Which European Union? : Europe After the Euro Crisis
Sergio Fabbrini
Cambridge University Press
Sergio Fabbrini argues that the European Union (EU) is made up of states pursuing different
aims, rather than simply moving in the same direction at different speeds. He describes the
alternative perspectives on the EU (an economic community, an intergovernmental union, and a
parliamentary union), that led to multiple compromises in its structure and shows how the Euro
crisis has called them into question. The book argues that a new European political order is
necessary to deal with the consequences of the crisis, based on an institutional differentiation
between the EU member states interested only in market co-operation and those advancing
towards a genuine economic and monetary union. Such a differentiation would allow the latter
group to become a political union, conceptualised as a compound union of states and citizens,
while preserving a revised framework of a single market in which both groups of states can
participate.
Research Design in European Studies : Establishing Causality in
Europeanization
Theofanis Exadaktylos & Claudio M. Radaelli
Palgrave MacMillan
A seminal text in European studies, which addresses issues of research design and causal
analysis. The chapters draw on different methodological traditions, notions of causality, and
methods and use strong research design to address substantive problems in public policy, party
politics, foreign policy and legislative studies.
Global Migration: Old Assumptions, New Dynamics
Diego Acosta Arcarazo & Anja Wiesbrock Praeger Publishers Inc
This three-volume work exposes myths and debunks misinformation about global migration, an
issue generating emotional debate from the highest levels of power to kitchen tables across the
United States, Europe, and worldwide. It offers the university student or interested lay reader a
broad and accessible introduction to key questions on migration issues in 50 countries spanning 5
continents. It presents cutting-edge research drawn from the eight academic perspectives of law,
economics, politics, sociology, demography, geography, anthropology, and history to allow the
activist, journalist, or specialist to discuss the issues more thoroughly and dispels numerous
common myths surrounding migration, providing more depth and perspective than what is usually
presented in the media.
Routledge Handbook of European Elections
Donatella M. Viola
Routledge
The Routledge Handbook of European Elections explores the multifaceted dimension of the
European Parliament's (EP) electoral contests across the European Community and European
Union since 1979. After setting a general empirical and theoretical framework, this collaborative
project presents original contributions from leading experts in the field. Each case study adheres
to a common template that makes it easy to compare data, methodology and outcomes.
The European Union and the Member States (3rd edition)
Eleanor E. Zeff & Ellen B. Pirro
Lynne Rienner Publishers Inc
Can the European Union survive repeated economic crises? If it survives, will it stay as it is or
take on a new form? This new edition of The European Union and the Member States, fully
revised and updated, addresses these questions as it explores the complex relationship between
the EU and each of its now 28 members. The country chapters follow a common format,
considering: How and in what areas does EU policy affect, and how is it affected by, the member
states? What mechanisms do the member states use to implement EU policy? What is each
state’s compliance record? Covering the full range of political, economic, and social issues, the
authors offer an insightful discussion of the interplay of EU initiatives with strong, existing national
policies and traditions.
Designing a European Fiscal Union: Lessons from the Experience of
Fiscal Federations
Carlo Cottarelli & Martine Guerguil
Taylor & Francis Ltd
Does the European Union need closer fiscal integration, and in particular a stronger fiscal centre,
to become more resilient to economic shocks? This book looks at the experience of 13 federal
states to help inform the heated debate on this issue. It analyses in detail their practices in
devolving responsibilities from the subnational to the central level, compares them to those of the
European Union, and draws lessons for a possible future fiscal union in Europe. More specifically,
this book tries to answer three sets of questions: What is the role of centralized fiscal policies in
federations, and hence the size, features and functions of the central budget? What institutional
arrangements are used to coordinate fiscal policy between the federal and subnational levels?
What are the links between federal and subnational debt, and how have subnational financing
crises been handled, when they occurred?
EU Foreign Policy and the Europeanization of Neutral States:
Comparing Irish and Austrian Foreign Policy
Nicole Alecu de Flers
Taylor & Francis Ltd
his book examines the effects of the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) of the
European Union (EU) on the national foreign policies of Ireland and Austria. Small and neutral EU
member states provide a fascinating case-study as the CFSP entails a dilemma for them. Their
size may create assumptions that they are more likely to adopt EU policy, yet the traditional
position of neutrality may act contrary to Europeanization. By concentrating on this side of the
reciprocal relationship between EU and national foreign policy, the book takes a new and
innovative approach to investigate prospects for a common European foreign policy, and goes
beyond an examination of changes in the national foreign policies of Ireland and Austria to
provide an engaging explanation and understanding of Europeanization.

researcher Maurice Obstfeld, and Marc Melitz of Harvard University continues to set the standard

Brussels Bureaucrats? : The Administration of the European Union
Anne Stevens & Handley Stevens
Palgrave MacMillan
Is "Brussels" the remote and insensitive bureaucracy of popular mythology? The "civil service" of
the European Union is little known. This book provides an accessible account of its structures and
their evolution, the administrative traditions on which they draw and the selection, training and
careers, lifestyle, and ethos of EU officials.
Religion, Politics, and Turkey's EU Accession
Dietrich Jung & Catharina Raudvere
Palgrave MacMillan

from Turkey and the EU. The authors address questions such as the role of religion in EU

The EU and Turkey : A Glittering Prize or a Millstone?
Michael Lake
Federal Trust for Education & Research
This timely publication comes at a period of unprecedented transformation in Europe and in
Turkey. The European Union is coming on terms with its recent Enlargement to include ten new
states. Turkey is making great progress in international modernisation. Each is watching the other
carefully as negotiations for the future EU membership get under way. But can the EU expand to
include a large state with a Muslim culture? Does Turkey's future lie as a potential member of the
European club or instead as a privileged partner? This book is a multi-disciplinary attempt to
illuminate the dimensions of the challenge from different perspectives. Its contributors included
academics and analysts, politicians and practitioners from Turkey, Europe and America. Its
breadth, depth and relevance will make it an invaluable source of reference.
