Cambridge University Press The Judiciary the Legislature and the EU Internal Market
Book SynopsisBy tracing the way in which the CJEU and national courts react to legislation and Treaty reform, and the way in which the Member States, Commission and other actors in the legislative process react to judicial interventions, this collection of essays explores the nature of the dynamic relationship between courts and legislatures within the EU. It is clear that the boundaries between the legal and political realms are contested and that the judiciary and the legislature are engaged in a struggle, not so much about the substantive contours of the internal market project, but rather about their relative institutional positions. The contributors consider all aspects of the internal market project, from goods to capital and citizenship, examining areas where there has been significant Treaty change as well as those in which the Treaty framework has remained substantially unaltered.Table of ContentsPart I: 1.

Cambridge University Press Foreign Affairs and the EU Constitution
Book SynopsisForeign affairs are ''border'' affairs - in a geographical and a constitutional sense. They are traditionally subject to distinct constitutional principles, for the political questions posed might not be susceptible to legal answers. And yet, in our globalized world, the orthodox distinction between ''internal'' and ''external'' affairs has lost much of its clarity. The contemporary world is an international world - a world of collective trade agreements and collective security systems. The European Union - as a union of States - embodies this collective spirit on a regional international scale. But what is the relationship between this new European legal order and the old legal order of international law? When can the Union act on the international scene and, if so, how? Foreign Affairs and the EU Constitution brings together a collection of outstanding essays on external relations written by one of the leading constitutional scholars of the European Union.Trade Review'Schutze's essay compilation gives a comprehensive overview over the constitutional framework of EU's foreign affairs and the underlying doctrinal problems. It goes beyond a mere illustration and contributes significantly to the academic debate. It is both suitable for a first approach to the European foreign affairs from a legal stand as well for a deeper involvement with this highly relevant subject matter. As a read, it is highly recommendable.' Paulina J. Starski, Yearbook of European Law'Robert Schütze's new book Foreign Affairs and the EU Constitution is an excellent collection of connected essays on fundamental questions related to the coming of age of the EU as a global actor. All twelve chapters are a testimony to the author's original thinking and provide a rather complete picture of the many issues the EU faces today. Schütze's choice to approach many of these issues from a 'federal' perspective helps us to understand the European Union's complex relation with both the world and its own members.' Ramses A. Wessel, University of Twente, Enschede, The Netherlands'In these essays, Robert Schütze explores the utility of federal thought for questions concerning the existence and operation of the EU, in particular in its external relations. In doing so, he sheds new light on old doctrinal questions, and does so in great style: these essays are lucid and provocative, well-informed both when it comes to EU law and international law, and simply a pleasure to read. This is a fine collection of essays by one of the leading EU law scholars of his generation.' Jan Klabbers, University of Helsinki'This book provides an impressive breadth and depth of analysis on fitting the square peg of foreign affairs within the round hole of constitutionalism. In doing so, it both raises interesting questions and provides much illumination on the extent to which the EU is still part of international law and yet can be regarded as a federal entity. It is also a work of comparative law, which constitutes a persuasive rebuttal of the position that the EU is too sui generis - especially with respect to foreign policy - to be susceptible to comparison with other federal entities. This erudite and thought-provoking study on fundamental issues confronting the EU will inspire anyone interested in the EU as an external actor in particular and as a unique constitutional entity in general.' Geert De Baere, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium'Robert Schutze's scholarly work addresses the fundamental issues of EU external relations law with insight and a seductive elegance that pleases even when he is challenging the reader's own cherished opinions.' Alan Dashwood, University of Cambridge'Robert Schütze's writing on EU law is always thoughtful and stimulating. I follow his work with interest and I am delighted to find in this book essays written over recent years on the constitutional law of EU foreign relations, together with some new material. The topics covered are central in current debate on the international role of the EU and the book will be a great resource for scholars and teachers of EU constitutional and external relations law.' Marise Cremona, European University Institute'… this collection of essays is recommended both to students of EU foreign relations law active in academia, and to those interested more generally in learning more about Professor Schütze's distinctive approach to the study of EU law … As no other, the author succeeds in systematising the disparate materials in this area, and in introducing 'broader constitutional lines' where at first sight one can only see disparate points on a chaotic canvas, to paraphrase the author. Arguably, this quality makes Professor Schütze one of the greatest pedagogues known in the field of EU law today.' Thomas Verellen, European Law ReviewTable of ContentsIntroduction; Part I. International Law and the EU Constitution - Normative Aspects: 1. On 'federal ground': the European Union as an (inter)national phenomenon; 2.

Cambridge University Press Handbook on Good Treaty Practice
Book SynopsisThis Handbook aims to provide practical guidance on good treaty practice. It presents a range of examples from the practice of several States and international organisations and explains the actions that need to be taken to create a new treaty, bring it into force, operate it, amend it and wind it up, on both the international and the domestic plane. It also explores what constitutes good treaty practice, and develops generic principles or criteria against which to evaluate these examples. It provides a useful analytical tool to enable each government and international organisation to identify and develop the best treaty practice for their circumstances, recognising that one size does not necessarily fit all. It will be of interest to those working with treaties and treaty procedures in governments, international organisations and legal practice, as well as legal academics and students wishing to gain insight into the realities of treaty practice.Trade Review'This Handbook is a collaborative effort by the authors to identify, through engagement with various stakeholders, the best practices in treaty-making. It is a comprehensive guide providing expertise on each stage of a treaty's lifespan including, reservation, ratification, amendments, etc. It condenses highly technical information into an accessible framework, making it an indispensable resource, not only for treaty experts, diplomats and administrators, but also lawyers, academics and students delving into the intricacies of treaty practice.' Gabrielle Marceau, Université de Genève and the World Trade Organization Senior Counsellor'This Handbook will be of great practical importance. It does not just assemble rules, practices and clauses in order to illustrate the life of international treaties. It delivers much more: it is a Manual on good treaty practice, designed to educate those in the front line of treaty work on how to handle everything they might come across in their job not only in a correct, but in an optimal way. The scope and depth of the Handbook are truly impressive without being intimidating; the language is clear and the many examples are well-chosen. The work lives up to the – Plato – standard it itself sets for treaty practice: professional, legal, assured, transparent, organised.' Bruno Simma, Former Member of the International Law Commission and of the International Court of Justice, Judge at the Iran-United States Claims Tribunal (The Hague)'This remarkable book provides a unique and insightful account of all aspects of treaty practice and as such will not only be essential reading for government officials whose work relates to treaties, but will also be of considerable interest to international law practitioners and academics.' Dan Sarooshi, Essex Court Chambers and University of Oxford'Treaty law is a very important component of international law. Diplomats, government legal advisers and legal practitioners are frequently engaged in the process of making, interpreting and implementing treaties. They will find this Handbook an indispensable guide to good treaty practice.' Tommy Koh, Ambassador-at-Large, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, SingaporeTable of Contents1.

Cambridge University Press Defying Convention
Book SynopsisThe Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) articulates what has now become a global norm. CEDAW establishes the moral, civic, and political equality of women; women''s right to be free from discrimination and violence; and the responsibility of governments to take positive action to achieve these goals. The United States is not among the 187 countries that have ratified the treaty. To explain why the United States has not ratified CEDAW, this book highlights the emergence of the treaty in the context of the Cold War, the deeply partisan nature of women''s rights issues in the United States, and basic disagreements about how human rights treaties work.Trade Review'Breaking with the conventions in political science that create stark distinctions between the study of domestic politics within nation-states and the study of international relations, Lisa Baldez takes a novel approach to the Convention to Eliminate All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW). Steeped in the literatures on international organizations, international law, US politics, and women and politics, Baldez demonstrates how the use of gender as an analytical category complicates what is thought to be known about the creation and ratification of international conventions, the status of women in the world over the past half century, and the central cleavages in national politics in both the United States and Chile. This book is thoroughly researched and clearly written, and it covers ground that has not been addressed previously. Baldez's approach is both thought-provoking and provocative.' Mary Hawkesworth, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey'This is a lively and important book on an understudied topic, which makes valuable theoretical insights in international relations while providing rich data on CEDAW as a case study of a human rights treaty. Using the puzzling case of US non-ratification of CEDAW, Lisa Baldez convincingly argues that by all rights, the United States should have ratified CEDAW, given that the costs of doing so would be low and the norms embodied in the treaty are rhetorically consistent with US political values. Using fascinating primary sources, Baldez's analysis of the domestic and international obstacles to ratification brings the insights of comparative politics and international relations together in an original way.' Valerie Sperling, Clark University'… Baldez offers a detailed historical account of the multi-faceted arguments regarding CEDAW's ratification, and sheds much needed light on the extent to which women's rights engage competing interests and conflicting agendas domestically and internationally. Finally, by tracing the sources of deep-seated opposition to CEDAW, and illustrating that the United States' failure to ratify results in compromised human rights protections for American women, Baldez illustrates just how necessary CEDAW is as a convention to enshrine women's rights as global norms.' Wendy O'Brien, Academic Council on the United Nations System (www.acuns.org)Table of Contents1. Introduction; 2. A scaffolding for women's rights, 1945–70; 3. Geopolitics and the drafting of CEDAW; 4. An evolving global norm of women's rights; 5. CEDAW impact: process, not policy; 6. Why the United States has not ratified CEDAW; 7.

Cambridge University Press The Future of Europe
Book SynopsisThe European Union is in crisis. Public unease with the project, Euro problems and dysfunctional institutions give rise to the real danger that the European Union will become increasing irrelevant just as its member states face more and more challenges of a globalised world. Jean-Claude Piris, a leading figure in the conception and drafting of the EU''s legal structures, tackles the issues head on with a sense of urgency and with candour. The book works through the options available in light of the economic and political climate, assessing their effectiveness. By so doing, the author reaches the (for some) radical conclusion that the solution is to permit ''two-speed'' development: allowing an inner core to move towards closer economic and political union, which will protect the Union as a whole. Compelling, critical and current, this book is essential reading for all those interested in the future of Europe.Trade Review'[The reader] will learn much along the way, gaining legal and historical perspective on different forms of co-operation between member states outside, inside and alongside the EU's own treaties … [Piris] is a great teacher. As the best professors do, he challenges and provokes and gets us arguing.' European Voice'Piris knows the issues from the inside. He deserves a serious hearing for his argument that the EU's institutions require a radical redesign.' Tony Barber, Financial Times'[A] remarkable contribution to the current debate on Europe's future … anyone seriously concerned about the future of the Union should read the compelling description and analysis this book puts forward.' Europe's World'[Piris's] argument is challenging, stimulating and controversial.' The Institute of International and European Affairs blog'Thought provoking and compelling.' LSE Review of Books'For a very long time, as director-general of the legal service at the Council of the Union's general secretariat, Jean-Claude Piris participated as a legal advisor in all inter-governmental conferences that have changed the profile of the European Union since the conference that gave birth to the Maastricht Treaty in 1992. It is therefore an institutional expert who, in this high tempo opuscule, attempts to identify the ways of redemption for a European Union that is decidedly off-colour.' European Library'We are indebted to Jean-Claude Piris for posing hard and important questions about the current European Union. His analysis has enriched our understanding of what a two-speed European Union means, how it might be attained and its distinctiveness from the multi-speed reality of the current European Union. He has energised debate and this review should be seen as part of the discourse.' Paul Craig, European Law ReviewTable of ContentsIntroduction; 1. The continuing need for a strong EU in the foreseeable future; 2. An assessment of the present situation of the EU; 3. First option: substantially revising the EU treaties; 4. Second option: continuing on the present path while developing further closer cooperation; 5. Third option: politically progressing towards a two-speed Europe; 6.

Cambridge University Press A Republican Europe of States
Book SynopsisBellamy deploys a novel republican account of the legitimacy of international organisations, to locate the EU's democratic deficiencies and their resolution at the national rather than the supranational level. This is for readers interested in global democracy, global justice, the statism-cosmopolitanism debate, EU politics, and republican theory.Trade Review'This is the best presentation and defence of the EU as an association of sovereign republican states by Europe's leading republican theorist.' James Tully, Professor Emeritus, University of Victoria'A superb rethinking of the European Union, which both reveals the deep and continuing appeal of the project, scattering the Brexit fog, and motivates an arresting but sensible set of proposals for institutional reform.' Philip Pettit, Princeton University and the Australian National University'Like the best work in EU studies, Richard Bellamy recognizes that insights only come from being both attentive to the Union's institutional detail and sensitive to its uniqueness. However, he alone shows that us that we can only make the most of this by exploring Europe's rich heritage in political thought. This book is the most ambitious example yet of his considerable contribution to the field.' Damian Chalmers, National University of Singapore'In this impressive tome, Richard Bellamy brilliantly demonstrates how the Republican imperatives of self-government and non-domination can be reconciled with the requirements of an interdependent age - in the EU and beyond. This is not an easy feat. Bellamy's elegant edifice - a free association of states - relies on sound theoretical pillars, namely 'republican intergovernmentalism' and 'cosmopolitan statism'. But the ultimate conclusion conforms to a profound intuition. It is possible for sovereign political communities to agree and uphold cosmopolitan norms to regulate their interactions as long as individual demoi give their on-going consent to such designs. In grounding this intuition, Bellamy provides a critical contribution to political theory in general and the demoicratic constellation in particular.' Kalypso Nicolaïdis, University of Oxford'Bellamy's defence of the European Union's legitimacy as depending on democratic reconnection with its Member States will provoke and may displease both euro-sceptics and euro-enthusiasts. Making both groups think again is important right now, as the EU faces some of its biggest ever challenges.' Jo Shaw, University of Edinburgh'In this beautifully argued book, Richard Bellamy sets out why 'in a globalising world democratic states have compelling … reasons to create institutions that resemble the EU in key respects'. For political theorists, this is essential reading on legitimacy, democracy and justice within and beyond the state. For scholars of the EU, this is essential reading on the democratic deficit, on parliaments and the EU, on EU citizenship, on differentiated integration and on the reform of the Eurozone. For everyone, this is a book with important implications for Brexit.' Christopher Lord, Universitetet i Oslo'Richard Bellamy offers a comprehensive and systematic analysis of the potential justifications and normative limits of European government beyond the democratic nation state. Rejecting cosmopolitan legitimacy concepts that ignore the rootedness of rights-based norms in political processes of an established polity, and defending the legitimacy of the heterogeneous achievements of democratic self-government in existing member states, the book is compelling in its critique of present excesses of European legal and monetary integration and of normatively unsustainable proposals for further centralization. Its own vision of a republican Europe of sovereign states that respect their cosmopolitan obligations appears normatively most attractive - but also quite demanding under present conditions of rising intergovernmental tensions.' Fritz Scharpf, Max-Planck-Institut für Gesellschaftsforschung, Germany'Richard Bellamy is a political theorist who truly understands the constitutional strand in Europe's ontology. This gives added purchase to his challenging attempt to 're-understand' and rethink how to frame the ever-illusive European reality.' J. H. H.

Cambridge University Press Poverty Narratives and Power Paradoxes in International Trade Negotiations and Beyond
Book SynopsisIn this work, Amrita Narlikar argues that, contrary to common assumption, modern-day politics displays a surprising paradox: poverty - and the powerlessness with which it is associated - has emerged as a political tool and a formidable weapon in international negotiation. The success of poverty narratives, however, means that their use has not been limited to the neediest. Focusing on behaviours and outcomes in a particularly polarising area of bargaining - international trade - and illustrating wider applications of the argument, Narlikar shows how these narratives have been effectively used. Yet, she also sheds light on how indiscriminate overuse and misuse increasingly run the risk of adverse consequences for the system at large, and devastating repercussions for the weakest members of society. Narlikar advances a theory of agency and empowerment by focusing on the life-cycles of narratives, and concludes by offering policy-relevant insights on how to construct winning and sustainabTrade Review'Amrita Narlikar is the most insightful scholar of political economy in international trade relations today, with a unique focus on the place of developing countries in them. This volume will become a classic that we will read with profit and pleasure for years to come.' Jagdish Bhagwati, Columbia University, New York, and author of In Defense of Globalization'Material interests matter but Amrita Narlikar shows with clarity and insight that economic narratives, the stories we tell, are just as important. This book is both an important methodological intervention with wide application and a significant contribution to understanding the role of poverty in shaping trade policy.' Martin Daunton, Emeritus Professor of Economic History, University of Cambridge'Amrita Narlikar explains how poor countries can turn apparent political disadvantages to their own benefit in international negotiations. With accessible prose and convincing empirical evidence, she demonstrates the importance of seizing systemic opportunities, shaping background narratives, and knowing just how far to push. Poverty Narratives and Power Paradoxes in International Trade Negotiations and Beyond is both an original scholarly analysis and an elegant primer for practitioners.' Louis W. Pauly, University of Toronto'Powerlessness is not all it seems. Amrita Narlikar offers a compelling new take on the uses and abuses of poverty and power in global politics.' Louise Fawcett, Head of the Department of Politics and International Relations, University of Oxford'This book challenges each of us. It surprises, defies, and provokes. In questioning our assumptions about power and powerlessness, it calls for a more lucid and creative posture towards who we are and who they are supposed to be.' Valerie Rosoux, FNRS, University of Louvain, author of Negotiating Reconciliation in Peacemaking'This is one of those books that will force casual observers of international trade politics to rethink their priors.' Daniel Drezner, The Washington Post'Ultimately, this is a book that uses the prism of the 'poverty/powerlessness' narratives to capture the many power shifts and struggles defining this moment in history, from the redistribution of power across states all the way to the gender, race and intergenerational challenges that have achieved an acute salience in our lifetime. It is remarkable that Narlikar has managed to elegantly connect such a wide span of topics within a relatively succinct book.'

Book SynopsisAs the Ottoman Empire crumbled, the Middle East and Balkans became the site of contestation and cooperation between the traditional forces of religion and the emergent machine of the sovereign state. Yet such strategic interaction rarely yielded a decisive victory for either the secular state or for religion. By tracing how state-builders engaged religious institutions, elites, and attachments, this book problematizes the divergent religion-state power configurations that have developed. There are two central arguments. First, states carved out more sovereign space in places like Greece and Turkey, where religious elites were integral to early centralizing reform processes. Second, region-wide structural constraints on the types of linkages that states were able to build with religion have generated long-term repercussions. Fatefully, both state policies that seek to facilitate equality through the recognition of religious difference and state policies that seek to eradicate such diffeTrade Review'Kristin Fabbe has written a highly engaging study of the historical relationship between religion and state-building in the Middle East and Balkans … Fabbe's study should appeal to historians and political and other social scientists interested in state-building, secularization, and nationalism.'

Cambridge University Press Poverty Narratives and Power Paradoxes in International Trade Negotiations and Beyond
Book SynopsisIn this work, Amrita Narlikar argues that, contrary to common assumption, modern-day politics displays a surprising paradox: poverty - and the powerlessness with which it is associated - has emerged as a political tool and a formidable weapon in international negotiation. The success of poverty narratives, however, means that their use has not been limited to the neediest. Focusing on behaviours and outcomes in a particularly polarising area of bargaining - international trade - and illustrating wider applications of the argument, Narlikar shows how these narratives have been effectively used. Yet, she also sheds light on how indiscriminate overuse and misuse increasingly run the risk of adverse consequences for the system at large, and devastating repercussions for the weakest members of society. Narlikar advances a theory of agency and empowerment by focusing on the life-cycles of narratives, and concludes by offering policy-relevant insights on how to construct winning and sustainabTrade Review'Amrita Narlikar is the most insightful scholar of political economy in international trade relations today, with a unique focus on the place of developing countries in them. This volume will become a classic that we will read with profit and pleasure for years to come.' Jagdish Bhagwati, Columbia University, New York, and author of In Defense of Globalization'Material interests matter but Amrita Narlikar shows with clarity and insight that economic narratives, the stories we tell, are just as important. This book is both an important methodological intervention with wide application and a significant contribution to understanding the role of poverty in shaping trade policy.' Martin Daunton, Emeritus Professor of Economic History, University of Cambridge'Amrita Narlikar explains how poor countries can turn apparent political disadvantages to their own benefit in international negotiations. With accessible prose and convincing empirical evidence, she demonstrates the importance of seizing systemic opportunities, shaping background narratives, and knowing just how far to push. Poverty Narratives and Power Paradoxes in International Trade Negotiations and Beyond is both an original scholarly analysis and an elegant primer for practitioners.' Louis W. Pauly, University of Toronto'Powerlessness is not all it seems. Amrita Narlikar offers a compelling new take on the uses and abuses of poverty and power in global politics.' Louise Fawcett, Head of the Department of Politics and International Relations, University of Oxford'This book challenges each of us. It surprises, defies, and provokes. In questioning our assumptions about power and powerlessness, it calls for a more lucid and creative posture towards who we are and who they are supposed to be.' Valerie Rosoux, FNRS, University of Louvain, author of Negotiating Reconciliation in Peacemaking'This is one of those books that will force casual observers of international trade politics to rethink their priors.' Daniel Drezner, The Washington Post'Ultimately, this is a book that uses the prism of the 'poverty/powerlessness' narratives to capture the many power shifts and struggles defining this moment in history, from the redistribution of power across states all the way to the gender, race and intergenerational challenges that have achieved an acute salience in our lifetime. It is remarkable that Narlikar has managed to elegantly connect such a wide span of topics within a relatively succinct book.'

Cambridge University Press Procurement by International Organizations
Book SynopsisHow do international organizations procure goods, services and works to carry out their institutional mission? How does this procurement activity affect individuals? Does the procurement relationship between international organizations and private subjects bring an even distribution of rights and duties? Are international organizations accountable to private subjects and states when allocating their resources through procurement? The book explores the complex phenomenon of procurement by international organizations from the point of view of the relationship between international organizations and private subjects. It provides, for the first time, a systematization and conceptualization of the emerging rules and practices of procurement by international organizations. It also identifies the international political dynamics and interplay of interests underlying these rules and practices.

Cambridge University Press Polycentricity in the European Union
Book SynopsisSupranational governance is being challenged by politicians and citizens around the EU as over-centralized and undemocratic. This book is premised on the idea that polycentric governance, developed by Vincent and Elinor Ostrom, is a fruitful place to start for addressing this challenge. Assessing the presence of, and potential for, polycentric governance within the EU means approaching established principles and practices from a new perspective. While the debate on these issues is rich, longstanding and interdisciplinary, it has proven difficult to sidestep the ''renationalisation/federalisation'' dichotomy. The aim of this volume is not to reject the EU''s institutional structure but provide a different benchmark for the assessment of its functioning. Polycentric theory highlights the importance of multilevel horizontal relationships within the EU - between states, but also between many sub-state actors, all the way down to individuals. This helps us answer the question: how do we achTable of ContentsIntroduction: the potential of a polycentric European Union Josephine van Zeben and Ana Bobić; 1.

Cambridge University Press The Shaping of EU Competition Law
Book SynopsisBased on a unique and comprehensive database, The Shaping of EU Competition Law combines qualitative and quantitative approaches to shed light on the evolution of EU competition law. It brings a new perspective to some of the most topical issues in the field including due process and the intensity of judicial review. The author''s main purpose is to examine how the institutional structure influences the substance of EU competition law provisions. He seeks to identify patterns in the behaviour of the European Commission and the EU Courts and how they interact with each other. In particular, his analysis considers how the European Commission reacts to the case law and whether, and in what instances, the EU courts defer to the analysis of the administrative authority. The analysis is supported by the database and an unprecedented array of statistics and figures free to view online.Trade Review'It is a very thoughtful and fruitful reading for those interested in theoretical studies on the doctrinal development of EU competition law. It will be of particular interest to those with advanced knowledge of EU competition case law.' Oles Andriychuk, Concurrences'In addition to being an important contribution to the understanding of EU competition law and its development, The Shaping of EU Competition Law is an excellent product of legal science.

Cambridge University Press Gender Equality and Public Policy
Book SynopsisDespite formal UN and European Commission commitments to improve gender imbalances, progress towards gender equality in wealth and pay has progressed at a discouragingly slow pace in recent decades. European countries have been more proactive in their support for corrective policies, such as family leave and gender quotas for corporate boards, yet measuring the effectiveness of these policies has proven difficult. This book offers a close comparative analysis of gender-targeted policies in Europe, providing an in-depth overview of how public policy is shaping gender equality, and how the presence of women in the economy and decision-making positions is itself shaping public policy. Paola Profeta bases her analysis on new data and an innovative interdisciplinary perspective for understanding the relationship between gender, equality and public policy, and their final impact on the European economy and society, with lessons that resonate beyond Europe.Trade Review'This ambitious project draws upon insights including from economics, public management, political science and gender theory to interrogate critical questions about gender equality in politics and the workplace. What is the impact of public policy in terms of promoting gender equality? What difference for public policy does it make if there are women leaders in politics and business? Paying particular attention to gender equality in Southern Europe, Paola Profeta argues that a greater understanding is needed of the relationship between public economics (policies) and political economy (policymakers and shapers) in order to analyse the slow and uneven progress of gender equality to date – and the ever present dangers of stalling and regression. This book will be of great interest to both feminist scholars and mainstream scholars concerned with the relationship between public policy and gender equality.' Fiona Mackay, University of Edinburgh'Decades after equality before the law between women and men had been reached in most European countries, gender inequities in areas such as education, the labor market, and caring for family members continue to persist. In this deeply researched and accessible book, Paola Profeta summarizes the state of gender equality in Europe today and explains the role that public policy can play in shaping gender differences. Drawing on a wide range of empirical evidence and state-of-the-art methods, Profeta's impressive study also draws a link between gender inequality and global challenges such as population aging, mass migration, and sustainability. A must-read not just for researchers and policymakers, but anyone who wants to learn more about the forces behind gender inequality today and the way forward to a more equal future.' Matthias Doepke, Northwestern University'Women have broken many glass ceilings (or glass cages) in recent decades. But not all and certainly not universally. Along with democratic spontaneous movements, effective political action is still required, both in terms of reaffirmation of human rights and in terms of measures to realize a true level playing field in which women can prove their competences and inspire positive social change. This book by Paola Profeta represents a valuable addition to the literature on the relationships between public policies and real gender equality. Worth to be read and studied by all those who care about a more balanced society.' Elsa Fornero, University of Turin'This excellent book offers a novel perspective on the study of gender and public policy with an approach developed at the intersection of public economics and political economics. The focus is on Europe, which is certainly an interesting laboratory of analysis with studying and comparing policies to promote gender equality. This book is extremely useful for graduate students and professionals but readable also by policy makers.' Daniela Del Boca, University of Turin and Collegio Carlo Alberto'With an economist's eye, Paola Profeta deftly analyzes the reciprocal effects of gender equality and public policies in contemporary Europe. From taxation to maternity leave to childcare provision, Profeta shows how states' policy choices profoundly shape economic gender gaps. This book makes the case for why gender inequality matters not only for women and their families but for sustainable growth in the 21st century.'

Cambridge University Press Institutional Constructivism in Social Sciences and Law
Book SynopsisThis book proposes a new institutional constructivist model, for social scientific and legal enquiries, based on the interrelations within the social and political world and the application of change in EU laws and politics. Much of the research conducted in social sciences and law examines the diverse activities of individuals and collectivities and the role of institutions in the social and political world. Although there exist many vantage points from which one can gain entry into understanding how agents in the world act, interact, shape and bear the world, socio-legal scientific epistemology has found monism and dualism to be convincing models. This book argues that current models do not capture the complexity of our micro-worlds, macro-worlds and meso-worlds. Nor can they account for the forms and patterns of socio-legal change. Mind, time and change are brought together in an attempt to contribute to socio-legal epistemology and to enhance its toolkit.Trade Review'This book proposes an institutional constructivist model for social scientific and legal inquiries, based on the interrelations within the social and political world and the application of change in EU laws and politics.'

Cambridge University Press Intervention in Libya
Book SynopsisThe 2011 crisis in Libya represents the first case in which the international community invoked ''the Responsibility to Protect'' principle, adopted in 2005 by UN member states, to justify coercive measures including sanctions and the use of military force. In this study, Karin Wester meticulously reconstructs and analyzes the evolution of the Libyan crisis, the international community''s response, and the manner in which the ''Responsibility to Protect'' was applied. Drawing on a wide variety of primary sources including in-depth interviews with politicians and diplomats, this comprehensive account of the 2011 intervention in Libya redresses popular narratives asserting that the intervention was driven primarily by western (neo-colonial) interests or by a desire for regime change. Instead, Wester reveals how the ''Responsibility to Protect'' principle was realized to a considerable extent, but also how it provided a highly fragile basis for military enforcement action. Incorporating pTrade Review'A brilliant, vivid, and analytically lucid account of the inspiration and constraints governing the international community's commitment to the protection of human life over the inviolability of state sovereignty. Wester's agile command of the Libyan case makes clear the extraordinary conditions that enabled R2P intervention, the unresolved contradictions inherent to the doctrine, and the failures of the international security architecture that are likely to make future R2P initiatives rare. A mandatory read for students of ethical conduct in international relations.'

Cambridge University Press A Loud But Noisy Signal
Book SynopsisThis path-breaking addition to the Comparative Politics of Education series studies the influence of public opinion on the contemporary politics of education reform in Western Europe. The authors analyze new data from a survey of public opinion on education policy across eight countries, and they also provide detailed case studies of reform processes based on interviews with policy-makers and stakeholders. The book''s core finding is that public opinion has the greatest influence in a world of ''loud'' politics, when salience is high and attitudes are coherent. In contrast, when issues are salient but attitudes are conflicting, the signal of public opinion turns ''loud, but noisy'' and party politics have a stronger influence on policy-making. In the case of ''quiet'' politics, when issue salience is low, interest groups are dominant. This book is required reading for anyone seeking to make sense of policy-makers'' selective responsiveness to public demands and concerns.Table of Contents1.

Cambridge University Press Ideological Representation Achieved and Astray
Book SynopsisIdeological congruence is the term generally used in comparative politics for the representative relationship between the general preferences of citizens and the perceived and stated position of government. This study provides a systematic comparative assessment of success and failure in achieving ideological congruence in nineteen developed parliamentary democracies from 1996 through to 2017. It then deconstructs the processes through which elections can connect citizens and governments into the three major stages: citizens'' votes in parliamentary elections; the conversion of those votes into legislative representation; the election of prime ministers by their parliaments and the appointment of cabinet ministers. Analyzing these three stages shows that average distance from the median citizen increases at each stage, with only a few remarkable recoveries once congruence begins to go astray.Table of Contents1.

Cambridge University Press The Legal Framework of the OSCE
Book SynopsisThe Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), the world''s largest regional security organisation, possesses most of the attributes traditionally ascribed to an international organisation, but lacks a constitutive treaty and an established international legal personality. Moreover, OSCE decisions are considered mere political commitments and thus not legally binding. As such, it seems to correspond to the general zeitgeist, in which new, less formal actors and forms of international cooperation gain prominence, while traditional actors and instruments of international law are in stagnation. However, an increasing number of voices - including the OSCE participating states - have been advocating for more formal and autonomous OSCE institutional structures, for international legal personality, or even for the adoption of a constitutive treaty.

Cambridge University Press Quagmire in Civil War
Book SynopsisOur understanding of civil war is shot through with the spectre of quagmire, a situation that traps belligerents, compounding and entrenching war''s dangers. Despite the subject''s importance, its causes are obscure. A pervasive ''folk'' notion that quagmire is intrinsic to certain countries or wars has foreclosed inquiry, and scholarship has failed to identify quagmire as an object of study in its own right. Schulhofer-Wohl provides the first treatment of quagmire in civil war. In a rigorous but accessible analysis, he explains how quagmire can emerge from domestic-international interactions and strategic choices. To support the argument, Schulhofer-Wohl draws upon field research on Lebanon''s sixteen-year civil war, structured comparisons with civil wars in Chad and Yemen, and rigorous statistical analyses of all civil wars worldwide fought between 1944 and 2006. The results make clear that the ''folk'' notion misdiagnoses quagmire and demand that we revisit policies that rest upon it. Schulhofer-Wohl demonstrates that quagmire is made, not found.Trade Review'This brilliant and erudite book, the outcome of assiduous and painstaking research, pulls together the premises underlying the heuristic metaphor of Quagmire. It is a master stroke. Destined, in my view, to become a landmark, a tour de force, even a classic for the analysis of civil wars in their diverse origins and manifestations. Like other classics, Professor Schulhofer-Wohl offers an enlightened theoretical paradigm, grounded empirical fieldwork, sustained by compelling prose. Equally appealing, he adopts a multilayered approach that draws on both internationally and domestically-centered perspectives to analyze the strategic interactions between foreign states and internal warring parties. In short, to understand how belligerents become entrapped in civil wars.' Samir Khalaf, Emeritus Professor of Sociology, American University of Beirut'It is sometimes said that powers 'find' themselves bogged down in quagmires. In this lucidly written work, Jonah Schulhofer-Wohl argues that 'quagmires are made, not found.' Schulhofer-Wohl shows just how foreign backers and belligerents make quagmires through the interaction of their strategic choices. Quagmire in Civil War is not only a significant contribution to our understanding of why some civil wars become prolonged, but also an important work adding to our comprehension of the preferences and interlocking strategic choices of external and domestic actors in civil war in general.' Roger Petersen, Arthur and Ruth Sloan Professor of Political Science, Massachusetts Institute of Technology'Professor Schulhofer-Wohl penetrates deeply into the question of why some - but not all - civil wars entrap governments, rebels, and foreign backers. Quagmire's analysis sheds light on Syria's civil war after 2011. It explains why both pro-government and rebel forces often fell back to non-territorial warfare between 2014 and 2016 and why the balance shifted in favor of Asad when Russia especially escalated to back the Syrian government's move for costly territorial control and rebel backers declined to match the escalation. Aspiring policymakers need to go beyond simplistic descriptions of the evolution of civil wars to consider Schulhofer-Wohl's analysis about how decisions by different actors can together produce outcomes not originally foreseen or intended by any side in a civil war.' Robert S. Ford, US Ambassador to Syria, 2011–2014'In this magisterial book, Schulhofer-Wohl takes on a big question: Why do some civil wars become 'quagmires' while others do not? His innovative answer points to the strategic structure of a conflict and associated decision-making problems for the warring parties and their potential foreign backers. Moving research on civil wars in new directions, he brings conceptual rigor to the notion of a civil war quagmire and highlights key mechanisms leading to their emergence. His rigorous empirical approach, which combines hypotheses derived from a formal model, original fieldwork in Lebanon, cross-national statistical tests, and comparative historical research on Chad and Yemen, inspires confidence in his arguments.' Melani Cammett, Clarence Dillon Professor of International Affairs, Harvard University'While many scholars have viewed the Lebanese Civil War as a key case study in comparative research on armed conflict, it was never quite written. Jonah Schulhofer-Wohl has finally done that job, and no one could have done it better. Quagmire in Civil War at once provides theoretical sophistication, in-depth empirical analysis, and policy relevance. It is one of the best studies on Lebanon and the Middle East I have seen in a very long time; a strong rebuke to anyone still claiming that Middle East studies fails to contribute to political science and the comparative study of war and peace.' Reinoud Leenders, Reader at the Department of War Studies, King's College London, and author of Spoils of Truce: Corruption and State-Building in Postwar Lebanon'How do warring parties get trapped in interminable civil wars, unable either to win or withdraw? In this important new book, Jonah Schulhofer-Wohl explains why quagmire is the tragic consequence of particular strategic interactions between contending factions and their foreign backers, and not the result of domestic constraints, strategic myopia, or other decision-making pathologies. Theoretically rigorous and empirically rich, Quagmire in Civil War is an exemplary work of policy-relevant social science.' Stephen M. Walt, Robert and Renée Belfer Professor of International Affairs, John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University'Quagmire in Civil War offers not only a fascinating read on a highly relevant topic, but provides a model for how statistics, game theory, history, and political science can present a challenging topic.' Jerry Lenaburg, New York Journal of Books'Quagmire in Civil War is a masterpiece of conflict studies, combining a variety of research methods to explain a confusing phenomenon which tends to compound war's dangers and bog down superpowers in foreign theaters.' Giuseppe Spatafora, Journal of Peace Research'This is an excellent and important academic book that will interest Middle East scholars, political scientists, and political economists.' Laia Balcells, The Middle East Journal'… the book provides a rigorous understanding of the mechanisms of foreign-domestic entanglement in civil wars. The quantitative comparative analysis of 140 civil wars that follows the in-depth study of the Lebanese case convincingly points to the wide applicability of the theory. From this perspective, the book is a vital reference for scholars of civil wars and internationalisation of local conflicts, setting the stage for a new research agenda for the study of quagmire, its causes, duration, effects and implications for local belligerents, foreign powers and most crucially the civilian populations that are always at the receiving end of the nightmares of quagmires.'

Cambridge University Press Oracles Heroes or Villains
Book SynopsisUsing recent economic crises in the United States, Europe and Argentina to examine the interactions of power, politics and markets, Shambaugh analyses how political uncertainty affects market risks and identifies the conditions under which economic technocrats can compensate for political turmoil and manage market behaviour.Trade Review'In this fascinating tour de force taking us from Argentina to the United States and to Europe, George Schambaugh describes and analyses with the dexterity of a spy thriller novelist the 'behind the scenes' of the 'dangerous liasions' linking officials and technocrats with senior politicians in the shaping of economic policies in times of domestic and international crises. Those technocrats are actually oracles, heroes, and villains in the domestic and international scene that shapes the international political economy of the last thirty years.' Arie M. Kacowicz, Hebrew University of Jerusalem'Technocrats in national central banks and treasury departments often play key roles as economic policy makers in economic crises. We hear a great deal about them when they have major effects on policy, but not when they don't. But when will they be effective? In Oracles, Heroes, or Villains Prof. Shambaugh creates what he calls a risk intervention curve that helps to answer this question. He argues that effective technocrats are far more political than their reputation suggests, and that their ability to manage risk depends on a combination of this political effectiveness and economic conditions.

Cambridge University Press Ideological Representation Achieved and Astray
Book SynopsisIdeological congruence is the term generally used in comparative politics for the representative relationship between the general preferences of citizens and the perceived and stated position of government. This study provides a systematic comparative assessment of success and failure in achieving ideological congruence in nineteen developed parliamentary democracies from 1996 through to 2017. It then deconstructs the processes through which elections can connect citizens and governments into the three major stages: citizens'' votes in parliamentary elections; the conversion of those votes into legislative representation; the election of prime ministers by their parliaments and the appointment of cabinet ministers. Analyzing these three stages shows that average distance from the median citizen increases at each stage, with only a few remarkable recoveries once congruence begins to go astray.Table of Contents1. Elections and ideological congruence in parliamentary democracies; 2. The (rocky) paths to government congruence: three stages; 3. Party systems as contexts; 4.

Book SynopsisHow does international law impact the behavior of states? This book designed for students in multiple disciplines offers a comprehensive, accessible introduction to the ''law of nations,'' detailing the evolution of state practice in response to an ever-changing, diverse world. In this new edition of William Slomanson''s foundational text, the new authors, Professors Slagter and Van Doorn, trace how states manage their sovereignty in myriad ways, working through treaties, international organizations, and international courts to secure their own as well as global interests. With special emphasis on five key areas-human rights, the use of force, human security and humanitarian intervention, environmental protection, and economic relations-the authors illustrate both the power and limits of international law to provide structure and predictability on a globalized planet. Real-world problem sets, annotated bibliographies, and a practical guide to studying international law make this a text that students and instructors alike will appreciate.Trade Review'The authors have produced a superb book on the fundamental topics, issue areas, and perspectives on international law, appropriate for both undergraduate and graduate students.

Cambridge University Press An Introduction to International Organizations Law
Book SynopsisThe fourth edition of this market-leading textbook offers students a clear framework for understanding the practice and logic of International Organizations Law. It is structured around the three defining relationships IOs engage in â namely, with their member states, with their organs and staff, and with the outside world. These different dynamics give rise to different concerns, which each help to explain the logic behind international institutional law. The text also discusses the essential topics of the law of IOs, including powers and finances, privileges and immunities, institutional structures, and accountability. By demonstrating how the theory works in practice, with recent examples, students will observe the impact and significance of International Organizations Law. Updated with the latest case law and literature, this new edition also contains discussions of the withdrawal of Israel and the US from UNESCO, Brexit, and the Covid-19 pandemic, and how these affect the law of iTrade Review'Among the available textbooks on international organizations law, this book continues to stand out as the most conceptual one. Legal questions on the functioning of international organizations are answered in the context of a comparison of institutional rules. This approach is crucial to a better understanding of the nature of international organizations and their increasing importance in global rule-making.' Professor Ramses A. Wessel, University of Groningen'There is no better interpreter of the legal world of international organizations than Jan Klabbers. This new edition brings his classic text up to the minute while maintaining its sweeping overview of IOs in global history. It shows how Brexit, Covid, and other recent developments are entangled with the timeless questions about the authority, practice, and limits of international institutions. He navigates neatly among the nuance of legal theory, the apparent solidity of black-letter law, and the fluidity of practice. Even the footnotes are interesting. This is an essential book for scholars and students of international law and politics.' Professor Ian Hurd, Northwestern University'A very welcome update of a classic textbook. Students of the law of international organizations will find a clear exposition and analysis of all key areas. Moreover, the tension between organizational autonomy and state sovereignty provides a powerful narrative which, when combined with the author's engaging style, makes the book much more than a teaching text.' Professor Nigel D. White, University of Nottingham'The book brings together a wealth of illuminating illustrations drawn directly from the real world. The selection of these case studies is motivated not just by how helpful they are in clarifying the rules, but also by how well they show the rules' societal significance, and by their “entertainment” value – i.e. their potential first to captivate and then to keep the reader's interest in the materials.'

Cambridge University Press Secession from a Member State and Withdrawal from the European Union
Book SynopsisThis is the first book to jointly scrutinise two existential issues for the EU: withdrawal of a member state (i.e. Brexit) and territorial secession (affecting Scotland, Catalonia and beyond). The book applies normative and empirical analyses, explores new approaches and discusses the deep theoretical problems unleashed by these processes. Featuring a superb constellation of legal and political science scholars, the book combines specific legal analysis and considers the political dynamics behind the processes. It provides extensive coverage and sophisticated analysis of the interpretation of Article 50 and the possible consequences it may have. The implications of withdrawal and secession on EU citizenship are discussed in depth and there is an overview of the evolving nature of the relationship between the regions and the EU. Finally, there is an engaging normative discussion on the deeper meaning of these two processes with respect to the objective of European integration.Table of Contents1. Introduction.

Book SynopsisBritain''s Brexit voters are right. They have been shamefully neglected. But the answer is to change Britain, not to leave Europe. This book sets out how we can radically improve the lives of people and communities shut out from prosperity.The EU, despite its frailties and strains, is a success story.The advantages of leaving are illusory: no gains in trade from deals with protectionist China and the United States can compensate for what is being lost in Europe. Britain is weakening a pillar of the world''s diplomatic and trade order at the same time as weakening itself - an act of self-harm, especially when so many countries are retreating from democracy, free trade and progressive values.In Saving Britain Will Hutton and Andrew Adonis set out a bold plan to transform Britain and fight for Europe as a force for good at home and abroad.Trade ReviewErudite, compelling and gravely urgent, this is a book of considerable political importance * Times Literary Supplement *A book which engages with the big issues of our time.

Governmental investments and financial decision-making to regulate the effective demand in national economies is based on the basic principles introduced by John Maynard Keynes in his General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money (1936), The solution of the temporary crisis of the democratic capitalism might be linked to Keynes by his successors the neo-Keynesians. However, the representative democracy has become weak and fragmented, and under control of international powerful multinationals. The citizens not any longer look upon their national government as their representatives but as representatives for interest of foreign states and international organisations. Poor public politics and policies are what come out of it. The first chapter examines the European Union''s capitalism in crisis. The second chapter of this book presents the weakness of the EU lying in its own foundation principals; its developments and its incapacity for transforming from a successful internal peace system into a reliable world power. The third chapter analyses the case-law of the EU on measures to fight online piracy so as to shed light on whether the Court of Justice of the European Union struck a fair balance between intellectual property and human rights. Also, the case-law of the European Court of Human Rights is examined. The last chapter analyses Spains internal conflict over the breakaway intentions of a part of Catalonian society, going through different influential aspects such as history, ethnicity, language and culture; economy, the structure of the Spanish central government, the role of European Union and several other milestones in the main claims of the supporters of the independence for Catalonia.

Nova Science Publishers Inc The United States of Europe: The Global Player
Book SynopsisEurope is currently caught in a malfunction triangle between national politics, European policies, and global markets. Moreover, the democratic politics of the EU have remained national. Moreover, a single currency has been established without establishing a set of institutions to facilitate any regions of Europe to operate efficiently. The European area has been going through a lengthened period of weak economic activity and very low inflation, and there is a need to strengthen its Economic and Monetary Union, based on political stability, so as to upsurge its resilience to economic shocks. To that extent, uncertainty and political fragmentation have been amplified significantly in the aftermath of financial crises, which have been economically destructive, making crisis resolution more problematic. The crisis across Europe has led to a failure in confidence in European institutions, leading to political fragmentation of positions among Member States, and stirring up nationalistic instincts. This has impeded decision-making, averting the formation of a common growth strategy. Nevertheless, it is essential to move towards the establishment of the United States of Europe in order to avoid the collapse and disintegration of the EU.Table of ContentsFor more information, please visit our website at:https://novapublishers.com/shop/the-united-states-of-europe-the-global-player/

Nova Science Publishers Inc The Bulgarians: A Forged Mélange
Book SynopsisThe purpose of this series is to find the true level of national identity within the European Union, probing whether a given state nationality will prevail, whether that nationality is sufficiently stable, and, if not, whether a consolidation process, forming a single pan-European nationality, exists and can replace the state nationality system. This series clarifies the role that each European group might play within the EU, if at all. This series about five European groups in the eastern and northern regions of Europe -- the Dutch, the Poles, the Hungarians, the Bulgarians, and the Swedish -- provides the reader with a fresh outlook on each of these groups. Consequently, it may shed light on the European Union and its future political and sociological prospects as it deals with typical behavioural patterns within each group, how those patterns have been created, and in what way and to what extent history has shaped that group to be unique. Each of these groups experienced foundational events that have affected its members' motives -- motives that may influence the future of the European Union. This series ties those groups' specific histories with the overall course of European history. It specifies which motives the members of the various groups have engendered in the course of their histories and explains how those motives can be expected to affect the future of the European Union. One of the arguments put forward by this series is that the two "World Wars" were, in reality, one European civil war, albeit in conjunction with relatively marginal events outside of Europe. Thus, like other civil wars, it served as an economic catalyst for Europe and helped to shape a new pan-European national identity.Table of ContentsPrefaceAcknowledgmentsIntroductionAncient Times until the Unification of the Bulgarians and the SlavsFrom the BulgarianSlavic Unity to the Acceptance of Christianity by the Bulgarian-SlavsFrom the Acceptance of Christianity to the Presence of a Bulgarian Church in the Slavic LanguageFrom the Uniqueness of the Bulgarian Ecclesiastical Until the Loss of the First Bulgarian EmpireThe Age of Byzantine Rule and the Second Bulgarian EmpireThe Bulgarians Under Turkish RulePolitical Independence as a Way to Achieve Independence for the Bulgarian ChurchBulgarian Independence Before the Balkan War in 1912Between Two Wars, 1919-1941Bulgaria and World War II, 1941-1944The Communist Regime, 1944-1989The Post-Communist Era, 1989-2005 in the Face of the FutureSummaryReferencesAbout the AuthorIndex.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Nato & Eastern Europe After 2000: Strategic
Book SynopsisNATO is acutely aware of its increased status as a force for stability in a drastically altered Atlantic community. The number of its initiatives is on the increase just as a new political, economic and military Europe emerges. The Cold War''s end has wrought as many changes as there are continuities in the security environment. Eastern and Central European states, especially NATO and PfP members, enjoy an increasing importance to NATO, both as trading partners and as new participants in the civil society. While the literature on relations between NATO and the East Europeans is rather limited, the study of the overall posture of those states in the international system is almost non-existent, so that the consequences of their posture for NATO''s renewed concept are unknown. The study of these countries'' security posture and strategic interactions with Central European states in general promotes the renewed role of NATO. This book shows that each of the long-term relations with Poland, the Czech Republic, Romania and Bulgaria is subordinated to the goal of entering the European Union, and that their different values will makes relations difficult. This will test NATO''s new strategic concept to the limit. It also shows the importance of strategic thinking.

Nova Science Publishers Inc How Do Small States Affect the Future Development
Book SynopsisThe beginning of the twenty-first century will witness an unprecedented expansion of the European Union, with ten new members joining in 2004 and more seeking to follow. Compared to past expansions, the current and forthcoming enlargements possess a number of characteristics. Of these, it is noticeable that a majority of new member countries are small. In addition, the economic, political and historical backgrounds of new small member states are very different from those of the current EU membership. In this context, there is a conventional wisdom that the accession of a large number of new small member states has the potential to create challenges to the future development of the enlarged EU. These challenges will be manifested in the decision-making process of the EU, the implementation of a wide range of its policies, and the governance of its institutions. However, this book will attempt to argue that this conventional view may not necessarily be the case.
