The European project has, within only 52 years, achieved a surprising momentum, and the European Union is now approaching full statehood. This book presents a timely examination of what appears to be the emerging European State.
Approaching the EUropean Federation?
The European project has, within only 52 years, achieved a surprising momentum, and the European Union is now approaching full statehood. The Convention on the Future of Europe has finished its work and handed over a proposal for a constitutional treaty to the Heads of State and Government of the EU. It is therefore the ideal time to present an integrated analysis of what appears to be the emerging European State. This key volume therefore discusses the central questions and concepts within the field of European studies, which include federalism, the relationship between statehood and constitution, integration and constitution, the regions in the 'new' Europe and the EU as an international actor. These discussions are then developed and analyzed in relation to the draft constitution. Timely and insightful, the volume is suitable for courses on European integration, federalism and international politics.
German Foreign Policy Since Unification
This book examines the extent to which German foreign policy has changed since unification, and analyzes the fundamental reasons behind this change. The book has three main aims. The essays develop theories of foreign policy to predict and explain Germany's foreign policy behavior. They test competing predictions about German foreign policy behavior since unification in several issue areas. They also assess the much-debated question as to whether post-unification Germany's foreign policy is marked by continuity or change.
Networks of Nazi Persecution
The persecution and mass-murder of the Jews during World War II would not have been possible without the modern organization of division of labor. Moreover, the perpetrators were dependent on human and organizational resources they could not always control by hierarchy and coercion. Instead, the persecution of the Jews was based, to a large extent, on a web of inter-organizational relations encompassing a broad variety of non-hierarchical cooperation as well as rivalry and competition. Based on newly accessible government and corporate archives, this volume combines fresh evidence with an interpretation of the governance of persecution, presented by prominent historians and social scientists.
Urban Governance in Europe
Hauptbeschreibung This book looks at the consequences and implications of an emerging new way of local politics in Europe.

The Europeanisation of National Administrations
A comparative assessment of the factors influencing administrative adjustment to European policy.
Euro-corporatism?
This work looks at the process of European integration by focusing on interest intermediation in the European Community. In order to characterize and explain various patterns of interest intermediation, the author employs a modified, neo-institutionalist approach. This framework provides a coherent picture of interest intermediation and explains the variety of bargaining patterns and interest group participation in EC policy-making. This study also looks at issues important to the future of the European Union, focusing on policy-making, governance, and fair distribution of costs and benefits of integration. Euro-Corporation? will interest students and scholars of international relations, regional integration, European politics and European integration, interest groups, and industrial relations.
The Dynamics of Change in EU Governance
The emergence, execution and evolution of new modes of governance across several policy fields - and encompassing all three pillars of the European Union - are mapped, analyzed and evaluated. In particular, the expert contributors focus on the ways in which these innovative mechanisms and practices interrelate, how they relate to ?old' methods of governance, and what their implications are both for the effectiveness and efficiency of policymaking. Conclusions are drawn in the form of an integrated new framework that explains the dynamics of EU governance with an ?integrative spiral' driven by the interrelation between the legal and the living architecture of the EU. Linking research on modes of governance to the analysis of the basic legal, institutional and procedural features of the EU up to the Lisbon Treaty, this book will prove essential reading for scholars, researchers and policy makers in the fields of European studies, law and economics, and political science and theory.
