Book Synopsis Sweden and European Integration by : Lee Miles
Download or read book Sweden and European Integration written by Lee Miles and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-02-03 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1997, this volume examines the future development of the European Union (and Sweden's role within it) which has been a subject of intense debate. Whilst to outside observers, the Swedish case may seem peripheral to mainstream events on the continental mainland due to the country's status as a small state, Sweden will nevertheless have an important contribution to make to the future evolution of the European Union. The purpose of this book is to examine the complex inter-relationship between Sweden and European integration (1950-96). It introduces the concept of the 'Swedish Diamond' to explain why the country's governing elite resisted and then went on to seek and attain full EU membership. The author also argues that a revised 'Membership Diamond' represents a useful conceptual framework for examining elite attitudes and perspectives now that Sweden is a full EU member. The book also includes a Foreword by the Swedish Defence Minister, Björn von Sydow.

Book Synopsis European Integration and National Identity by : Lene Hansen
Download or read book European Integration and National Identity written by Lene Hansen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-08-29 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The four Nordic countries, Denmark, Finland, Sweden and Norway, have all held referenda on their relationship to the European Union in the 1990's. These referenda catalysed heated debates: should Finland and Sweden give up neutrality? Should Denmark follow the European Union's move towards higher degrees of integration? And, had there been enough change in Norway to reverse the rejection of European Community membership in 1972? These key questions about the future of European integration are addressed in this highly topical book by examining the crucial role played by national identity.
Book Synopsis Europeanization in Sweden by : Anna Meeuwisse
Download or read book Europeanization in Sweden written by Anna Meeuwisse and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2018-12-17 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Notwithstanding its many successes since 1945, the project of European integration currently faces major difficulties, from financial crises and mass immigration to the impending departure of the UK from the European Union. At the same time, these challenges have spurred civil society organizations within and across Europe, revealing a shared public sphere in which citizens can mobilize around refugee rights, opposition to austerity policies, and other issues. Europeanization in Sweden assembles new empirical research on how these processes have played out in one of the continent’s wealthiest nations, providing insights into whether, and how, the “Swedish model” can guide European integration.
Book Synopsis Swedish Social Democracy and European Integration by : Nicholas Aylott
Download or read book Swedish Social Democracy and European Integration written by Nicholas Aylott and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-01-22 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1999, this volume why Europe’s arguably most successful political party, the Swedish Social Democratic Party, become so divided over European integration. Why were its grass-roots so reluctant to embrace EU membership and why did a Social Democratic government decide to stand aside from the launch of the single European currency? What connection is there between Europe and the Swedish model of political economy? While much has been written in English on Swedish Social Democracy, little of this literature has dealt with its difficulties during the 1990s and especially with its acute problems over Europe. This book fills that gap. Using original, primary data, Nicholas Aylott addresses the topic from macro and micro-political perspectives, taking account of historical, cultural, geopolitical and economic constraints, but also the interests and calculations of key individuals at critical junctures. It places the experience of Swedish Social Democracy into a broad comparative framework, drawing especially from the experiences of its Scandinavian sister parties. Up-to-date analysis of the party’s debate on EMU is included.

Book Synopsis Sweden: From Neutrality to International Solidarity by : Ryszard M. Czarny
Download or read book Sweden: From Neutrality to International Solidarity written by Ryszard M. Czarny and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-04-27 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the legal and political factors determining international relations, including the processes of integration in all their complexity. The overall structure of the book, together with the composition of its separate chapters, allows for some general assumptions, identifying the main tendencies and placing them in a contemporary social context as well as establishing their relations with the practices of today. The content is a compendium of basic information and data related to the international processes which occur within specific formal, legal and political frames. The book is divided into five parts featuring not only deep historical context but most of all presenting current information and analyses of the last few years. Presented against the background and within the context of the Kingdom of Sweden’s political system and its international environment, the book brings into the foreground issues of particular importance for Sweden’s continuing European integration process and describes its response to the developments in the international situation.
Book Synopsis Sweden and Poland Entering the EU by : Niklas Eklund
Download or read book Sweden and Poland Entering the EU written by Niklas Eklund and published by University of Iceland Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although from very different countries and political experiences, elites in Sweden and Poland show remarkable cognitive similarities. Another contribution to a cross-national understanding of adaptation to the EU is the cognitive model, which is developed on the basis of empirical study. The model expands upon and goes beyond the simple dichotomy of Enthusiasts and Skeptics in the discussion about European integration. Two new categories are introduced and defined as Voluntarists and Pragmatists. The argument is that new cognitive categories are necessary to improve the description and analysis of how national policy makers in Europe set up long-term political goals and manage complex issues in the process of European integration.

Book Synopsis Swedish Economic Integration Into the European Union as a Latecomer by : Sang-chŏ̕l Pak
Download or read book Swedish Economic Integration Into the European Union as a Latecomer written by Sang-chŏ̕l Pak and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sweden became a member of the European Union (EU) in 1995. Since then, she has been integrated into the EU's internal market under the Single Market Programme (SMP). Before Sweden's accession to the EU, she was a member of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) signed with the EU in 1972. Later, Sweden signed to become a member of the European Economic Area (EEA) in 1992, which ensures participation in the SMP for nations that are not members of the EU. Despite her long membership, the twin faces of a Euro outsider still exist in public opinion. It is divided on the issue of further European integration. Her position has faced highly skeptical EU public opinion, particularly in the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU). Moreover, her positioning as a euro outsider has been perceived by the euro member nations as that of a selective supranationalist despite the desire of the Swedish government to build a good European nation with a mixed policy portfolio. The Swedish economy has benefited since its full accession to the EU compared with the EEA. This paper discusses whether the Swedish EU membership has contributed to the economic integration with the EU positively or not. Furthermore, it analyzes which actors have been the biggest winners and losers from the full accession to the EU. Last but not least it also investigates the challenges and prospects for the Swedish economy in the near future.
Book Synopsis Sweden and the European Union by : Daniel Silander
Download or read book Sweden and the European Union written by Daniel Silander and published by Santerus Academic Press. This book was released on 2020-04-29 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What has EU-membership meant for Swedish policy and policy-making since the country became a member in 1995? Has Swedish policy changed in terms of organisation (form) and content (substance) as a result of an increasingly consolidated membership? Based on the assumption that Swedish policy is part of multilevel governance at a local, regional, national and European level, the focus is on the interaction between Swedish national policy and the EU. In this book 'Swedish policy' refers to the following policy areas: economic, agricultural, environmental, social, education, gender equality, asylum and migration, crime prevention, foreign and security, neighbourhood and development and aid. Every policy area has been scrutinised over time, from the moment of entry into the EU until today. The book addresses students at various levels, as well as politicians, civil servants and journalists with regard to how Sweden and Europe in general, and Swedish policy and the EU in particular, are interwoven in one political system.
Book Synopsis Adapting to European Integration by : Kenneth Hanf
Download or read book Adapting to European Integration written by Kenneth Hanf and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-09-11 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adapting to European Integration describes how the political institutions in eight small member states and two non-members responded to the internal and external demands springing from the process of European integration in general and EC/EU membership in particular. The study makes a distinction between governmental/administrative adaptation, political adaptation and strategic adaptation. The chapters focus, in the first instance, on the governmental/administrative responses at the level of central government, the organisational adjustments and the changes in institutional capacity to meet the new challenges. The authors also look at the willingness of the political decision-makers to internalise the EC/EU dimension in domestic policy making and the way in which the country's own history as well as the attitude towards European integration facilitate or hinder adaptation and change.

Book Synopsis The European Union and the Return of the Nation State by : Antonina Bakardjieva Engelbrekt
Download or read book The European Union and the Return of the Nation State written by Antonina Bakardjieva Engelbrekt and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-01-22 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the complex and ever-changing relationship between the European Union and its member states. The recent surge in tension in this relationship has been prompted by the actions of some member state governments as they question fundamental EU values and principles and refuse to implement common decisions seemingly on the basis of narrowly defined national interests. Furthermore, Brexit forces the EU for the first time to face the prospect of a major member state preparing to leave the Union. Are these developments heralding the return of the nation-state, and if so, in what form? Is the national revival a lasting phenomenon that will affect the EU for a long time to come, or is it a transitory trend? This book takes an interdisciplinary approach to answer these questions. It brings together scholars from economics, law, and political science to provide insights into the multifaceted relations between the Union and its member states from different perspectives. All chapters are based on up-to-date research findings, succinct assessments of the current state of affairs and ongoing debates about the direction of European integration. The book concludes by offering policy recommendations at European and national levels.
