  • Independence Movements in the EU? How Separatism Takes Over and Endangers Europe As a Peace Concept 1
    3 / 2019 & Sabine Riedel Independence Movements in the EU? How Separatism Takes over and Endangers Europe as a Peace Concept 1 Separatist movements exist worldwide, often due to conflicts over power and resources. If this phe- nomenon also affects the European Union, all politicians should sound the alarm bells. The EU is a peace project based on an ever-closer cooperation between its members. However, regional parties, which are currently striving for independence, seek a conflict, for the central question is not whether the regions have a right to secession, but whether the EU members will recognise them as states. Since a territorial secession violates the constitutional order against the will of the nation states concerned, the circle of supporters is likely to remain small. Therefore, the separatist parties demand majority decisions from supranational bodies. In this way they want to solve another problem, namely that their regions remain in the EU as full members. The pro-European image cultivated by many separatist parties is therefore a strategic calculation for the realisation of their vision of a ‘Europe of all peoples’, by which they mean though ethnic and cultural units and not the national peoples of the EU. This redefinition of the concept of nation, however, endangers member states’ stability and thus European integration. Independence movements are social forces that independence movements. In fact, the 193 mem- want to separate a regional unit from a certain ber states of the United Nations (UN) decide state territory. Scholars speak of separatism, within the international legal framework whether which can have different goals.

  • Italy and France Katharina Crepaz
    Journal on Ethnopolitics and Minority Issues in Europe Vol 13, No 3, 2014, 73-93 Copyright © ECMI 2014 This article is located at: http://www.ecmi.de/fileadmin/downloads/publications/JEMIE/2014/Crepaz.pdf The Impact of Europeanization on Minority Communities in “Old” Member States: Italy and France Katharina Crepaz* University of Innsbruck The impact of Europeanization processes on minority protection is well researched regarding “new” member states, with the way that EU conditionality influenced minority politics during the accession phase being the most prominent topic. However, Europeanization processes in “old” EU countries have not been the focus of scholarly attention. When looking at the actual development of Europeanization, the “download” component (streams of influence from the European to the national and sub-national level) is stressed, while “upload” components (ideas and claims taken from the sub-national to the supra-national sphere) are often neglected. This paper aims to address both issues, by looking at the impact of Europeanization processes on minority communities in two “old” member states (the German-speaking minority in South Tyrol/Italy and the Breton minority in France) and taking on a process-oriented view of Europeanization, focusing on “bottom-up” developments. The data drawn from structured interviews with both representatives of minority communities and European Commission officials shows that the minorities’ different positions and degrees of protection lead to different goals and aims, which are expressed through diverse channels and strengths of “upload” and “download” processes. Keywords: minority protection; Europeanization; “download” and “upload” processes; civil society Minority protection and minority rights only came into the European Union (EU)’s focus after the downfall of communism, and after the Balkan wars had shown the devastating power of ethnic conflict.

With a history that includes two world wars, the creation of the European Union, in addition the the notable action of decolonization on the part of France, particularly in Indo-China and Algeria, there have been evident increases in immigration into France in recent history. These actions have forced France, as a nation, to question what its identity really is, particularly in terms of its cultural identity. In addition to these immigrants who may arrive from former French colonies, however, there are those individual cultures that have existed within France’s own borders for centuries.

    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-88765-6 - Party Competition between Unequals: Strategies and Electoral Fortunes in Western Europe Bonnie M. Meguid Frontmatter More information Party Competition between Unequals Why do some political parties flourish while others flounder? In this book, Bonnie M. Meguid examines variation in the electoral trajectories of the new set of single-issue parties: green, radical right, and ethnoterritorial parties. Instead of being dictated by electoral institutions or the socio-economic climate, as the dominant theories contend, the fortunes of these niche parties, she argues, are shaped by the strategic responses of mainstream parties. She advances a new theory of party competition in which mainstream parties facing unequal competitors have access to a wider and more effective set of strategies than posited by standard spatial models. Combin- ing statistical analyses with in-depth case studies from Western Europe, the book explores how and why established parties undermine niche parties or turn them into weapons against their mainstream party opponents. This study of competition between unequals thus provides broader insights into the nature and outcome of competition between political equals. Bonnie M. Meguid is an assistant professor of political science at the University of Rochester. Her research on party competition has been published in The American Political Science Review. Her research has been funded by grants from the National Science Foundation and the Krupp Foundation, and her doctoral dissertation was awarded the Samuel H. Beer Prize for Best PhD Dissertation on British Politics by the British Politics Group. © Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-88765-6 - Party Competition between Unequals: Strategies and Electoral Fortunes in Western Europe Bonnie M.

  • Still Two Tiers of Ethnic Conflict? Implications for the Evolution of a European Identity and Polity
    Still Two Tiers of Ethnic Conflict? Implications for the Evolution of a European Identity and Polity Anthony M. Messina Department of Political Science University of Notre Dame Notre Dame, IN 46556 [email protected] Paper presented to the conference “European Identities? Regionalism, Nationalism, and Religion,” University of Notre Dame London Centre, October 17-18, 2008 0 “The way identity bears on European integration depends on how it is framed, and it is framed in domestic political conflict.” (Hooghe and Marks 2008: 120) “Giving up one’s loyalty to the nation is not required for a European demos. But we know little about those social and political contexts in which European and national identities might actually clash.” (Risse 2004: 271) 1 Introduction In an article published more than a decade a half ago I argued that the recent escalation of tensions between the “new” minority and so-called “native” populations had resulted in two distinct but interactive tiers of ethnic conflict in Western Europe (Messina 1992). On the first tier, I asserted, the aspirations, material interests, and often the cultural identities of Western Europe’s new ethnic and racial minorities are in conflict with those of the domestic majority population. On the second tier, the aspirations, interests, and identities of the new minorities collide with not only those of the majority population, or significant fractions thereof, but also directly or indirectly with those of the traditional minority groups. Although the latter had emerged too recently to discern a universal pattern of interaction between the two tiers, I nevertheless offered three observations inspired by evidence drawn from several country cases.

Keohane __________________________ Gary Marks __________________________ Steven Wilkinson An abstract of a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Political Science in the Graduate School of Duke University 2006 Abstract As European countries continue along their path to a deeper and wider Union, the prospect of state fragmentation threatens the traditional boundaries of Europe. But the current literature neglects an important theoretical and empirical question: does European integration increase sub-national mobilization within European Union member states? With the first truly comparative, cross-national quantitative study of the incidence and electoral success of regional political parties, I show that European integration makes regional political parties more likely to compete in national parliamentary elections. Once they enter competition, European integration makes these parties more attractive to voters. The implicit assumption among most scholars that European integration has no effect is, therefore, unjustified and unwarranted.
