Bøger om EU

Marlene Wind – EU-ekspert og flittig debattør – giver her sit bud på Europas tilstand. Hun frygter, at antiglobalisme og identitetspolitik vinder over dialog, samarbejde og liberale værdier. Den tendens, Marlene Wind går op imod, kalder hun tribalisering – det fænomen at befolkningsgrupper søger sammen med dem, der ligner dem selv, og bekæmper dem, der står udenfor. Vi ser det i Storbritannien, hvor Brexit-tilhængere beskylder deres modstandere for forræderi og stempler EU-tilhængerne som upatriotiske forrædere, og i populistiske bevægelser i Ungarn og Polen, hvor demokratiet har lidt nederlag over for illiberalismen, og hvor frie valg, et uafhængigt retssystem og en fri og kritisk presse står for fald. Denne bog er et wakeupcall på et tidspunkt, hvor tidligere forsvarere for liberale værdier i stigende grad tier stille eller ligefrem slutter sig til det voksende kor af tribalister. Bogen – som også findes på spansk og engelsk – opmuntrer alle europæere til at forsvare vores liberale værdier, det sande demokrati og det europæiske retssamfund.

Denne fremstilling udgør en del af værket ”Obligationsret”, som blev grundlagt af professor Bernhard Gomard. Værket er opdelt i 4 bøger, hvor denne 3. del behandler emner som kreditor- og debitorskifte samt fordringers ophør.Som Obligationsret 1., 2. og 4. Del har Obligationsret 3. Del til formål at formidle et overblik over gældende dansk obligationsret, gøre rede for almindelige obligationsretlige principper i dansk ret og at illustrere samspillet mellem forskellige regler. Skønt formålet er at redegøre for gældende dansk ret, indeholder fremstillingen en række henvisninger til norsk, svensk, tysk, engelsk, fransk ret og US-amerikansk ret. Der henvises i fremstillingen også til de lovgivningsovervejelser, der er kommet til udtryk i nogle nyere europæiske »privatkodifikationer«, nemlig DCFR (Draft Common Frame of Reference), PECL (Principles of European Contract Law) og UPICC (Uniform Principles of International Commercial Contracts).Sammenligner man den nu foreliggende udgave af Obligationsret 3. Del med førsteudgaven fra 1993, vil man se, at der reelt er tale om en ny bog. Størstedelen af teksten er om- eller nyskrevet. Som følge af ændringerne i lovgivningen siden 1993 – bl.a. nye regler om digital tinglysning i 2006, om forældelse i 2007, om rekonstruktion i 2011 og om meget andet (herunder om betalinger, hvidvask og kapitalmarkeder) – og tilkomsten af mange nye retsafgørelser og litterære bidrag er det begrænset, hvad der står tilbage af den oprindelige tekst, der blev trykt for 25 år siden.Der er i almindelighed ikke taget hensyn til materiale, der er fremkommet efter den 3. januar 2018.

The book provides a comprehensive legal assessment of four different types of safe pathways to protection in the EU: the asylum visa, resettlement, ad hoc humanitarian admission and sponsorship programs. It investigates the effects these pathways can have on the asylum paradox, that is the paradoxical interplay in current EU asylum policy between the granting of territorial protection on the one hand and the prevention of access to territory on the other.Based on the assumption, that the asylum paradox is the result of a conflict of responsibility principles, the book develops an analytical tool, a responsibility framework, for the analysis and assessment. Overall, the book identifies normative differences, depending on the specific pathway and its details of implementation.

The new Data Act is not only the centrepiece of the new EU data regulation, but probably also the most complex piece within the mosaic created by the EU Data Strategy. The regulation establishes b2b and b2c data access rights, stipulates rules for 'fair' data contracts, and tackles b2g data access in exceptional circumstances. The new rules are especially directed at IoT devices, smart contracts, and cloud services. The work offers an introduction to the new rules. Genealogy, structure, and practical consequences of the new Act are laid down - nonetheless with regard to the existing legal framework (e. g. data protection law). The authors' research is dedicated to European and International Information and Data Law.Dr. Gordian Konstantin Ebner | Prof. Dr. Moritz Hennemann, M.Jur.

The work deals with Digital Commons. These are a case of the new organizational forms developed in the realm of digital economy and fall under the notion of "Network Enterprise", substituting the classical hierarchical forms of firms with horizontal cooperation between independent agents.They are hybrid forms of organization, which reject both markets and hierarchies, as the two mainstream organizational modes of conventional economics. They are based on individual autonomy combined with egalitarian cooperative mechanisms, trying to reap the best of the organizational structure of firms without sacrificing individual autonomy.

From the 1972 Stockholm Declaration to the European Union's Green Deal, the principles of international environmental law have successfully permeated the multilateral discourse. They are also woven into a large patchwork of international treaties, binding the international community and requiring their implementation at the domestic level. This materials collection provides an edited compilation of international and European environmental law documents. Alongside the fundamentals as well as the procedural and liability frameworks, it includes a selection of the most relevant sectoral treaties relating to air, ozone, climate, freshwater, oceans, biodiversity, and hazardous substances.

Die Nachkriegsgeschichte ist geprägt vom Gedanken des stetigen Zusammenwachsens Europas. Schon die ökonomischen Krisen der vergangenen Jahre ließen jedoch verstärkt Zweifel an dieser Linearität aufkommen, die spätestens durch den Brexit enorm verstärkt werden. Dieses wissenschaftliche Textbuch gibt einen Einblick in den interdisziplinären Diskurs und das mittlerweile vielseitige Angebot an (des-)integrationstheoretischen Ansätzen zur Beschreibung, Erklärung und Prognose von Krisen und von der Desintegration Europas. Im Zentrum der Betrachtung stehen sowohl drei als etabliert geltende Forschungsrichtungen als auch drei jüngere Ansätze, die bis dahin noch nicht fokussierte Fragen, Aspekte und Ursache-Wirkungszusammenhänge aufzeigen und neue Modellierungen europäischer (Des-)Integrationsphänomene und -entwicklungen ermöglichen.Das Buch richtet sich an in dem Themengebiet fortgeschrittene Studierende, Wissenschaftler, Politiker im EU-Kontext, in der Politikberatung Tätige sowie alle, die an der politischen und wirtschaftlichen EU-Integration interessiert sind.

Yes, European social policy exists, and its origins can be traced back nearly 70 years. This book succeeds in demystifying Social Europe and explains its significance in the integration process for the broader public. Björn Hacker maps out the lines of conflict in social affairs between Member States and the EU, as well as between economic and social progress. These lines of conflict determine the modes and actors of European social policy, creating tangible development stages with different focus points. Going back to Willy Brandt and Jacques Delors the author highlights visions of Social Europe in their respective paradigmatic environment and mirrors what is left of them today. Challenges of socioeconomic imbalances, the twin transformation and multiple crises setting, make this book an indispensable companion for all those who want to understand and further progress Social Europe. The volume on Social Europe is part of the Foundation for European Progressive Studies (FEPS) Primers Series.

Die Herausforderungen für das Regieren in Europa und insb. in der EU und in ihren Mitgliedstaaten werden nicht geringer; im Gegenteil, Entwicklungen wie die Finanz- bzw. Schuldenkrise, der Austritt Großbritanniens aus der EU, die COVID-19-Pandemie, starke anti-europäische Tendenzen in einzelnen Mitgliedstaaten oder der Angriff Russlands auf die Ukraine waren 2003, dem Jahr der Veröffentlichung der ersten Festschrift für Professor Rudolf Hrbek, kaum denk- und vorstellbar. Die Autorinnen und Autoren nehmen sehr unterschiedliche Perspektiven ein, wenn sie der Frage nachgehen, wie die Europäische Union mit den jüngsten Herausforderungen umgeht und welche Lehren sie daraus zieht.

Knowing what people think feels more like a curse than a blessing to Kathy van der Laan. After all, how do you deal with discovering your employer is a pervert, your father's replaying scenes from the car accident that killed your mother, and suspecting the guy ahead of you in the department store to be the reason for the latest amber alert? Unable to explain the source of her knowledge, Kathy reduces her interactions, sends anonymous tips to police and tries not to remind her father about a loss they both can't get past. Then she receives an offer from the Syndicate, a shadowy organization which purports to shape policy within the EU, and where she discovers her mother worked till her death. To find out more about her mother, can she risk joining a group that seems to know too much about her dangerous gift?

TTIP is not "dead". The author demonstrates why many of the TTIP negotiating content is more relevant today than ever before in connection with the ongoing EU-US trade negotiations that have been picking up new speed. From the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) to the Trump administration's trade war, this book examines the transatlantic trade relationship between the European Union and the United States and the political implications on both sides of the Atlantic. This book also provides policy recommendations for both sides on how to move forward based on the analysis. An outlook for trade in the 21st century is provided drawing on trade history between the two entities over the years up until the current 2023 trends.

Was ist der Unterschied zwischen Europäischem Rat und Europarat? Wo liegen die Ursachen für die zahlreichen Krisen, die Europa gemeistert - oder noch vor sich - hat? In seiner 4., überarbeiteten und aktualisierten Auflage erklärt das Buch, wie unser neues Europa funktioniert, welche ungeahnten Freiheiten und Chancen es uns bietet - und warum es mitunter nicht funktioniert.

Dieses bewährte, leicht lesbare Taschenlexikon lädt Einsteiger wie Europa-Kenner gleichermaßen ein, mitzumachen, zu kritisieren und zu diskutieren. Europa ist zugegeben unperfekt, aber es ist das Erstaunlichste, was wir auf unserem Kontinent in den letzten Jahrhunderten auf die Beine gestellt haben.

The 2008 financial crisis brought the far-reaching influence of credit ratings on capital markets into focus and confirmed doubts about the quality of ratings published by rat-ing agencies. In the context of regulatory efforts to limit the influence of ratings, Marius Müller addresses the question to what extent investment funds are obliged to sell bonds that no longer comply with investment guidelines following a rating downgrade. Results of a statistical analysis of 200 European and U.S. fund prospectuses are evaluated in the light of regulatory objectives. Subsequently, a structural proposal for the formulation of investment guidelines is developed, accounting for the protection of investor interests and market functioning.

Der 28. Band der Edition behandelt die 51 regulären und fünf Sondersitzungen des ersten Kabinetts von Bundeskanzler Helmut Schmidt im Jahr 1975. Einen thematischen Schwerpunkt bildeten dabei die institutionelle Weiterentwicklung der EG, gerade auch im Hinblick auf die Direktwahl des Europäischen Parlaments, die Angleichung der wirtschaftlichen und sozialen Unterschiede der Mitgliedstaaten sowie die gemeinsame Agrarpolitik. Ein besonderes Augenmerk legte die Bundesregierung als Hauptbeitragszahlerin auf Haushaltsdisziplin und eine verstärkte Kontrolle der EG-Finanzen. Die seit 1973 andauernde Energiekrise und die damit verbundenen Arbeitsmarkt- und Konjunkturprobleme versuchte sie im internationalen Rahmen zu bewältigen. Im November 1975 fand dazu der erste Weltwirtschaftsgipfel in Rambouillet statt. Über verstärkten Dialog mit den erdölproduzierenden Ländern sollten die Energiepreise auf ein für die Wirtschaft verträgliches Niveau gebracht werden. Gleichzeitig zeigten zwei Terrorakte, die Entführung des CDU-Politikers Peter Lorenz in Berlin sowie die Geiselnahme in der deutschen Botschaft in Stockholm, dass der bereits geplante Ausbau der Sicherheitsorgane und deren stärkere Vernetzung dringend umzusetzen war.

This book investigates the multifaceted conflicts of sovereignty in the recent crises in the European Union.

This book studies how domestic contestation influences the security policy of small states within the European Union (EU) and North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).A multinational group of expert contributors consider how domestic contestation is translated into small states' foreign policies, how membership of international organisations alters attitudes to security policy in small states and how patterns of small states' behaviour across domestic traditions, security cultures and geographical location can be identified. Anchored in new institutionalism, the book explores the influence of international organisations on security policies and the tensions created by connecting four strands of literature, on Europeanisation, on the impact of and on institutions, on the way foreign and security policy is made, and the security/strategic culture of small states.It will be of interest to all scholars and students of international relations, security studies, EU studies, area studies and politics.

This book explores the concept and practice of resilience that has generated much debate among both scholars and practitioners. The contributions propose a new understanding of resilience, both as a quality and a way of thinking, taking it to the level of 'the person' and 'the local', to argue that a more sustainable way to govern the world today is bottom-up and inside-out.While carrying a seemingly unifying message of self-reliance, adaptation and survival in the face of adversity, resilience curiously continues to appear as 'all things to all people', making it hard for the EU and international institutions to make full use of its arresting potential. Engendering resilience today, in the highly volatile and uncertain world hit by crises, pandemic and diminishing control, becomes a priority as never before. This book develops a more comprehensive view of resilience by looking at it both as a quality of the system and a way of thinking inherent to 'the local' that cannot be engineered from the outside. It is argued in this volume that in some cases the level of 'the person', especially the person's sense of what constitutes a 'good life', may be the most appropriate focus for understanding change and strategic adaptation in response to it. This understanding widens the scope of discussion from what makes an entity, system or person more adaptable, to how one can best govern today to establish a stable equilibrium between the global and the local, the external and the internal, and become more responsive to the challenges and changes of today's highly uncertain world.The chapters in this book were originally published in the journal Contemporary Security Policy.

This book explores the modes of European Union (EU) contestation which are mobilized by populist parties and seeks to unearth the relationship of such contestation with populist discourses.

This volume explores how the recent intra-EU migrations reflect new and more complex patterns of mobility, increasingly uncertain and unstable, involving both natives and naturalised migrants.

This volume examines what the concept of ideology can add to our understanding of the European Union, and the way in which the process of European integration has inflected the ideological battles that define contemporary European politics, both nationally and transnationally.Contemporary debates on the nature and value of the European Union often touch on the notion of ideology. The EU's critics routinely describe it as an ideologically-motivated project, associating it from the left with a form of 'neo-liberal capitalism' or from the right with 'liberal multiculturalism'. Its defenders often praise it in explicitly post- or anti-ideological terms, as a regulatory body focused on the production of output legitimacy, or as a bulwark against dangerous ideological revivals in the form of nationalism and populism. Yet the existing academic literature linking the study of the EU with that of ideologies is surprisingly thin. This volume brings together a number of original contributions by leading international scholars and takes an approach that is both historical and conceptual, probing the EU's ideological roots, while also laying the grounds for a reappraisal of its contemporary ideological make-up.The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the Journal of European Public Policy.

This book examines the Islamic headscarf cases of the Court of Justice of the European Union and places these in context of the Islamophobia existing across Europe. It assesses how EU law can best protect women who want to wear headscarves at work for religious reasons and why this protection is important not only for the women but also for the EU.

The book addresses the impact of the European Union (EU) on subnational mobilization in small unitary states.Located at the intersection of contributions from the literatures on multilevel governance and Europeanization, this book offers a new theoretical framework to account for state rescaling processes in small unitary states. By means of a comparative analysis of eight small unitary states in Europe, this book shows that the impact of the EU on subnational mobilization is filtered through domestic mediating factors which can lead to three possible outcomes: decentralization, recentralization or no change. The book offers a balanced combination of analytical clarity and the richness of empirical accounts in a wide diversity of case studies. It sheds a new light on the 'hybrid nature' of the European polity and demonstrates that member state governments have remained the most important pieces of the European puzzle. Overall, it arrives at two conclusions: first, that we are witnessing a 'transformation of the state' rather than its demise; second, the notion of a 'Europe of the Regions' in small unitary states was no more than a 'damp squib'.¿The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the journal, Regional & Federal Studies.

According to the European Commission, two recent policies: the Digital Service Act and the Digital Market Act will allow for the regulation of a significant part of the EU Digital Single Market (DSM), to an extent similar to the creation of the traditional internal market in the early 1990s. The provisions are intended to improve conditions in the EU DSM to ensure that the market is as free and fair as it is safe for users of the digital economy.This interdisciplinary book analyses the impact of digital technologies on specific markets and, more broadly, the society and the economy. It identifies and assesses the different features, challenges, trends and dimensions of the EU DSM, from a legal and economic viewpoint, and also from a Polish perspective. Poland is presented as one of the EU countries participating in the creation of the EU DSM and is analysed alongside the average, as well as the best and the worst performing EU member states and compared with other non-EU members.The book addresses several broad areas in which the implications of digitalisation are particularly visible, and which are important to the "average" person: giant online platforms, freedom of speech, e-commerce, digital levy, energy infrastructure, and the labour market. The authors have presented opportunities and threats related to the functioning of the digital market. These opportunities and threats are typical of highly developed countries while reflecting the specific features of the EU DSM. The starting point of the considerations are the diverse experiences of the EU member states.The book adds a voice to the public debate on the role of the digital economy in the contemporary world and will be a useful guide for students and researchers in economics, law, and international relations.Chapters 1 and 2 of this book are available for free in PDF format as Open Access from the individual product page at ww.routledge.com .

This book provides an in-depth guide to researchers and practitioners who are interested in analyzing the evolution of EU law from a national and comparative constitutional law perspective.

This book fosters critical reflection on Europe's place in a fast-changing global environment, covering the soft and hard facets of EU power along the spectrum of low politics-high politics.

This book examines how Europe-wide issues - such as immigration, cross-national redistribution and further European integration - have reshaped electoral democracy and party competition across Europe.After decades of scholars and commentators bemoaning the limited politicization of the EU nationally, European issues have come to dominate domestic electoral politics. From the Eurozone crisis to the struggle of dealing with growing numbers of migrants and refugees entering Europe, EU-wide issues now occupy a salient part of the domestic political debate. This book examines what drives public opinion towards some of the key Europe-wide issues of the day and how these EU issues shapes electoral behaviour and party competition. It brings together leading scholars from different fields to explore what shapes preferences towards Europe-wide policy issues, how they influence electoral behaviour and party fortunes and what the implications are for the quality of European democracy. Overall, this book deepens our understanding of the state of European democracy domestically in an era in which national and Europe-wide problems and policy solutions are inextricably linked.The chapters in this book were originally published in the Journal of European Public Policy.
