The European Union
The European Union affects the lives of Europeans in many and varied ways, yet, in spite of its reach, it often appears a constrained political system – struggling for internal consensus, reliant on the agreement of national governments, and hampered by the scepticism of electorates. These issues have become even more acute in the wake of the global economic and eurozone crises. This new text provides a concise and up-to-date introduction to the nature of the European Union, giving an account of its evolution and structure that makes sense of its current challenges. The text analyses the EU's institutional structure and decision-making procedures, and highlights the manifold conflicts as well as the sophisticated mechanisms for consensus-building among the core institutions. It explains the ways in which the EU differs from other forms of political order, and how this leads to political processes that are characterized by cooperation and conflict. In providing this context, the author invites readers to a critical assessment of the functioning of the European Union, and of the implications of this for its democratic legitimacy and future prospects.
The EU in the Global Political Economy
The EU has become an important international actor. Its internal policies often have repercussions far beyond its borders. It is also increasingly becoming a proactive global actor, defending its interests and projecting its norms and values in both bilateral and multilateral external relations. This volume has a special focus on external economic relations and includes chapters on the Euro, trade policy, and competition policy as well as on specific bilateral relationships. The section on relations with industrialized countries deals with the United States, Canada, Russia, Japan and China, while the section on relations with developing countries has chapters on administrative reform, environmental cooperation, Cuba, Central America and Iran. The book thus gives an up-to-date overview of important aspects of the EU's external relations. With a focus on political economy, it traces the continuous interplay of economics and politics that has characterized the EU's development of a fully-fledged foreign policy. What emerges is a picture of a European Union that is better equipped institutionally to deal with economic, rather than political issues.
Europäische Union und Soziale Arbeit
Die Europäische Union erscheint als abstraktes Gebilde "weit weg" von der hiesigen Sozialen Arbeit, die in ihrer berufl ichen Praxis als persönliche Dienstleistung "vor Ort" vollzogen wird. Da die Europäische Union zudem nicht über Kompetenzen zur Regulierung des Berufszugangs und der Berufsausübung der Sozialen Arbeit in den Mitgliedstaaten verfügt, mag sie für die Profession bedeutungslos erscheinen. Dass eine solche Einschätzung trügt, die EU vielmehr gravierende praktische Auswirkungen auf den deutschen Sozialarbeitssektor zeitigt, über die jede/r BerufspraktikerIn im Bilde sein muss, sollen die Beiträge des vorliegenden Buches verdeutlichen. Mit Beiträgen von: Hans-Jürgen Bieling, Peter Buttner, Peter Hammerschmidt, Anne Hans, Ute Kötter, Juliane Sagebiel, Ingeborg Tömmel, Norbert Wohlfahrt und Aysel Yollu-Tok. (Quelle: buchhandel.de).
Proceedings of the 18th Conference of the Simone de Beauvoir Society
On April 14, 1986, Simone de Beauvoir died in Paris. She was the “prettiest Existentialist”, who during her long and intense life had observed, described, analytically deconstructed and effectively changed the world that surrounded her, “one word at a time”. An engaged intellectual like her life partner and comrade Jean-Paul Sartre, she took actively part in most of the main social and political struggles of the 20th century, including, first and foremost, women’s emancipation and self-determination, as well as the decolonisation of French Algeria, and the denouncement of American imperialism in Vietnam and the marginalisation of elderly people in contemporary societies. This colle...
