"Democracy" without a Demos? The Bosnian Constitutional Experiment and the Intentional Construction of Nonfunctioning States in East European Politics and Societies, Volume 19, Number 2, May , pp. 226-259 The social science literature on ethnically divided states is huge and varied, but suggestions for constitutional solutions are strangely uniform: "loose federations" of ethnically defined ministates, with minimal central authority that must act by consensus and thus cannot act at all on issues that are contested rather than consented. In Bosnia, the political system mandated by the international High Representative suffer the same structural flaws that were used to make the former Yugoslav federation and the Socialist Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina unworkable. Similarly nonviable systems were proposed in 1994 to 1995 for Croatia and in 1998 to 1999 for Kosovo and recently for Cyprus and for Iraq. This article analyzes the paradox of mandating consensus-based politics in ethnically divided states, inclusion in which does not have the consent of most members of at least one group. -------- Section A) The theory and practise of the federal states and multi-level systems of government Subsection 1.The theory of federation Shivdeep Singh Grewal A cosmopolitan Europe by constitutional means?

Dzintra Bungs 5 Introduction In a sense, this is a “historical” publication. It contains the results of a research project devoted to the question of the “new neighbours” on the eastern border of the newly enlarged EU. Furthermore, it refl ects a break in the research tradition of the Latvian Institute of International Affairs. Whereas earlier, since 1992, when the institute was established, research on security issues was funded by the international foundations and countries that had enjoyed prosperity and democracy since the end of the Second Word War, this year for the fi rst time the research project was funded by the Latvian government, mainly the Ministry of Defence with further support from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

    EUROPEAN DEMOCRACY IN ACTION EUROPEAN ELECTIONS: FIVE REFLECTIONS FOR DISCUSSION GAËTANE RICARD-NIHOUL JULY 2009 GAËTANE RICARD-NIHOUL IS SECRETARY GENERAL OF NOTRE EUROPE. SHE HOLDS A DEGREE IN POLITICAL SCIENCE AND PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF LIÈGE AND AN MPHIL AND A DPHIL IN EUROPEAN POLITICS AND SOCIETY FROM OXFORD UNIVERSITY. HER RESEARCH FOCUSED ON POLICY FORMATION IN THE EUROPEAN UNION, AND MORE PARTICULARLY ON EDUCATION POLICY. SHE IS THE AUTHOR OF SEVERAL STUDIES: « THE FRENCH ‘NO’ VOTE OF 29 MAY: UNDERSTANDING, ACTION » AND «THE REVISION OF THE EUROPEAN TREATIES: THE CONVENTIONMOMENT». EUROPEAN ELECTIONS: FIVE REFLECTIONS FOR DICUSSION - 1 1. Is abstention intractable? the progress made by this idea since 1998. But given the fall in turnout, we can only regret that once again the idea has not been put into practice. Average turnout across the EU for these elections of June 2009 was assessed at 43.2%. It was 45.5% in 2004 and 62% in 1979. The paradox Of course, the situation is not entirely gloomy. Participation increased in 8 of European elections persists: for 30 years participation has fallen with member states and remained stable in 7. But such increases or stability are each election, while in parallel the European Parliament’s competencies relative to 2004 figures which were somewhat low – or in certain cases very have grown significantly. The Parliament was already a major winner of the low. It is interesting to note the rising participation in two Scandinavian treaties of Maastricht, Nice and Amsterdam; if the Lisbon Treaty is ratified it countries where opinion has seemed increasingly favourable to European will become co-legislator, with the Council, in a large majority of the Union’s integration in recent years (59.52% against 47.89% in 2004 in Denmark; policy areas, and will have blocking power throughout the budget negotia- 43.8% against 37.85% in Sweden).
