Política europea, página 8 de 33

At the beginning of the twenty-first century, Europe is undergoing a process of rapid change. Countries of central and eastern Europe are negotiating to join the European Union; the single currency has been launched; the Treaty of Amsterdam has come into force; the Treaty of Nice has been adopted; and radical reforms are reshaping security organizations such as NATO and the WEU as well as the Union itself. All these and many other developments across the whole field of European integration are surveyed in this new edition of the best-selling Penguin Companion to European Union, now completely revised and brought up to date with more than fifty new entries. Arranged alphabetically, the Companion provides a balanced and comprehensive picture of the ideas, institutions, personalities and political pressures which are shaping the Europe of today. In particular, the Companion covers:

What kind of European Union do top Commission officials want? Should the European Union be supranational or intergovernmental? Should it promote market-liberalism or regulated capitalism? Should the Commission be Europe's government or its civil service? The book examines top officials' preferences on these questions through analysis of unique data from 137 interviews. Understanding the forces that shape human preferences is the subject of intense debate. Hooghe demonstrates that the Commission has difficulty shaping its employees' preferences in the fluid multi-institutional context of the European Union. Top officials' preferences are better explained by experiences outside rather than inside the Commission: political party, country, and prior work leave deeper imprints than directorate-general or cabinet. Preferences are also influenced more by internalized values than by self-interested career calculation. Hooghe's findings are surprising, and will challenge a number of common assumptions about the workings and motives of the European Commission.

David Cameron was elected Conservative leader in 2005, promising to modernise the party following its three successive electoral defeats. He became Prime Minister in 2010, forming Britains first coalition government in 70 years, at a moment of economic crisis, and went on to win the first outright Conservative majority for 23 years at the 2015 general election.In For the Record, Cameron explains how the governments he led transformed the UK economy while implementing a modern, compassionate agenda that included reforming education and welfare, legalising gay marriage, honouring the UKs commitment to overseas aid and spearheading environmental policies. He will shed light on the seminal world events of his premiership the Arab Spring; the rise of ISIS; the invasion of Ukraine; the conflicts in Libya, Iraq and Syria as well as events at home, from the Olympic Games in 2012 to the Scottish referendum.He will also provide, for the first time, his perspective on the EU referendum and his views on the future of Britains place in the world in the light of Brexit.Revealing the battles and achievements of his life and career in intimate and frank detail, For the Record will be an important assessment of the significant political events of the last decade, the nature of power and the role of leadership at a time of profound global change.

O golpe de Estado que acabou coa experiencia socialista de Salvador Allende e a desintegración da URSS permitiron proclamar o fin da historia. Só existiría unha política económica posíbel, a neoliberal, e un unico modo de producion, o capitalista. Contemplamos cincuenta anos de aumento da desigualdade ate niveis extravagantes, precarizacion xeneralizada do traballo e caida da participacion dos salarios no produto total. En resumo, intensificacion da explotacion e extraccion compulsiva de mais-valia.O capitalismo triunfante propon un presente e un futuro de mercantilizacion absoluta da sociedade e a vida humanas, desesperanza e cinismo. O capital mostrase incapaz de reconducir a crise ecoloxica e frear o aumento da temperatura global poñendo en perigo a existencia dunha sociedade humana civilizada. Silicon Valley utiliza as tecnoloxias da informacion, a comunicacion e os datos para converter en mercadorias a subxectividade e os afectos, derrogando de facto o dereito a intimidade. A alianza entre capital e orde patriarcal impide avanzar na igualdade economica real da muller, que terma da tripla carga de traballo retribuido de mercado, domestico e de coidados.E tempo de reabrir un proxecto civilizador que poña o ser humano por diante da producion de mercadorias e mais-valia.

Defending Europe seeks to clarify the competing ambitions, the contrasting visions and the trans-Atlantic tensions related to the recent quest by Europe for autonomy in the sphere of security and defense. Scholars from both sides of the Atlantic explore the development of ESDI within NATO, the revival of the WEU and the launch of the EU''s Common European Security and Defense Policy. Among the issues discussed are the Euro-American capabilities gap, concerns regarding decoupling, discrimination, and duplication, and the complications posed by NATO/EU enlargement. Two contrary conclusions debate whether ESDP is more likely to strengthen or undermine the Atlantic Alliance. This informative foray into trans-Atlantic security and defense issues is a crucial addition to the ongoing dialogue concerning this shifting and evolving relationship.

The notion of a European constitution has previously received unfavourable reactions within the European Union with controversy surrounding its political and legal implications. Criticism has largely revolved around the threat of an emerging European federal state. More recently, however, constitution-building has become a major point of debate among members of the European Community as the drafting of a European constitution becomes more imminent. European Constitutionalism Beyond the State brings together some of the most innovative scholars in the field to highlight different facets of the new constitutional discussion. Provoking deep analysis of the different ideas of constitution and constitutionalism, the book delineates alternative ways of thinking about the future of Europe. In particular, it aims to challenge the idea of the European Union as an evolving federal polity. This book will appeal to anyone interested in the timely subject of constitutionalism including students and practitioners of law, politics and philosophy.
