They long to know what the decision-makers are thinking, so they can plan ahead. They yearn to be in the loop, to have the drop on things. It is the genius of the lobbyists and the consultants to understand this need, and to satisfy it in the most imaginative way. Business forums are vehicles for forging links and maintain a dialogue with business, industrial and trade organisations. They allow the discussions of general and pre-legislative issues in a different context from lobbying contacts about specific matters. They provide an opportunity to get Members of the European Parliament and other decision-makers from the European institutions together with various business sectors. -

TOBACCO CONTROL POLICY in the NETHERLANDS Between Economy, Public Health, and Ideology
TOBACCO CONTROL POLICY IN THE NETHERLANDS Between Economy, Public Health, and Ideology Marc C. Willemsen Palgrave Studies in Public Health Policy Research Series Editors Patrick Fafard University of Ottawa Ottawa, ON, Canada Evelyne de Leeuw University of New South Wales Australia Liverpool, NSW, Australia Public health has increasingly cast the net wider. The field has moved on from a hygiene perspective and infectious and occupational disease base (where it was born in the 19th century) to a concern for unhealthy life- styles post-WWII, and more recently to the uneven distribution of health and its (re)sources. It is of course interesting that these ‘paradigms’ in many places around the world live right next to each other. Hygiene, life- styles, and health equity form the complex (indeed, wicked) policy agen- das for health and social/sustainable development. All of these, it is now recognized, are part of the ‘social determinants of health’. The broad new public health agenda, with its multitude of competing issues, professions, and perspectives requires a much more sophisticated understanding of government and the policy process. In effect, there is a growing recognition of the extent to which the public health community writ large needs to better understand government and move beyond what has traditionally been a certain naiveté about politics and the process of policy making. Public health scholars and practitioners have embraced this need to understand, and influence, how governments at all levels make policy choices and decisions. Political scientists and international relations scholars and practitioners are engaging in the growing public health agenda as it forms an interesting expanse of glocal policy development and implementation. -

The Netherlands in the EU: from the Centre to the Margins?
Adriaan Schout and Jan Marinus Wiersma The Netherlands in the EU: From the Centre to the Margins? 1. From internal market narrative to a narrative of uncertainties In this post-2008 era of European integration, every year seems to have specific – and fundamental – European challenges. For the Netherlands, 2012 was a year in which it was highly uncertain how the Dutch would vote.1 The rather populist anti-EU party of Geert Wilders (PVV-Freedom Party) had proclaimed that the elections would be about and against the European Union. This strategy did not pay off as people voted for stability, also regarding the EU. However, existential doubts about European integration and the euro have persisted and even increased as the emergence of a referendum movement in early 2013 has shown. Although the number of signatures supporting the idea to consider a referendum about the future of the EU rose to close to 60.000 in a couple of months, anti-EU feelings have found less support than one could have expected on the basis of opinion polls. Nevertheless, a strong and persistent doubt about the EU seems evident in the Netherlands even though it has a fairly low level of priority in daily policy debates. For once because there are few real EU issues on the agenda and, secondly, because discussions on, for instance, Treaty changes or the meaning of a ‘political union’ are being downplayed. Pew Research2 showed that 39% of the Dutch would like to leave the EU and Eurobarometer indicates a drop in public support from 60% in 2012 to 45% in 2013. -

Beyond the Deadlock? Perspectives on Future EU Enlargement

Box 93080 2509 AB The Hague Phone: + 31-70-3141950 Telefax: + 31-70-3141960 Email: [email protected] Website: www.clingendael.nl © Clingendael Institute Note of the Editors The Netherlands Institute for International Relations Clingendael hosted a one-day seminar on the future of EU enlargement on the 29th of November 2011. The event was chaired by Joost Lagendijk, Senior Advisor Istanbul Policy Center, and Jan Marinus Wiersma, Senior Visiting Fellow Clingendael. As the title of the conference – Beyond the deadlock? Perspectives on future EU enlargement – indicates, the debate concentrated on the differences between the accession rounds of 2004 and 2007 en the one that is now under way. Both the EU and the (potential) candidate countries operate in a different context that is marked by a much stricter conditionality of the EU which has a negative impact on the speed of the enlargement process. The countries in question, with the possible exception of Iceland, are confronted with internal opposition to the EU, sometimes show a lack of reform mindedness and have difficulty coping with political obstacles like the Cyprus issue in the case of Turkey or the Kosovo question. The agenda of the seminar consisted of three main topics: lessons learned from past accessions, the cases of Turkey and Macedonia, and the future of enlargement. They are being dealt with in this publication from different angles. -

Joustra (1921-1996) Arendo Joustra, Het hof van Brussel of hoe Europa Nederland overneemt 6 ‘Het hele recht, het hele idee van een eenwordend Europa, wordt gedragen door een leger mensen dat op zoek is naar een volgende bestemming, die het blijkbaar niet in zichzelf heeft kunnen vinden, of in de liefde. Het leger offert zich moedwillig op aan dit traagkruipende monster zonder zich af te vragen waar het vandaan komt, en nog wezenlijker, of het wel bestaat.’ Oscar van den Boogaard, Fremdkörper (1991) Arendo Joustra, Het hof van Brussel of hoe Europa Nederland overneemt 9 Inleiding - Aan het hof van Brussel Het verhaal over de Europese Unie begint in Brussel. Want de hoofdstad van België is tevens de zetel van de voornaamste Europese instellingen. Feitelijk is Brussel de ongekroonde hoofdstad van de Europese superstaat. Hier komt de wetgeving vandaan waaraan in de vijftien lidstaten van de Europese Unie niets meer kan worden veranderd. Dat is wennen voor de nationale hoofdsteden en regeringscentra als het Binnenhof in Den Haag. Het spel om de macht speelt zich immers niet langer uitsluitend af in de vertrouwde omgeving van de Ridderzaal. Het is verschoven naar Brussel. Vrijwel ongemerkt hebben diplomaten en Europese functionarissen de macht op het Binnenhof veroverd en besturen zij in alle stilte, ongezien en ongecontroleerd, vanuit Brussel de ‘deelstaat’ Nederland. -
