Book Synopsis Globalisation Vs. Sovereignty? The European Response by : Leon Brittan
Download or read book Globalisation Vs. Sovereignty? The European Response written by Leon Brittan and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1998-03-05 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sir Leon Brittan, Vice-President of the European Commission, has worked at the very highest levels of the European Union for most of the last decade. Sir Leon has shaped some of the landmarks of European policy, including the development of new political and economic relations between the EC and the former satellite states of the Soviet Union, has been Europe's architect of the most ambitious global trade deal ever undertaken, and has been responsible for the dramatic evolution in Europe's competition policy and the building of strong European relations with the United States, China, Japan, and many other countries. In this publication, some of Sir Leon's most important speeches are gathered together. They explain in clear and succinct terms what the implications of European integration are in the context of an increasingly globalised international economy. How should traditional concepts of sovereignty be adapted? What is the real logic and purpose of European Economic and Monetary Union? How should the transatlantic relationship develop after the Cold War? These and many other questions are tackled in a comprehensive and readily accessible way.
Book Synopsis Globalization and Human Rights by : Jesús Ballesteros
Download or read book Globalization and Human Rights written by Jesús Ballesteros and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-04-14 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globalisation turns out to be untenable because it does not guarantee minimum social equity, peace and respect for the environment, and therefore does not guarantee the effective accomplishment of human rights. This book analyzes this issue and raises proposals for a new perspective. The first part describes the soft threats to human rights, derived from the devaluation of the politics and the productive economy with regard to the finance. It entails the concealment of the reality in the shape of exploitation as the tax havens and in the shape of marginalization of the persons with different abilities. The second part include a study of hard threats to human rights and examines two cases of failed states: Afghanistan and Somalia, in which the violence has supplanted the politics and the economy. In view of these situations it is necessary to rethink the force of classic ius gentium and the humanitarian right. The third part presents the European Union as a legal and political space in which conditions of a worthy life are better defended by means of the Primacy of Practical Reason and Social State of Law, and by the requirement of peace as the main rule of international relations.
Download or read book Pathbreakers written by Margrit Müller and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2008 with total page 552 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book concentrates on how small European countries coped with economic integration and disintegration during the twentieth century. Small countries had to adapt flexibly to the drastically changing conditions outside their borders. They had to find ways of maintaining their political autonomy notwithstanding their economic dependence, and they have been quite successful in accomplishing this difficult balancing act. The authors analyse how small countries responded to the challenges of the international system and describe the different policies and strategies pursued by governments, industries and firms. Originating from the XIII. Congress of the International Economic History Association (IEHA), the contributions to this volume offer new perspectives on a widely debated topic and contribute to a better understanding of the current process of globalisation in small and large countries. The volume is divided into three sections: I. Coping with Different Regimes for International Trade and Changing Competitiveness; II. From an Open World Economy to Economic Disintegration and Protectionism; III. Trade Liberalisation, European Integration and Deregulation.

Book Synopsis The European Union: a response to globalization or a part of it? by : Sebastian Weber
Download or read book The European Union: a response to globalization or a part of it? written by Sebastian Weber and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2005-08-16 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2003 in the subject Politics - Topic: European Union, grade: 2, University of Cape Town, course: The Political Economy of International Relations, language: English, abstract: The world order of today, unlike 50 years ago, is dominated by two phenomena: globalization and regionalism. Although globalization is the “word on everyone’s lips”, there are around 170 regional agreements today - half of these concluded since 1990 - with the European Union as probably the best known and the most unique one of these agreements (Moore 2000, p.1). Whereas some argue that regionalism is a threat to the efficiency created through globalization), others regard it either as a mean to participate in the globalization process and therefore a part of it or the only “efficient response to the challenges of a continuously deepening polarization generated by the capitalist globalization process” (Ruggiero 1997, p.2; Moore 2000, p.3; Mittelman 1999, p.27; Amir 1999, p.54). Whether regionalism contradicts globalization or complements it, depends heavily on the definition of both concepts as well as on the way a region acts within the framework of the global system (Hettne 1999, p.1). In order to address the question, whether the European Union, as a regional project, is contributing or responding to globalization and with respect to Hettne’s above mentioned argument, the first chapter of this essay will set the framework for the following discussion by defining the two concepts – globalization and regionalism. Chapter three will give a brief overview of the European Union’s core policies and its framework as they are crucial to analysing the European Union’s role in the world system. Concluding from these two chapters the initial question will be addressed in chapter five, by an analysis of the policies of the European Union. A resume will be taken in the last chapter.
Book Synopsis European Competition Policy and Globalization by : Chad Damro
Download or read book European Competition Policy and Globalization written by Chad Damro and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the domestic and international dimensions of European Union (EU) competition policy, particularly mergers, anti-competitive practices and state aids. The authors argue that important changes in EU competition policy are having profound effects on the global political economy, and these changes are best understood as European Commission responses to new domestic and international pressures. Using a two-level game analytical framework that is both intra-EU and global in scope, Damro and Guay investigate a wide variety of domestic and foreign public and private actors that interact in crucial ways to determine the development and implementation of EU competition policy. They address this broad question: In what ways do changing external and internal factors affect the evolution of the EU's competition policy and the role that the Commission plays in it? Among the conclusions is that the EU – and particularly the European Commission – has become a leading global regulator.
Book Synopsis Globalization and Europe's Rural Regions by : Birte Nienaber
Download or read book Globalization and Europe's Rural Regions written by Birte Nienaber and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-03 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the multiple ways in which rural regions in Europe are being restructured through globalization and the regional development responses that they have adopted. It provides an understanding of the key challenges and opportunities for rural regions arising from the major economic, social, political and cultural changes associated with globalization, including trade liberalization and economic deregulation, increased international migration, and the rise of global consciousness about environmental issues. Drawing on examples and findings from a major European research project, DERREG, the book presents detailed case studies of ten regions in different parts of Europe, exploring the factors that lead to different experiences of globalization in each of the regions, and highlighting examples of good practice in regional development responses. The book concludes by proposing a typology of regional responses to globalization and considering the policy implications of the research findings. As such, ’Globalization and Europe’s Rural Regions’ is important reading for geographers, sociologists, planners and economists interested in understanding the impact of globalization in rural regions, and for rural development professionals seeking to mobilize effective responses.
Book Synopsis Governing Europe in a Globalizing World by : Laurent Warlouzet
Download or read book Governing Europe in a Globalizing World written by Laurent Warlouzet and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-08-16 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The complex relationship between globalization and European integration was largely shaped in the 1970s. During this decade, globalization began, for the first time, to threaten Western European prosperity. Using an innovative approach, the book shows how western Europeans coped with the challenges of globalization during a time of deep economic crisis during the period 1973-1986. It examines the evolution of economic and social policies at the national, European and global level and expands beyond the European Economic Community (EEC) by analysing the various solutions envisaged by European decision-makers towards regulating globalization, including the creation of the Single Market. Based on extensively examined archives of transnational actors, international organizations and focusing on the governments of France, Germany and the UK, as well as the European Commission, the book uncovers deep, previously unknown, economic divisions among these actors and the roles they played in the success of the EEC. This book will be of key interest to students, scholars and practitioners of political science, European studies, history, comparative politics, public policy and economic history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European Union (EU) has reached crisis point. Populist and Nativist forces are militating against years of austerity economics, distant elites, and a rising tide of migration.

This book argues for reform not revolution. By interviewing politicians, economists, representatives of national bodies and EU citizens, this book provides unique insights never before disclosed and makes a major contribution to current debates on the future of the EU and the Eurozone.

Book Synopsis An Economic History of Twentieth-Century Europe by : Ivan T. Berend
Download or read book An Economic History of Twentieth-Century Europe written by Ivan T. Berend and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-04-20 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major history of economic regimes and economic performance throughout the twentieth century. Ivan T. Berend looks at the historic development of the twentieth-century European economy, examining both its failures and its successes in responding to the challenges of this crisis-ridden and troubled but highly successful age. The book surveys the European economy's chronological development, the main factors of economic growth, and the various economic regimes that were invented and introduced in Europe during the twentieth century. Professor Berend shows how the vast disparity between the European regions that had characterized earlier periods gradually began to disappear during the course of the twentieth century as more and more countries reached a more or less similar level of economic development. This accessible book will be required reading for students in European economic history, economics, and modern European history.
Book Synopsis Globalization and the State in Central and Eastern Europe by : Jan Drahokoupil
Download or read book Globalization and the State in Central and Eastern Europe written by Jan Drahokoupil and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the transformation of the state in Central and Eastern Europe since the end of communism and adoption of market oriented reform in the early 1990s, exploring the impact of globalization and economic liberalization on the region’s states, societies and political economy. It compares the different policies and national strategies adopted by key Central and Eastern European states, including the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary and Slovakia, showing how initial internally oriented strategies of market reform, privileging domestic sources of investment, had by the late 1990s given way to externally oriented strategies emphasising the promotion of competitiveness by attracting foreign investment. It explores the reasons behind this convergence, considering the influence of internal and external forces, and the roles of interests, institutions and ideas. It argues that internationalization of the state is forged in the processes through which domestic groups linked to transnational capital attain domestic influence necessary to shape state policy and strategy. These groups — the comprador service sector in particular — constitute and organize political, social and institutional support of the competition state in the region. Overall, this book not only provides a detailed account of the political economy of post-communist transformation in Central and Eastern Europe, but also the processes by which states adapt to the forces of globalization.
