Book Synopsis New Participatory Dimensions in Civil Society by : Jan W. van Deth
Download or read book New Participatory Dimensions in Civil Society written by Jan W. van Deth and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-03-15 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines citizen engagement in contemporary democratic politics and the development of new participatory forms. Based on empirical information gathered from citizens, activists and organizations, it examines the changing face of democratic participation. Advanced democracies are ‘plagued’ by the complex problem of basing political decisions on the active engagement of citizens and citizens’ organisations. Although the benefits of an active citizenry appear great, the reality is that most citizens positively embrace a relatively marginal role in organised politics. The conventional activist –citizens as active members engaged in voluntary associations and collective decision-making – seems to be replaced by passive supporters and donors or ephemeral or episodic democratic participators. This volume aims to address several issues at the core of this transformation: the rise of checkbook participation, the growing attractiveness of individualized forms of participation, and the increasing relevance of professional expertise. Looking beyond the traditional single focus on participation or on organizations in isolation, the book innovatively examines the empirical link that can be established between actual developments in democratic participations and the organizational framework in European countries. New Participatory Dimensions in Civil Society is essential reading for students and scholars of democracy, participation, civil society, politics and sociology.

Book Synopsis Interest Group Politics in Europe by : Jan Beyers
Download or read book Interest Group Politics in Europe written by Jan Beyers and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interest organizations have always assumed a prominent place in European politics because they link states with citizens, institutionalize the resolution of social conflicts, regulate important sectors of the economy and society, contribute to workable policy outcomes and socialize members into democratic politics. However, the plethora of interest group studies that exist have not consolidated our understanding of these actors. These analyses have been subject to the vagaries of different theoretical perspectives and vary greatly in their conceptual and methodological frameworks. Consequently, a not always complementary and fragmented series of findings has emerged. This book is a systematic and comprehensive effort at investigating and integrating the state of the art in European interest group research. Combining the analysis of interest group politics in the EU with the comparative study of interest organizations, the book seeks to identify the areas about which there is consolidated knowledge, that are marked by controversies, in which considerable uncertainty exists, that have been omitted from research programs and that ought to be part of future studies. Thereby, it provides a general reflection on how the study of interest group politics can be improved by linking it to the comparative study of governance. This book was published as a special issue of West European Politics.
Book Synopsis Empowerment and Disempowerment of the European Citizen by : Michael Dougan
Download or read book Empowerment and Disempowerment of the European Citizen written by Michael Dougan and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2012-11-05 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays engages with a central theme in scholarship on EU citizenship – the emancipation of certain citizens, the alienation of others – and seeks to expand its horizons to interrogate whether similar debates and trends can be identified in other fields of European integration. The focus of the book is distinctly citizen focused. It delivers the potential for the opening out of analysis of the implications of European citizenship beyond the parameters of Articles 18-25 TFEU and beyond the disciplinary confines of legal analysis alone. The book construes 'EU citizenship' in its broadest sense, and explores the extent to which the European citizen is, or indeed is not, genuinely at the heart of EU law and policy-making. Within the broader theme of empowerment and disempowerment, the contributors reflect on a range of cross-cutting themes; for example, the extent to which channels of citizen participation (can) inform EU policy-making in a 'bottom-up' sense; or whether the EU is a catalyst for the construction of new spaces and new identities.

Book Synopsis When Europe meets Bismarck by : Thomas Kostera
Download or read book When Europe meets Bismarck written by Thomas Kostera and published by Editions de l'Université de Bruxelles. This book was released on 2019-05-03 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens when the European Union sets new rules for the provision of cross-border healthcare services that once were conceived for the population living on the national territory ? This books presents how new rules on the provision of cross-border healthcare in the European Union have the potential of destabilizing national welfare boundaries. A book of political science that takes Austria, a prototypical Bismarckian healthcare system, as an example, and aims at answering questions by looking at how actors navigate between national institutional constraints and European opportunities. EXTRAIT More than 30 years ago, the social security systems of OECD states were diagnosed to be in crisis. This crisis heralded in the end of the “Golden Age” of the national welfare state. The European OECD states, which were also part of the European Community, all witnessed rising unemployment in the wake of the oil crises, and as a result of economic openness to world markets and rising competition of labor costs, Keynesian economic policies of deficit spending became unavailable as an option to revive the economy. Not only did external processes of globalization demand adaptations of the welfare states, but also internal factors such as the rising age of populations and the change of family patterns questioned whether European welfare states were still capable of delivering for national populations, and how classical branches of the welfare state such as unemployment insurance, pension systems and healthcare systems should be adapted to meet these new challenges (Esping-Andersen, 1996). Along with this crisis diagnosis of the welfare state in general, healthcare systems have become the center of governments’ attention since the 1980s, as spending on health policies has increased while the number people contributing to the social security schemes has decreased due to rising unemployment and slow economic growth. Insofar, healthcare mirrors the challenges that welfare states face in general.
Book Synopsis The EU and its Member States’ Joint Participation in International Agreements by : Nicolas Levrat
Download or read book The EU and its Member States’ Joint Participation in International Agreements written by Nicolas Levrat and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-02-24 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: EU law has developed a unique and complex system under which the Union and its Member States can both act under international law, separately, jointly or in parallel. International law was not set up to deal with such complex and hybrid arrangements, which raise questions under both international and EU law. This book assesses how EU law has been adapted to cope with the constraints of international law in situations in which the EU and its Member States act jointly in relations with other States and international organisations. In an innovative scholarly approach, reflecting this duality, each chapter is jointly written by a team of two authors. The various contributions offer new insights into the tension that continues to exist between EU and international law obligations in relation to the (joint) participation of the EU and its Member States in international agreements.

Book Synopsis European Border Regions in Comparison by : Katarzyna Stokłosa
Download or read book European Border Regions in Comparison written by Katarzyna Stokłosa and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-01-03 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Borders exist in almost every sphere of life. Initially, borders were established in connection with kingdoms, regions, towns, villages and cities. With nation-building, they became important as a line separating two national states with different “national characteristics,” narratives and myths. The term “border” has a negative connotation for being a separating line, a warning signal not to cross a line between the allowed and the forbidden. The awareness of both mental and factual borders in manifold spheres of our life has made them a topic of consideration in almost all scholarly disciplines – history, geography, political science and many others. This book primarily incorporates an interdisciplinary and comparative approach. Historians, sociologists, anthropologists and political science scholars from a diverse range of European universities analyze historical as well as contemporary perceptions and perspectives concerning border regions – inside the EU, between EU and non-EU European countries, and between European and non-European countries.
