U.S.- EC Relations In The Post-cold War Era
Relations between the European Community and the United States are taking on a new momentum. Are we heading towards a period of greater US-EC co-operation, or will the rapidly changing economic structure in Europe lead to possible conflicts across the Atlantic? This book offers an analysis of the economic implications of the current European Commu
Beyond Containment and Division
The collapse of the totalitarian system and the disintegration of the Soviet Union took the West by complete surprise. For many years Western cooperation and West European integration proceeded on the assumption that the division of Europe and Germany would be there to stay. As a consequence, the Western states are now having great difficulties in adapting their cooperative arrangements to the challenges of a new European environment, and in coping with the political problems that had been swept under the carpet for the sake of preserving `bipolar stability'. In his new book, Alting von Geusau offers a fresh and timely analysis of Western cooperation from a post-totalitarian perspective. He ...
The Global Reach of European Refugee Law
Examination of the worldwide emulation of key norms of European refugee protection through transnational processes and actors.
Reforming Europe
In the 2009 elections, the European centre-right emerged victorious, thus affirming its political domination in contemporary European politics. The aim of this book is not to provide an analysis of the factors that contributed to the EPP’s political prevalence. Instead, it is to help this large political family maintain its vigour of political thought and policy prescriptions. The book provides a forum for prominent centre-right thinkers to debate the major European problems of our times, with particular emphasis on the management of the financial crisis and the next institutional steps regarding the European integration project. It assembles the views of politicians, academics and think-tank fellows from different national backgrounds and dissimilar ideological perspectives, who unfold their vision for Europe’s future. Overall, the book attempts to both highlight and stimulate the centre-right contribution to the discussion of Europe’s main contemporary challenges.
Operation Barbarossa
This book purports that, given Operation Barbarossa's concept and scope, it would have been impossible without Nazi ideology, that we cannot understand it in the absence of its reference to the Holocaust. It asks and attempts to answer whether we can describe ideology without reference to ethics and speak about genocide while ignoring philosophy.
The External Relations of the European Community
This is an analysis of the external relations of the European Community with particular reference to the impact of the completion of its internal market at the end of 1992. Separate chapters examine relations with the USA, Japan, the EFTA countries (Austria, Switzerland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland and Liechtenstein), Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, the Mediterranean countries, the Third World (through the Lom Singapore and Thailand) and Australia and New Zealand.
The future of the European Union
Proposals for reforms for the EU as a whole are likely to find a more favourable reception than possible requests for further 'special treatment' for the UK. The Committee is sceptical that other Member States would be willing to renegotiate existing EU law so as to allow the UK on its own to reduce its degree of integration, especially where this could be seen as undermining the integrity of the Single Market. Other Member States appear to want the UK to remain an EU Member. Closer Eurozone integration is a potential risk to the position of the UK and other non-Eurozone states in the EU. However, the December 2012 agreement on the Single Supervisory Mechanism for banking regulation shows wh...
The European Union's Non-Members
The EU is a supranational organization, whose reach and influence extends well beyond its member states, especially to the many states that have signed various forms of association agreement with it. This book asks whether qualifying states who have eschewed EU membership experience negative effects on their legal and political self-governing abilities, or whether they manage their independence with few such effects. It explores the idea that the closer the affiliation a non-member state has with the EU, the more susceptible to hegemony the relationship appears to be. In addition, the book provides an overview of the total range of agreements the EU has with non-member states. This text will be of key interest to scholars and students of in EU/European studies, Scandinavian studies, European and comparative politics, international relations, and democratization studies.
The Nordic States and European Unity
The idea of European unity, which the Nordic states have historically resisted, has recently become the foremost concern of Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Iceland, and Finland. Christine Ingebritsen provides a timely analysis of Nordic economic and security policies in the wake of the vast transformation of regional politics between 1985 and 1995. The Nordic States and European Unity addresses two central questions: Why did all five Nordic states trade autonomy for integration after 1985? And why do some follow the British pattern, resisting supranationalism, while others prefer the German strategy of embedding their policies in a common European project?Through extensive interviews with represent...
Deepening and Widening
Eighteen articles discuss the leading EU issues and institutional reforms at the end of this century, such as enlargement, security, and monetary union, as well as relations with the US, Russia, and the new World Trade Organization. Although the contents are not exclusively determined by that agenda, the volume was prepared and edited on the eve of and during the early months of the 1996 IGC, which highlighted the struggle between those who seek a more integrated and even a federal Europe and those proposing a looser confederation.
