Dimitris Triantafyllou " Inspiré par la volonté des citoyens et des États d'Europe... " le projet " constitutionnel " de la Convention, d'un symbolisme incontestable, tente de clarifier les compétences et rationaliser de façon democratique le fonctionnement de l'Union europeenne, en consacrant la loi et en renforçant la legitimite de l'Executif, qui sera dorenavant " bicephale ". Il a cependant ete redige de maniere consensuelle pour passer l'ecueil de la Conference Intergouvernementale et maintient plusieurs derogations a ses principes. Ainsi le progres realise en matiere de Justice et des Affaires interieures (y compris la Charte des droits) ne se retrouve pas en matiere de politique etrangere qui, malgre le nouveau Ministre, demeure attachee a l'unanimite, tout comme d'autres secteurs sensibles au niveau national. Cette difficulte pose la question de savoir si la recherche de l'unanimite pour son adoption est la bonne approche ou si c'est l'Europe a deux vitesses qui devra se generaliser.

Esta obra trata de la génesis y desarrollo de la Comunidad Europea como entidad cultural, política y económica. Desde la Antigüedad grecorromana, pasando por la Edad Media y hasta la modernidad, se d

Crisis after crisis has beset the European Union in recent years - Greek sovereign debt, Russian annexation of Crimea, unprecedented levels of migration, and the turmoil created by Brexit. An organization originally designed to regulate and enforce rules about fishing rights, wheat quotas and product standards has found itself on the global stage forced to grapple with problems of identity, sovereignty and solidarity without a script or prompt. From Paris to Berlin, London to Athens, European leaders have had to improvise on issues that the Union was never set up to handle and which threaten to engulf this unique political entity. And they have had to do so in full view of an increasingly disenchanted and dissonant public audience. In this candid and revealing portrayal of a Europe improvising its way through a politics of events and not rules, Luuk van Middelaar makes sense of the EU's political metamorphosis over its past ten years of crisis management. Forced into action by a tidal wave of emergencies, Van Middelaar shows how Europe has had to reinvent itself by casting off its legal straitjacket and confronting hard issues of power, territorial borders and public authority. Alarums and Excursions showcases the fascinating relationship between the Union and the European heads of government, and the stresses it must withstand in dealing with real world events. For anyone seeking to understand the inner power play and constitutional dynamics of this controversial, but no less remarkable, political institution, this book provides compelling reading.

This is a major new thematically organized introductory text on European Politics covering West, Central and Eastern Europe in an integrated way. Illustrated throughout with a wide range of boxes, figures and tables, the book uses Sweden, the UK, the Netherlands, France, Spain, Italy, Germany, the Czech Republic and Poland as examples for systematic comparison throughout, adding consideration of a range of other countries as particularly relevant in each chapter to provide a concise but comprehensive introduction to governance and politics across the whole continent.

The laws that legislatures adopt provide the most important and definitive opportunity elected politicians have to define public policy. But the ways politicians use laws to shape policy varies considerably across polities. In some cases, legislatures adopt detailed and specific laws in efforts to micromanage policy-making processes. In others, they adopt general and vague laws that leave the executive and bureaucrats substantial autonomy to fill in the policy details. What explains these differences across political systems, and how do they matter? The authors address this issue by developing and testing a comparative theory of how laws shape bureaucratic autonomy. Drawing on a range of evidence from advanced parliamentary democracies and the American states, they argue that particular institutional forms have a systematic and predictable effect on how politicians use laws to shape the policy making process.

Spain's membership of the European Union since 1986 has had a major impact. Driven primarily by political concerns to secure democracy, membership has also served as a catalyst to dynamic economic development in Spain. This book analyzes how the EU has helped shape the political process in Spain, focusing on the key institutions and the policy process. At the same time, Spain's increasingly proactive role within the EU is also explored, with particular attention given to the country's international position in post Cold War Europe.
