrendo a ciascuno di essi un adeguato livello di tutela (anche giurisdizionale), sempre senza compromettere (ma anzi promuovendo) l’obiettivo rappresentato dallo sviluppo della coesione economica, sociale e territoriale. La disciplina del potere estero attribuito agli enti infra-statali dal diritto interno ed il regime internazionale della cooperazione transfrontaliera (con particolare riferimento agli strumenti adottati nel contesto del Consiglio d’Europa) costituiscono, invece, lo “sfondo” giuridico in cui si colloca la tematica in esame, rappresentando, in taluni casi, l’antecedente storico delle soluzioni recepite all’interno del regolamento n. 1082/2006 e offrendo non di rado spunti per interessanti comparazioni e reciproche “contaminazioni” rispetto alla disciplina in considerazione. Tali argomenti, tuttavia – dei quali sarebbe, peraltro, impossibile offrire una trattazione adeguatamente approfondita all’interno del presente lavoro – costituiscono già oggetto di un consolidato filone scientifico che rappresenta il punto di partenza dell’analisi che ci si propone di intraprendere nella presente sede, sicché ad essi sarà dedicato, anzitutto, il primo capitolo con la esclusiva e limitata finalità di porre le premesse storiche e teoriche per la disamina che seguirà nei capitoli successivi oltre che nella specifica prospettiva di contestualizzare l’oggetto della presente trattazione nell’ambito del più ampio fenomeno in cui lo stesso si colloca. L’acquis del Consiglio d’Europa verrà, infine, in rilievo anche nel settimo ed ultimo capitolo del presente lavoro, ove si tenterà di enucleare alcune soluzioni normative e principi generali qualificanti la “matrice comune” della disciplina della cooperazione transfrontaliera originariamente emersa nell’ambito del quadro normativo internazionale ed oggi caratterizzante la regolamentazione che la cooperazione territoriale riceve in base al diritto dell’Unione europea e, in particolare, al regolamento n. 1082/2006.

Download or read book The Role of Regions and Sub National Actors in Europe written by Stephen Weatherill and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2005-06-15 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays gathered in this collection examine the involvement of self-governing sub-national and regional actors in the law and policy-making of the European Union. State power is today exercised in the context of the complex institutional environment of the EU. But what of regions and sub-national actors? Are their interests adequately represented; can they advance them or can they,at least, protect them from unwitting or calculated damage? This book surveys the broad questions of law and political science and investigates the contribution of the EU's Committee of the Regions and also 'bottom-up' initiatives launched by the regions themselves. Given that much regional autonomy has been hard won, one would suppose that the centralising influence flowing from the EU's intrusion into the domestic settlement would be treated with extreme caution by the regions. Moreover, among the Member States there is great diversity in the patterns of political organisation adopted to cope with the tension between the centralisation of power and respect for local autonomy. Case studies including Spain, Germany and Finland reveal that there is no single consistent historical narrative. States change, as the UK's recent experience illustrates. The book offers findings that are interesting at a general level in investigating patterns of multi-level governance, but is also rich in case-specific information.

Download or read book Coping with Distances written by Jørgen Ole Bærenholdt and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2011-03 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nordic Atlantic area has seen remarkable examples of social formations in areas that many would perceive as too remote to allow the construction of functioning communities. But through innovations, networking and the formation of identities people have coped with distances, thus continuously rebuilding societies in Northern Norway, Iceland, the Faroes, and Greenland. Living conditions in the Nordic Atlantic are so extreme that one might ask whether the notion of society is applicable under these circumstances. The author argues that, yes, there is a meaningful way of comprehending these social formations, which is through the spatial and temporal practices that produce, reproduce, stabilize, destabilize and change them. He introduces the concept of coping, which means neither mastering nor adapting but relates to in-between strategies and tactics reflected in practices of securing people’s way of life under conditions that are never totally under their control.

Download or read book Constituting Federal Sovereignty written by Leslie Friedman Goldstein and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2001-08-21 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Starting from the premise that the system of independent, sovereign, territorial states, which was the subject of political science and international relations studies in the twentieth century, has entered a transition toward something new, noted political scientist Leslie F. Goldstein examines the development of the European Union by blending comparative and historical institutionalist approaches. She argues that the most useful framework for understanding the kinds of "supra-state" formations that are increasingly apparent in the beginning of the third millennium is comparative analysis of the formative epochs of federations of the past that formed voluntarily from previously independent states. In Constituting Federal Sovereignty: The European Union in Comparative Context Goldstein identifies three significant predecessors to today's European Union: the Dutch Union of the 17th century, the United States of America from the 1787 Constitution to the Civil War, and the first half-century of the modern Swiss federation, beginning in 1848. She examines the processes by which federalization took place, what made for its success, and what contributed to its problems. She explains why resistance to federal authority, although similar in kind, varied significantly in degree in the cases examined. And she explores the crucial roles played by such factors as sovereignty-honoring elements within the institutional structure of the federation, the circumstances of its formation (revolt against distant empire versus aftermath of war among member states), and notably, the internal culture of respect for the rule of law in the member states. -- Stephen M.

Download or read book Poland s Constitutional Breakdown written by Wojciech Sadurski and published by Oxford Comparative Constitutio. This book was released on 2019-05-16 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 2015, Poland's populist Law and Justice Party (PiS) has been dismantling the major checks and balances of the Polish state and subordinating the courts, the civil service, and the media to the will of the executive. Political rights have been radically restricted, and the Party has captured the entire state apparatus. The speed and depth of these antidemocratic movements took many observers by surprise: until now, Poland was widely regarded as an example of a successful transitional democracy. Poland's anti-constitutional breakdown poses three questions that this book sets out to answer: What, exactly, has happened since 2015? Why did it happen? And what are the prospects for a return to liberal democracy? These answers are formulated against a backdrop of current worldwide trends towards populism, authoritarianism, and what is sometimes called 'illiberal democracy'. As this book argues, the Polish variant of 'illiberal democracy' is an oxymoron. By undermining the separation of powers, the PiS concentrates all power in its own hands, rendering any democratic accountability illusory. There is, however, no inevitability in these anti-democratic trends: this book considers a number of possible remedies and sources of hope, including intervention by the European Union.

Download or read book The Rule of Law in the European Union written by Theodore Konstadinides and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-09-21 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book about the internal dimension of the rule of law in the European Union (EU). The EU is a community based on law which adheres to and promotes a set of common values between the Member States. The preservation of these values (such as legality, legal certainty, prohibition of arbitrariness, respect for fundamental rights) is pivotal to the success of European integration and the well-being of the individuals within it. Yet, the EU rule of law suffers from an imposter syndrome and has been the subject of criticism: ie that it is only part of the EU agenda in order to legitimise sweeping new powers and policies, and that it plays little or no role in promoting a culture of compliance for either deviant EU Institutions or for Member States. This book will examine whether the EU rule of law deserves those criticisms. It will offer an analytical guide to the EU rule of law by conceptualising it and locating it within the sources of EU law. It will then ask whether the EU is based on the rule of law - a question which is answered in the affirmative, but one which has to be considered in the context of compliance and the overall effectiveness of the EU enforcement acquis. It is argued that while the EU means well in its aim to preserve unity in an increasingly diversified Europe, the extent to which it can pave the way to a better world (based on a transnational rule of law concept akin to good governance and improvement of citizens' lives) is dependent on the commitment of all European integration stakeholders to the EU project.

Download or read book Globalization Regionalization and Cross Border Regions written by Markus Perkmann and published by International Political Econom. This book was released on 2002-07-12 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cross-border regions are newly emerging social spaces stretching across national borders. Globalization makes national borders more permeable and leads to a rearrangement of economic and political interactions. This is particularly pronounced within supra-regional blocs featuring specific internal border regimes. The ensuing opportunities are increasingly seized to create border-spanning discourses and institutions. This is illustrated in the book by a range of experts analyzing cross-border regions in Europe, America, East Asia and Africa.

Download or read book Frontiers of the European Union written by M. Anderson and published by Palgrave Macmillan. This book was released on 2001-01-01 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on original research this book is a unique attempt at a general assessment of EU frontiers. Internal frontiers are losing some of their key functions but there are many responses to the new situation, as a case study of French frontiers abundantly illustrates. An examination of the EU external frontier shows that the EU is acquiring some state-like features, but the eastern frontier provides abundant evidence of the external frontier's complexity. The authors conclude that the increasing openness of national frontiers will continue, but their effective abolition, whether by European integration or through 'globalization', is improbable.

Download or read book European Yearbook of Constitutional Law 2020 written by Ernst Hirsch Ballin and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-03-27 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European Yearbook of Constitutional Law (EYCL) is an annual publication devoted to the study of constitutional law. It aims to provide a forum for in-depth analysis and discussion of new developments in the field, both in Europe and beyond. This second volume examines the constitutional positioning of cities across space and time. Unrelenting urbanisation means that most people are, or soon will be, living in cities and that city administrations become, in many respects, their quintessential governing units. Cities are places where State power is operationalised and concretised; where laws and government policies transform from parchment objectives to practical realities. In a similar vein, cities are also places for the realisation of the constitutional rights and liberties enjoyed by individuals. The book is organised around three sets of relations that await further unpacking in theory as well as practice: that between cities and other institutions in the national constitutional architecture; that between cities and their inhabitants; and that between cities and international organisations. The contributions to this book show the marked diversity in the role and powers available to cities in Europe and beyond, and identify principles and approaches to help stipulate new ways of thinking about the legal role and relevance of cities going forward.
