Taylor & Francis Ltd Environmental Leaders and Laggards in Europe Why
Book SynopsisNo other European laws are so frequently violated as environmental directives. This informative and illuminating volume explains why member states have repeatedly failed to comply with European Environmental Law. It challenges the assumption that non-compliance is merely a southern problem. By critically comparing and analyzing Spain and Germany, the volume demonstrates that both northern leaders and southern laggards face compliance problems if a European policy is not compatible with domestic regulatory structures. The North-South divide is therefore much more complex than previously thought. Examining each country's capabilities of shaping European policies according to its environmental concerns and economic interests, the book debates the possible outcomes if the European Union does not come to terms with the leader-laggards dynamics in environmental policy-making. It will be a prime resource for anyone concerned with environmental policy-making and law, particularly within Trade Review’This book is a must for all interested in the implementation of European legislation. In linking systematic theoretical deductive reasoning with empirical richness, Tanja A. Börzel comes up with brilliant and surprising insights.’ Adrienne Héritier, European University Institute, Italy '"Environmental leaders and laggards" is an important contribution to our analytical understanding of differential compliance across the European Union as well as our knowledge of environmental protection in Germany and Spain. Borzel's in-depth research challenges long-held views about the "North-South" divide in environmental policy and in doing so identifies common "European" dynamics which help clarify the contemporary state of environmental protection in the European Union.' Professor Alberta M. Sbragia, UCIS Research Professor of Political Science and Director of the European Union Center and the Center for West European Studies , University of Pittsburgh, USA 'The book is highly recommended to scholars of environmental politics and EU governance. They will find original comparative data on member-state compliance performance and a wealth of empirical material related to the implementation of EU environmental laws in two of the EU's biggest member states.' Environment and Planning C: Government and Policy 'The author gives a general picture of the Environmental Laws and compliance problems across the European Union as well as making a valuable contribution to the ongoing debate in the field of EU environmental policy by comparing Germany and Spain.' The European Legacy '...supported by a rigorous, detailed and well-researched comparative case study...the research...presents a rich and complex picture of the two countries...the book is undoubtedly of value because it attempts to offer an alternative explanation for an important political problem...In doing so, it presents rich and detailed empirical material based on interviews and field research.'

Taylor & Francis Ltd NATO and the European Union New World New Europe
Book SynopsisThe perspectives of academics and practitioners are brought together in this insightful work, which examines the war on terrorism, the Iraq war and the roles of NATO and the EU. The book analyzes the new threats posed by terrorist strikes and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction despite the total failure of Cold War conceptions of deterrence. It also delineates the key issues and problems that have arisen from the NATO and EU double enlargement and from the new NATO-Russian relationship. Casting light on the global and regional ramifications of the crisis, as well as the tensions in the transatlantic relationship caused by the war with Iraq, NATO and the European Union addresses the key policy questions that concern the maintenance of global peace and security.Trade Review’Written in the interval between 9/11 and the invasion of Iraq, the book offers a rich variety of insights into the evolving nature of the new international system - one where "state terror" contends with "anti-state terror, but with no clear end in sight"...The book is notable for including a broad presentation of European and Russian views. It is a useful study for anyone trying to gain a longer-term perspective on today's swirling events.’ Professor David P.

Taylor & Francis Ltd New Perspectives on Global Governance Why America
Book SynopsisOn its 30th anniversary in 2004 responsibility for hosting the G8 Summit fell into the hands of an allegedly unilateralist America. An America still reeling from the shock of the September 11th terrorist attacks, the resulting economic recession, bitter divisions with its NATO allies and disappointment with the United Nations Institutions over the 2003 Iraq war. So why does America still need the G8? New Perspectives on Global Governance offers new insight into the role of the Group of Eight''s major market democracies and challenges the assumption that the G8 is simply a forum for binding a unilateralist hegemonic America. In contrast to seeing the G8 as a means of imposing an American world order this unique collection of new writings suggests that a now vulnerable America must rely on the G8 as a central instrument of foreign policy. America needs the G8 to achieve its security, economic and political interests in the world and to shape the twenty-first central global order itTable of ContentsContents: Preface; Introduction, Michele Fratianni, John J.
