  • The European Council in Theoretical Perspectives: the Principals on a Fusion Path
    The European Council in Theoretical Perspectives: The Principals on a Fusion Path Wolfgang Wessels and Verena Schäfer Jean Monnet Chair, University of Cologne [email protected] [email protected] Paper presented at the Tenth Biennial Conference of the European Studies Association Montreal, 17-19 May 2007 Panel: “Power and Negotiation in the European Council” 1 Abstract: Since its creation in the 1970s no other institution has formed the European Union so intensively and continuously like the European Council. This “key institution” of the European Union takes nearly all major decisions for the EU and the institutional architecture and has also an academic value as a key body for testing integration related theories. This paper invites to take up and discuss a broad variety of competing classic theories (realism and intergovernmentalism, federalism, neo-functionalism) and theoretical approaches (constructivism, sociological institutionalism and fusion thesis) to characterize and explain fundamental features of the European Council. By mapping this indefinable “locus of power” in a conceptual ream this paper may also contribute to improve the understanding of the evolution of the EU system in general. 2 I. Introduction: the European Council as key institution and key variable Summits are in general fascinating: With epoch making decisions they are supposed to shape the course of history or at least to mark fundamental shift und tectonic junctures. Regular summits are a relatively new phenomenon. With the seventies they started to become frequent events in both bi-lateral and multilateral compositions. Undoubtedly we observe an inflationary trend of meetings on the highest level.

  • MONTEUS Dossier EU-Turkey Relations
    MONTEUS Dossier EU-Turkey Relations (Winter Term 2017/2018) Content • Background knowledge: EU-Turkey relations and EU-Turkey summits • List of Literature Jean Monnet Chair for Turkey and European Union Studies’ Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Wessels (2016-2019) 1 www.ceteus.uni-koeln.de Background knowledge: EU-Turkey relations Turkey has been a candidate country for EU membership since 1999, along with the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (2005), Montenegro (2010), Serbia (2012) and Albania (2014). Turkey’s aspirations to join the European Community are however much older and stand for long, yet troubled relations with the EU. In a historic perspective, this follows the similarly close but unsteady relations of Turkey and the Ottoman Empire with today’s EU member countries in earlier centuries. The Beginning of EU-Turkey relations Turkey’s official application for membership of the European Economic Community marks the beginning of formalized and close relations between Turkey and the Community in 1959. While today, in 2017, recent relations are under close scrutiny due to the latest developments within both the EU and Turkey, the picture of Turkey as a possible member state was far more positive at the early stage of the European Communities (see Document 1). Document 1: Speech of Walter Hallstein 1963 in Ankara Walter Hallstein 12 September 1963, Ankara […] Turkey is part of Europe. That is really the ultimate meaning of what we are doing today. It confirms in incomparably topical form a truth which is more than the summary expression of a geographical concept or of a historical fact that holds good for several countries.

  • The Politics of the EU Purse: Mastering the Multi-Annual Financial Framework
    EXECUTIVE TRAINING SEMINAR SCHOOL OF TRANSNATIONAL GOVERNANCE AND CENTRE FOR EUROPEAN POLICY STUDIES THE POLITICS OF THE EU PURSE: MASTERING THE MULTI- ANNUAL FINANCIAL FRAMEWORK Course Coordinators: Cinzia Alcidi | Centre for European Policy Studies Wolfgang Wessels | School of Transnational Governance, EUI and University of Cologne Venue: Centre for European Policy Studies, 1 Place du Congres, 1000 Brussels 23- 24 JUNE 2020 COURSE DESCRIPTION What will be the focus? This Executive Training focuses on the financial framework of the European Union (EU). The deal for the new long-term budget 2021-2017 is still under discussion, while severe differences remain between the countries that are net contributors and those that are net recipients of EU funds. One issue of consideration is how the new EU budget will be allocated across the numerous policy areas. Another question is whether the EU member states will decide to raise the budget above 1 percent of the EU’s combined gross national income; a threshold that perhaps comprises a severe impediment for the Union to achieve ambitious goals on issues ranging from climate change to digital transformation. Given the current limitations and challenges concerning the formulation of the new budget, this training seminar will elaborate on the strategic role that member states and parliaments of all levels play and work on avenues for insight and influence in the ongoing negotiations on the new Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) 2021-2027. Participants will upgrade their strategic knowledge on the EU’s multi-level and multi-actor playing field, develop key skills in EU monitoring and share best practices regarding these critical negotiations in a year that is critical for the EU’s future.

  • Fifteen Into One?
    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.

Turkey is in future likely to remain, despite political tensions, an important country for the EU in economic, political and geostrategic terms. On the one hand, recent developments affecting the EU have mo- tivated the Heads of State or Government to rediscover Turkey‘s relevance as ‚key stra- tegic partner‘. On the other hand, prospects of Turkey‘s accession to the EU have rea- ched an all-time low in the light of Turkey distancing itself from the political accession criterion as well as the multiple internal crises the EU has been confronted with. This renders EU-Turkey relations a highly topical issue for academic research. The Centre for Turkey and European Union Studies (CETEUS) aims at providing a frame- work for publications dealing with Turkey, the European Union as well as EU/German- Turkish relations regarding multiple thematic dimensions as well as geographic con- texts including the neighbourhood and the global scene.

  • Mapping Periods and Milestones of Past EU-Turkey Relations
    September 2016 FEUTURE Working Paper Mapping milestones and periods of past EU-Turkey relations Hanna-Lisa Hauge, University of Cologne Atila Eralp, METU Wolfgang Wessels, University of Cologne Nurdan Selay Bedir, METU Working Paper “Mapping milestones and periods of past EU-Turkey relations” Abstract This Working Paper aims to embed FEUTURE’s analysis of drivers of EU-Turkey relations in a historical context. It does so by outlining and discussing several narratives which represent influential interpretations of EU-Turkey relations at different times in history. It is argued that narratives on EU- Turkey relations became increasingly competitive in the course of time, both within EU and Turkey as well as between them. The paper maps these changes of narratives in light of different historical milestones and phases. The periodization also serves to outline trends of conflict, cooperation and convergence as manifested in the political discourse. Thereby, the paper also serves as starting point for the ensuing qualitative analysis of a vast set of sources, representing the debates in Turkey and the EU. Bu çalışma FEUTURE projesinin AB-Türkiye ilişkilerinin belirleyici faktörlerini analiz eden araştırmasını tarihi bağlama oturtmayı amaçlar. AB-Türkiye ilişkileri hakkında farklı dönemlerde yapılmış olan etkili yorumlamaları çeşitli anlatılar olarak ele alır, özetler ve tartışır. Söz konusu anlatıların zamanla hem AB ve Türkiye içinde hem de aralarında bulunan ilişkide gittikçe rekabetçi bir hâl aldıkları öne sürmektedir. Çalışma anlatılar kapsamında vuku bulan değişimleri tarihi dönüm noktalarının ve evrelerin ışığında aydınlatmayı tasarlamaktadır. Elde edilen periyodizasyon aynı zamanda siyasi söylemden yola çıkarak çatışma, işbirliği ve yakınlaşma trendlerini belirlemeğe yardımcı olur. Böylelikle, bu çalışma Türkiye ve AB’deki tartışmaları temsil eden geniş bir dizi kaynakların nitel analizinin başlangıç noktasıdır.
