America's Perceptions of Europe
This book seeks to rectify Americans' views of its closest ally, Europe - an ambitious task, but one sorely lacking in the literature. Many prejudices about Europe surface in headlines, while others remain latent, but they are real, pervasive and ingrained.
Civil Society, Rhetoric of Resistance, and Transatlantic Trade
This book investigates the politics of transatlantic trade, specifically the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership negotiations. Using a novel approach, the authors analyze the rhetorical choices made by opponents and supporters of an agreement, and the logical behind their arguments. Opponents used emotive frames and strategically chosen issues to increase public opposition to the negotiations; supporters countered, but also accommodated, parts of opponents’ rhetoric in hopes of quelling discontent. The study also highlights the resulting changes to EU trade policy, thus contributing to the literatures on trade policy, politicization, and rhetorical analysis.
The European Union beyond the Crisis
This volume explores institutional and policy developments in the EU and its member states in a parallel examination of citizens’ views of the effectiveness of crisis response reflected in public trust, output legitimacy, and satisfaction with democracy. Our approach to understanding the crisis posits EU-level governance and institutional change, national-level policymaking, and domestic politics as interrelated, interdependent domains of political action and public spheres that collectively shape the political landscape of post-crisis Europe. The volume sheds new light on the relationship among the institutional, policy, and polity consequences of the crisis. The book has two fundamental ...
European Union Contested
The European Union's foreign policy and its international role are increasingly being contested both globally and at home. At the global level, a growing number of states are now challenging the Western-led liberal order defended by the EU. Large as well as smaller states are vying for more leeway to act out their own communitarian principles on and approaches to sovereignty, security and economic development. At the European level, a similar battle has begun over principles, values and institutions. The most vocal critics have been anti-globalization movements, developmental NGOs, and populist political parties at both extremes of the left-right political spectrum. This book, based on ten c...
Lobbying in the European Union
This book sheds new light on how lobbying works in the European Union. Drawing on the first-hand professional experience of lobbyists, policymakers, and corporate and institutional stakeholders, combined with a sound academic foundation, it offers insights into successful lobbying strategies, such as how alliances are formed by interest groups in Brussels. The authors present key case studies, e.g. on the shelved EU-US trade deal Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), lobbying scandals, and the role of specific interest groups and EU Think-Tanks. Furthermore, they highlight efforts to improve transparency and ethical standards in EU decision-making, while also underscoring the benefits of lobbying in the context of decision-making. Understanding the tools and techniques of effective lobbying, as well as the dynamics and trends in EU lobbying, will allow professionals involved in the lobbying process, such as policymakers and corporate and institutional stakeholders, to improve their performance and achieve better results when pursuing their respective interests.
Mega-regional Trade Agreements
This volume brings together leading experts in the field of international economic law to address the legal complexities of the TTIP, CETA, and TISA treaties and provide an explanation of their core principles. It also addresses the controversies surrounding the treaties, including their regulatory ambition and insufficient transparency.
Understanding the EU as a Good Global Actor
This timely book investigates the EU’s multi-faceted development as a global actor, unpacking its legal mission to be a ‘good’ actor as well as exploring the complexities of fulfilling this objective. It elicits critical reflections on the question of ‘goodness’ in EU external relations from descriptive, analytical and normative perspectives, and examines which metrics of actorness are useful in tackling this subject.
Mega-regionalism and Great Power Geo-economic Competition
The regional trade governance architecture is in flux. The latest wave of regionalism in the form of mega-regional trade partnerships between countries with major shares of the world economy occurred in the aftermath of the Global Financial Crisis of 2008-09. The most systematically important mega-FTAs included the Trans-Pacific Partnership led by the United States (US), the China-backed Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership, and the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership between the European Union (EU) and the US. Drawing on policy diffusion and competitive regionalism literatures, Xianbai Ji develops an innovative model of competitive spill-over to uncover the historical and ...
Revista Philohistoriss, an VII, nr. 11, iulie 2021
Revista PhiloHistoRiSs apare de două ori pe an, în lunile iunie și decembrie și își propune să încurajeze studenții să se familiarizeze cu activitatea științifică și cu domeniul academic. Cercetarea ştiinţifică reprezintă unul dintre cele mai importante domenii de activitate pentru asigurarea unei dezvoltări durabile a României. În ciuda multitudinii de reforme ale sectorului Cercetare-Dezvoltare-Inovare (CDI) din ultimii 20 de ani cercetarea rămâne un domeniu subfinanţat, iar numărul cercetătorilor cu mult sub media europeană. În cadrul documentului: Strategia Naţională de Cercetare, Dezvoltare, Inovare 2014-2020 este subliniat explicit faptul că judecând după standardele internaţionale, dar şi după nevoile interne, România nu are destui cercetători. Astfel, scopul revistei este acela de a contribui la dezvoltarea personală şi profesională a studenţilor Facultăţii de Istorie şi Filosofie.
