With no disrespect to Malta and Cyprus, it is probably fair to say that most attention was paid to the accession of eight member states from Central and Eastern Europe, with two others (Bulgaria and Romania) hoping to accede in the near future. This is also the focus of this volume. While we are aware of (and are ourselves involved in) longer-term scholarly projects describing and evaluating the effects of this enlargement, our intention here was to present an interim, short- to mid-term analysis of the enlargement’s effects exactly one year after the formal day of accession. To this end we asked a number of scholars in law, political science and (to a lesser degree) economics, many of whom are affiliated with the European University Institute (EUI) in Florence, but also coming from the new Member States, to draw up a report card of the 2004 enlargement in the areas of their competence. The papers commissioned were then discussed at a workshop convened at the EUI on 29– 30 April 2005, and the chapters included in this volume reflect more refined versions of the original papers, rewritten as a result of the workshop discussions. This is not the first time the EUI has taken an interest in this EU enlargement. It has been one of the top research priorities both of the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies and of the four Departments of the Institute. Two of the three co-editors of the volume (and convenors of the workshop) have been involved in related projects, and the workshop held in April 2005 followed two other successful workshops held at the European University Institute which also resulted in publications: ‘Europeanisation of Constitutional Law in the Light of the Constitution for Europe’ convened by Jacques Ziller in May 2003 (J. Ziller [ed.], L’européanisation des droits constitutionnels à la lumière de la constitution pour l’Europe – The Europeanisation of Constitutional Law in the Light of the Constitution for Europe, Paris: L’Harmattan, 2003), and ‘Implications of Enlargement for the Rule of Law and Constitutionalism in Post-communist Legal Orders’ convened by Wojciech Sadurski in November 2003 (W. Sadurski, A. Czarnota and M. Krygier [eds], Spreading Democracy and the Rule of Law? The Impact of EU Enlargement on the Rule of Law, Democracy and Constitutionalism in Post-Communist Legal Orders, Dordrecht: Springer Scientific, forthcoming 2006). © 2006 EUI-RSCAS, editors & contributors ix This volume can be seen as bringing the two threads of these earlier projects together: the Europeanisation approach represented in the former workshop, and the democratisation-impact approach represented by the latter, to study the immediate effects of accession, and to try to project more medium- and long-term trends

  • Flexibility Within the Lisbon Treaty: Trademark Or Empty Promise?
    EIPASCOPE 2008/1 Flexibility within the Lisbon Treaty Flexibility within the Lisbon Treaty: Trademark or Empty Promise? By Funda Tekin and Prof. Dr Wolfgang Wessels1 The concept of flexibility in the European integration process has been discussed in different ways since the 1970s. Some forms may be “upwardly oriented”, representing a driving force rather than a brake on the integration process. Others may weaken integration and have a “downsizing” effect. “Enhanced cooperation”, which was first introduced by the Amsterdam Treaty, aims to provide an attractive alternative to intergovernmental cooperation outside the treaty, and to allow a group of Member States to deepen integration in particular areas without 25 affecting either the interests of others or the overall construction of European integration. The Lisbon Treaty introduces changes at all stages of the cycle: preparatory stage, initiation, authorisation, implementation, accession and termination. The conditions for enhanced cooperation remain restrictive and other forms of flexibility may seem more attractive. Consequently the prospect is for flexibility to be an empty promise rather than a trademark of the new Treaty. Introduction ○○○○○○○○○○○ flexibility are analysed in the light of the decision-making dilemma in which procedures are revised between a The idea of flexibility in the integration process has long sovereignty-led veto reflex and a functional drive for efficiency been the subject of European debate.

The question, however, remains as to what extent this report- ed scepticism truly reflects people’s opinions and feelings about Europe. We all consider it normal to cross borders within Europe, often while using the same money, as well as to take part in exchange programmes, invest in enterprises across Europe and appeal to European institutions if national regulations, for example, do not meet our expectations.

The Consensual Political Cultures of the Small West European States in Comparative and Historical Perspective" reserves a particular place for Austria and Finland because "[…] these cases suggest that the communication capacity conditional for consensualism can emerge within only a few decades." (Annex to the contract: 3). As opposed to the other project countries, the project proposal assumes that the two are the discontinuity cases whose historical paths didn't seem to point towards consensualism. In the words of Peter Katzenstein, "[…] the Austrian train was at every branch switched in a direction opposite from the other small European states." (1985: 188).

    fifteen into one art 19/11/2002 9:14 am Page 1 EPRU Fifteen into one European Series Fifteen into one? Policy The European Union and its member states Research Unit Series The European Union and the roles of member states is one of the major topics of political debate and academic discourse. The evolution of the political system in Brussels and the developments within the individual member states promise new insights into the European integration process. This book provides a country-by- Fifteen country analysis of how European policy is made and applied in the member states. Its central focus is the involvement of national institutions in European policy-making: governments, parliaments, sub-national governments, the courts and public administrations. Who participates at which stages of the European Union’s policy cycle and how do national institutions and non-state actors interact into one? and fit into the Union’s system? The contributors show how member states have adapted their institutional structures in different ways to European integration, especially since the Maastricht The European Treaty. The editors argue that the extent and intensity of institutional interaction between the EU and its member states have led to a ‘system of institutional fusion’. Wessels, Maurer & Mittag Maurer Wessels, This timely book is the most comprehensive study yet of European policy-making Union and its at the national level and is aimed at scholars of integration studies and comparative politics.

Liberal principles—political ideas that espouse the importance of individual liberties, minority rights, and the separation of power across levers of government—and democratic institutions—processes that translate popular will into public policy through legitimate elections—are being pulled apart. The emergence of illiberal states within the European Union and NATO presents a challenge to Western collective action in an era of great power competition. This report analyzes the illiberal toolkit—a set of tools, tactics, and practices used by forces in power to roll back checks and balances. In particular, illiberal leaders and political parties are threatening democracy by targeting judicial oversight, pluralistic and fair political systems, independent media, and open civil society. The report features case studies on Turkey, Hungary, and Poland, as their democratic rеcession has drawn the most attention and concern. It also considers Slovakia and the Czech Republic, two states that are exhibiting warning signs. The report offers recommendations for policymakers and other actors in Europe and the United States to secure and re-energize democratic institutions and norms in the trans-Atlantic space.
