Free Download Michelle Pace, Peter Seeberg, "The European Union's Democratization Agenda in the Mediterranean" English | 2009 | ISBN: 0415551684, 0415847516 | EPUB | pages: 228 | 0.5 mb Democracy promotion in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) remains a central pillar of the foreign policy the European Union (EU). Rather than concentrating on the relations between the incumbent authoritarian regimes and the opposition in the relevant countries, and on the degree to which these relations are affected by EU efforts at promoting democracy, human rights and the rule of law (an outside-in approach), this collection of articles inverts the focus of such relationships and attempts to look at them 'inside-out'. While some contributions also emphasise the 'outside-in' axis, given that this continues to be analytically rewarding, the overarching thrust of this book is to provide some empirical substance for the claim that EU policy making is not unidirectional and is influenced by the perceptions and actions of its 'targets'. Thus, the focus is on domestic political changes on the ground in the MENA and how they link into what the EU is attempting to achieve in the region. Finally, the self-representation of the EU and its (lack of a) clear regional role is discussed.  Free Download Cristina Chiva, David Phinnemore, "The European Union's 2007 Enlargement" English | 2011 | ISBN: 0415689651 | EPUB | pages: 132 | 0.7 mb This book fills a significant gap in recent literature on European Union politics by examining the EU's 'other' eastern enlargement, completed in 2007 with the accession of Bulgaria and Romania. It focuses on both the process and the effects of the 2007 enlargement within the wider context of the post-communist countries' accession to the EU, and, more broadly, within the context of the history of EU enlargement. The book brings together in-depth analyses of a wide range of issues, both from a comparative perspective and through single case studies. Individual contributions shed new light onto EU enlargement through a theoretical re-evaluation of the 'strategic action' paradigm, as well as through historical analyses of the 2007 enlargement and of its implications for future EU enlargements. Further insight into the process of EU enlargement is gained through systematic exploration of the impact of accession on policy-making and institutional structures in Bulgaria and Romania. Altogether, the contributions exemplify the multi-faceted nature of EU enlargement and accession, as well as the extent to which the process of acceding to the EU is not completed with membership, either for the EU or for the candidate countries.  Free Download Steve Marsh, "The European Union in the Security of Europe: From Cold War to Terror War" English | 2011 | ISBN: 041534123X | EPUB | pages: 260 | 0.6 mb This book examines the European Union's contribution to providing security in Europe amidst an increasingly complex and challenging environment.  Free Download Maurizio Carbone, "The European Union in Africa: Incoherent policies, asymmetrical partnership, declining relevance?" English | 2016 | ISBN: 1784993875 | EPUB | pages: 320 | 0.6 mb The European Union in Africa: Incoherent policies, asymmetrical partnership, declining relevance? provides a comprehensive analysis of EU-Africa relations since the beginning of the twenty-first century and includes contributions from leading experts in the field of EU external relations. It seeks to explain how the relationship evolved through discussion of a number of different policies and agreements, ranging from established areas such as aid, agriculture, trade and security, to new areas such as migration, climate change, energy and social policies.  Free Download Oya Dursun-Ozkanca, "The European Union as an Actor in Security Sector Reform: Current Practices and Challenges of Implementation" English | 2013 | ISBN: 0415717760 | EPUB | pages: 192 | 0.6 mb This book critically analyzes the European Union's role in Security Sector Reform (SSR), a topical issue with regards to European security. While the literature on SSR has increased significantly in the past decade, too little remain in the way of comparative analyses of SSR case studies that are geared toward theory development. This collection strives to push the SSR literature in that direction. One key question it focuses on is whether the EU pursues a holistic approach vis-à-vis SSR. Another question the book addresses is why and how the EU activities towards SSR in conflict management, peacebuilding and statebuilding have produced a wide variety of outcomes that range from the failure to reform any or all of the sub-set of security sectors (police, justice, military, etc.) to complete and integrated reform.  Free Download Alasdair Young, "The European Union as a Global Regulator?" English | 2015 | ISBN: 1138951382 | EPUB | pages: 138 | 0.8 mb The European Union is often depicted as a dominant global regulator. The purpose of this volume is to move beyond establishing that the EU influences global regulation to being to identify under what conditions it exerts that influence. Toward that end, it focuses on the EU's active efforts, both bilateral and multilateral, to shape regulations beyond its borders. The empirical chapters in this volume are explicitly comparative, among foreign partners, across international contexts, over time, and across issues. The more conceptual contributions posit an explanation for the EU's choice of regulatory cooperation strategy and take stock of Market Power Europe as a dynamic conceptual framework for understanding and researching the EU as a power. Collectively, this volume advances three arguments: the utility of the EU's regulatory power resources is context specific; debates about what kind of power the EU is, at least as currently conceived, are unproductive; and that the EU's engagement in the world is better explained through general theories of international political economy.  Free Download Tommi Koivula, "The European Union and the Use of Military Force: Uncovering the Myths" English | 2016 | ISBN: 1032097876, 1472468058 | EPUB | pages: 158 | 0.3 mb Koivula examines the discursive space related to the use of military force by the European Union (EU). By examining the EU's relationship to its use of military force during the course of its history and by demonstrating that the contemporary discursive space of the EU military dimension is incoherent in nature and contains inherent contradictions, he seeks to answer the related question of whether extreme forms of military enforcement, for example killing, is appropriate for the EU.  Free Download JOHN PETERSON, Alasdair Young, "The European Union and the New Trade Politics" English | 2007 | ISBN: 0415394910, 1138993611 | EPUB | pages: 178 | 0.3 mb The politics of international trade have changed dramatically over the past 20 years. Advances in technology have spurred a new kind of 'trade' involving transfers of components and materials across borders but within firms. Trade in services, foreign direct investment and sales by affiliates of foreign-owed companies have grown more rapidly than trade in goods, making national rules and regulations more significant barriers to trade.  Free Download Annabelle Littoz-Monnet, "The European Union and Culture: Between Economic Regulation and European Cultural Policy" English | 2007 | ISBN: 0719074355 | EPUB | pages: 176 | 0.4 mb This book explains how and why the European Union has started to intervene in the cultural policy sector - understood here as the public policies aimed at supporting and regulating the arts and cultural industries. It is the first comprehensive and theoretically informed account of the Communitarisation process of the cultural policy sector.  Free Download Caterina Carta, "The European Union Diplomatic Service: Ideas, Preferences and Identities" English | 2018 | ISBN: 1138376906 | EPUB | pages: 224 | 0.8 mb The book analyses the processes of institution and identity building of the European Union Diplomatic Service working on matters of foreign policy and external economic relations, both in Brussels and in the Commission's Delegations across the world. |
