Towardsthe Completion of Europe
This volume aims to contribute to the analysis of the EU in general the Completion of Europe Towards and the background and consequences of its 2004 enlargement in particular. This enlargement is by far one of the greatest tests Towards the Completion for the European Union and its institutions because the process of Europeanization is taking place in a variety of countries with diverse political cultures and dissimilar perceptions about the of Europe meaning and commitment to European integration. Given their differences in political and economic power, incumbent and new members are inevitably altering the functioning and character of the EU, a unique polity in the international system. Derived from this theoretical challenge, the chapters of this book suggest some explanations on six areas related to the 2004 enlargement: analyti- cal approaches, citizens and identities, debates and regional trans- formations, external impacts, and the potential Turkey’s member- ship. The articles included in this publication are the result of the academic initiative of the Miami European Union Center, partner- ship formed by the University of Miami and Florida International University since 2000, which was also selected by the European Commission as one of the ten European Union Centers of Excel- lence in the United States for the period 2005|2008.

Problems and Possibilities of National Cultural Autonomy in Canadian Journal of Political Science--Revue canadienne de science politique, Volume 42 - Issue 01 - March , 1-16 science, especially in the guise of national cultural autonomy. National cultural autonomy is a model of self-government that was pioneered by Austrian theorists and politicians Karl Renner and Otto Bauer in the waning days of the Habsburg Empire, yet was never implemented in Austria–Hungary. This paper will examine some of the problems and possibilities that may attend a transfer of national cultural autonomy as a model of self-government into Canadian political discourse, especially as regards Quebec nationalism, Francophone communities outside Quebec, Anglophone Quebecers, self-government for Aboriginal peoples, and political values in English-speaking Canada. Résumé. Au cours des dernières décennies, les formes non territoriales d'autonomie gouvernementale nationale ont fait l'objet d'un intérêt croissant en science politique, en particulier le concept de l'autonomie culturelle nationale. L'autonomie culturelle nationale est un modèle autonomiste développé par les théoriciens et politiciens autrichiens Karl Renner et Otto Bauer lors du déclin de l'Empire habsbourgeois, mais qui ne fut jamais mis en place dans l'Empire austro-hongrois. -
Appendix I the European Economic Area

In January 1994 the Treaty between the Community and its member states on the one part and the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) states of Iceland, Liechtensteinl, Norway, Austria, Finland and Sweden on the other establishing the European Economic Area (EEA) entered into force2• With the accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden to the European Union in January 1995 changes to the EEA Treaty will be neces• sary but are, at the time of writing, still awaiting agreement. Since Switzerland, the seventh EFTAstate, opted to stay out of the EEA,in what follows 'EFTAstates' refers to those EFTAstates party to the EEATreaty. 2. The purpose and nature of the EEA.The purpose of the EEAis 'to promote a continuous and balanced strengthening of trade and economic relations between the Contracting Parties with equal conditions of competition, and the respect of the same rules, with a view to creating a homogenous European EconomicArea ... '4. The EEA is not otherwise defined in the Treaty, and its nature is difficult to define. It is a sophisticated free trade area, but includes also provisions on free movement of persons, services and capital, with a view to economic integration less profound than that of the Community but deeper than that of the EFTA.Its institutions are not competent to legislate in the same way as the Community institutions under the ECTreaty. The EEATreaty implies no cession of sovereignty. 3. The institutions of the EEA.The EEATreaty creates an EEACouncil, an EEA Joint Committee, an EEA Parliamentary Committee and an EEA Consultative Committee. -
Brexit and Beyond – Rethinking the Futures of Europe
BREXIT AND BEYOND ‘Brexit and Beyond is a must read. It moves the ongoing debate about what Brexit actually means to a whole new level… it provides a much-needed scholarly guidepost for our understanding of the significance of Brexit, not only for the United Kingdom, but also for the future of the European continent.’ Catherine E. De Vries, Professor in the Department of Government, University of Essex and Professor in the Department of Political Science and Public Administration, Free University Amsterdam BREXIT ‘Brexit and Beyond provides a fascinating (and comprehensive) analysis on how and why the UK has found itself on the path to exiting the European Union….The volume also provides large amounts of expert-informed speculation on the future of both the EU and UK which is both stimulating and anxiety-inducing.’ AND Richard Whitman, Professor of Politics and International Relations, University of Kent and Director of the Global Europe Centre ‘This book explores wonderfully well the bombshell of Brexit…the collection of essays by leading scholars will prove a very valuable reference for their depth of analysis, their lucidity, and their outlining of future options.’ BEYOND Kevin Featherstone, Head of the LSE European Institute Rethinking the Brexit will have significant consequences not just for the UK, but for Europe, the European Union, and for global order. Drawing on the expertise of 28 leading scholars, Brexit and Beyond offers and by Edited Futures of Europe an explicitly regional and future-oriented perspective missing from many existing analyses. It charts the significance and likely effects of Brexit across a range of areas, including institutional Uta Staiger relations, political economy, law and justice, foreign affairs, democratic governance, and the idea of Europe itself. -

DIRECTORATE GENERAL FOR INTERNAL POLICIES POLICY DEPARTMENT A: ECONOMIC AND SCIENTIFIC POLICY Review of EU-Third Country Cooperation on Policies Falling within the ITRE Domain in Relation to Brexit STUDY Abstract This study was prepared at the request of the European Parliament’s Committee on Industry, Research and Energy (ITRE). It provides a critical assessment of the implications of existing models of cooperation of third countries with the European Union in each of four thematic areas for which the ITRE is responsible (energy, electronic communications, research policy, and small business policy.
