The Political Economy of Lobbying: Channels of Influence and their Regulation

The Political Economy of Lobbying: Channels of Influence and their Regulation by Karsten Mause, Andreas Polk
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2024 | 378 Pages | ISBN : 3031443926 | 12.7 MB

Lobbying is not only the subject of ongoing, heated debates in politics and the public sphere but has also been a focus of the social sciences for decades. This edited volume provides an overview of the current state of research on lobbying from the perspective of Public Choice as a subfield of political science and economics. After a brief introduction to the field, Part I provides an overview of basic concepts and political-economic theories of lobbying from the standpoints of various subfields of Public Choice. Subsequently, Part II investigates the various channels used by interest groups to influence policymakers, such as party donations, informational lobbying, hiring politicians, etc. These chapters also discuss the possibilities and limits of regulating the respective channels. Lastly, Part III sheds light on lobbying in selected regions (i.e., the United States, European Union, Russia, and China).

European Actorness in a Shifting Geopolitical Order: European Strategic Autonomy Through Differentiated Integration

European Actorness in a Shifting Geopolitical Order: European Strategic Autonomy Through Differentiated Integration

European Actorness in a Shifting Geopolitical Order: European Strategic Autonomy Through Differentiated Integration by Pernille Rieker , Mathilde T. E. Giske
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 147 Pages | ISBN : 3031445457 | 3.5 MB

With the unprovoked Russian invasion of Ukraine, European security has been put on high alert. The implications of the Russian military invasion are many and difficult to grasp in full. However, the need for greater European strategic autonomy appears increasingly evident. The book argues that strategic autonomy may be reached—also in the short run—if differentiated integration is seen as an asset rather than a challenge. While the EU (together with NATO) remains the core in such a system, there is a multitude sub-regional integration processes that need to be taken into account to get the full idea of how European strategic autonomy can be achieved.

The Impact of EU Politicisation on Voting Behaviour in Europe

The Impact of EU Politicisation on Voting Behaviour in Europe

The Impact of EU Politicisation on Voting Behaviour in Europe by Marina Costa Lobo
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 357 Pages | ISBN : 3031291867 | 18.4 MB

This book focuses on the importance that EU politicization has gained in European democracies and the consequences for voting behaviour in six countries of the EU: Belgium, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Portugal and Spain. Most of the studies which research the way the EU is being legitimised focus on the European Parliament elections. In this book we argue that to understand how EU accountability works, it is necessary to focus instead on national elections and the national political environment. Through a detailed, multimethod analysis this book establishes rigorously the paths of European accountability at the national level, its propitious contexts in the media and parliamentary debates, and whether the paths are similar from Greece to Germany. The findings have implications for both national and European Union democracy, underlining the importance that national institutions have in enabling citizens to hold the EU accountable.

Nationalism in Internationalism: Ireland's Relationship with the European Union

Nationalism in Internationalism: Ireland's Relationship with the European Union

Nationalism in Internationalism: Ireland's Relationship with the European Union by ichael Holmes , Kathryn Simpson
English | PDF,EPUB | 147 Pages | ISBN : 3031092880 | 3.4 MB

This book interprets the relationship between Ireland and the European Union (EU). We are coming up to 50 years since Ireland acceded to the EU (2023), and the links between the two are unique and distinctive. The volume presents an original interpretation of Irish-EU relations, and this in turn has implications for a wider understanding of the EU. Its aim is to analyse the Irish-EU relationship from the idea of two apparently contradictory political ideas – internationalism (as represented by European integration in this particular instance) and nationalism (long the dominant value in Irish politics). The authors argue that to date the contradictions have been managed with considerable ease, leading us to characterise the Irish-EU relationship as “nationalism within internationalism”.

European Integration and the Crisis of Social Democracy

European Integration and the Crisis of Social Democracy

European Integration and the Crisis of Social Democracy by James L. Newell
English | PDF,EPUB | 2022 | 231 Pages | ISBN : 3031088212 | 4.4 MB

This is a book about European integration and mainstream parties of the left, the main underlying question driving it being: Given that the communist left was fatally wounded by the collapse of the Berlin Wall; given that, since then, the terms ‘left’ and ‘right’ have not infrequently been attacked (especially by populists) as being no longer useful for making sense of politics; given that social democracy, understood as ‘national Keynesianism’ no longer appears to be viable (as reflected in its long-term electoral decline), what does it mean to be on the left in the early 21st century and what can be done to revive its fortunes? Its answer is that being on the left means embracing principles of equality and international solidarity, and that since the nation state is too small to respond effectively to climate change and the other most pressing issues of the present, no viable strategy for left-wing revival in Europe can dispense with European integration as a central element, of which European democratisation is a core component.

Routes to a Resilient European Union: Interdisciplinary European Studies

Routes to a Resilient European Union: Interdisciplinary European Studies by Antonina Bakardjieva Engelbrekt
English | PDF,EPUB | 2022 | 266 Pages | ISBN : 3030931641 | 5.2 MB

“In an increasingly globalized world, the EU stands out for its economic strength and value-based social and environmental consciousness. However, our democratic system is being tested from inside and outside the union. It is therefore crucial to strengthen the EU’s resilience on the internal market, security, digital transformation, and climate change. This book is therefore highly relevant. It discusses resilience from different perspectives and is a welcome contribution to debates on the subject.”

The Pursuit of Stability of the Euro Area as a Whole: The Reform of the European Economic Union and Perspectives of Fiscal Integration by Luca Lionello
English | PDF | 2020 | 256 Pages | ISBN : 3030280446 | 3.3 MB

This book analyses the ongoing reform of the European economic union in the light of the new objective of ‘stability of the euro area as a whole’ in Article 136(3) TFEU. On the basis of the relevant legal sources, it qualifies this objective as the obligation to preserve the existence of the monetary union, the establishment of which was an EU goal laid down in Article 3(4) TEU.

Integration and Differentiation in the European Union: Theory and Policies

Integration and Differentiation in the European Union: Theory and Policies by Dirk Leuffen
English | EPUB | 2022 | 454 Pages | ISBN : 3030766764 | 1.7 MB

Far from displaying a uniform pattern, European integration varies significantly across policy areas and individual countries. Why do some policies, such as the Single Market, attract non-EU member states, while some member states choose to opt out of specific EU policies? Why are some policies deeply integrated, whereas others, such as defence, remain intergovernmental? In answering these questions, this innovative text provides a state-of-the-art introduction to the study of European integration.

Interest Groups and Experimentalist Governance in the EU: New Modes of Lobbying

Interest Groups and Experimentalist Governance in the EU: New Modes of Lobbying by Douwe Truijens
English | EPUB | 2021 | 251 Pages | ISBN : 3030646017 | 1.2 MB

Imaginative, smart, and thorough are the first words that come to mind when describing this magnificent book. Douwe Truijens successfully manages to link two scholarly fields on European decision-making procedures which thus far have developed in isolation, but as the case studies convincingly highlight, have so much to offer to each other. In an academic world slowly evolving into hyper-specialism, this book feels like a breath of fresh air.
