The Return of the Deficit
Prior to the outbreak of the financial crisis in 2008 Belgium's fiscal balances and debt ratios seemed to be on a firm consolidation path. Today, however, Belgium is facing a major budgetary challenge, albeit to some extent lesser than that of other European countries. This book offers a closer look at the evolution of public finance in Belgium over the decade 2000-2010. It covers Belgium's macro-economic environment, its budgetary policy, changes to the tax system and social security, the evolution of public expenditure, debt management, and fiscal federalism.
European Societies, Migration, and the Law
Looks at immigration and asylum legislation and polices in Europe to investigate how immigrants are 'othered' by them.
New Trends in Intra-European Union Mobilities
Mobilities within the European Union (EU) have changed significantly since the classical intra-regional migrations of the 1950s–1970s. After a period of reduced, less visible flows in the 21st century mobilities increased again, first linked to EU expansion towards the East, and from 2008, with renewed South-North flows following the impact of the Great Recession on Southern European countries. It is in this context that the current volume explores how these recent migrations reflect new and more complex patterns of mobility, increasingly uncertain and unstable, involving both natives and naturalised migrants. It also seeks to unpack the multiple connections between these new migration sys...
Re-Activating Critical Thinking in the Midst of Necropolitical Realities
This volume takes as its starting point the question of whether there is a pluriversal generation, a younger group of scholars who do not necessarily collaborate or know each other, but who are currently forming a radical structure that is viral in thought production and reflective on the current global recalibration of social relations, brought about by the necropolitical and necrocapitalist governmentality emerging worldwide. The 23 articles assembled in this volume transcend geographical boundaries, conceive of the world as a single entity, and develop strategies for radical change. They are presented in five subchapters with two lines of demarcation, one for entry, invention, and potentiality, and the other for a grim threshold.
Die sozialen Folgen prekärer Arbeit
Isabel Valdés Cifuentes überprüft in einem europäischen Vergleich, ob prekär Beschäftigte über eine schlechtere soziale Einbettung verfügen als Personen in regulärer Beschäftigung. Die Autorin zieht soziologische und sozialpsychologische Theorien heran und untersucht diese mithilfe quantitativer Mehrebenenanalysen. Die ermittelten Befunde bestätigen die Annahme einer schlechteren Einbettung prekär Beschäftigter für die meisten EU-Länder. Die nationalen Beschäftigungs- und Sozialpolitiken können in begrenztem Maße helfen, die sozialen Folgen prekärer Beschäftigung abzufedern. Isabel Valdés Cifuentes zieht daher den Schluss, dass es aus sozialpolitischer Sicht sinnvoller erscheint, die Entstehung und Verbreitung prekärer Beschäftigung zu bekämpfen anstatt rückwirkend deren Folgen.
Research Handbook on EU Criminal Law
EU criminal law is one of the fastest evolving, but also challenging, policy areas and fields of law. This Handbook provides a comprehensive and advanced analysis of EU criminal law as a structurally and constitutionally unique policy area and field of research. With contributions from leading experts, focusing on their respective fields of research, the book is preoccupied with defining cross-border or ‘Euro-crimes’, while allowing Member States to sanction criminal behaviour through mutual cooperation. It contains a web of institutions, agencies and external liaisons, which ensure the protection of EU citizens from serious crime, while protecting the fundamental rights of suspects and criminals. Students and scholars of EU criminal law will benefit from the comprehensive research present in this Handbook. National and EU policy-makers, as well as judges, defence lawyers and human rights lawyers will find the analysis of current legal action, combined with proposed solutions, useful to their work
The European Union Returns Directive and its Compatibility with International Human Rights Law
The book undertakes a thorough human rights assessment of the EU Returns Directive. The overarching human rights framework, which circumscribes states prerogatives in the context of expulsion, builds upon obligations derived from the principle of non-refoulement; the right to life, respect for family and private life, effective remedy, basic social rights; the prohibition of torture and ill-treatment; and protection against arbitrary detention and collective expulsion. Based on this assessment, Majcher explores several protection gaps in the EU return policy which may result in violations of migrants’ rights and highlights how the provisions of the Directive should be implemented in line w...
Monitoring Border Violence in the EU
This book examines EU external border violence and the role of Frontex, and how it can be made legally and politically accountable for these incidents. The volume sets out what the international standards are for monitoring border violence and how monitors’ independence must be guaranteed and where these standards come from. The book provides realistic options to resolve the crisis by focusing on how effective and independent border monitoring can ensure better human rights compliance at EU external borders. At the centre of the book is the question: how can we achieve effective monitoring of border police, including Frontex, by competent and independent state authorities which have as a mission human rights implementation? The goal of the book is to examine how states can prevent and investigate allegations of such violence and diminish the apparent impunity of those border police who engage in it. This book will be of interest to students of EU policy, law, migration and refugee studies and International Relations.
Frontex and Human Rights
This monograph analyses the allocation of legal responsibility for human rights violations which may occur in the context of border control or return operations, coordinated by the European Border and Coast Guard Agency Frontex.
Haushaltsnahe Dienstleistungen für Familien
Berufstätige Eltern stehen heute vor der Herausforderung, wie sie Jobs, Kinderbetreuung, Hausarbeit, also kurzum die vielen Aufgaben der Arbeit des Alltags gut miteinander vereinbaren können, wenn beide arbeiten. Viele fühlen sich im Alltag gestresst, insbesondere durch die Hausarbeit. Ob haushaltsnahe Dienstleistungen hierbei entlasten können, beantwortet die wissenschaftliche Studie von Mareike Bröcheler. Sie untersucht, inwiefern Haushaltshilfen für Familien die Arbeit des Alltags verringern oder aber neue Aufgaben hervorbringen. Vor dem Hintergrund des Balanceakts zwischen alten und neuen Familien- und Geschlechter-Leitbildern arbeitet die Autorin zum einen heraus, welche Faktoren ...
