The EMU debt crisis that emerged in 2010 has identified a group of Southern countries, especially Greece, Portugal, Spain and Italy, as low performers exhibiting several seriousmacroeconomic imbalances, and it has also highlighted that EU integration experiencedby Eastern European countries (especially the latter-comers to EU) was not accompanied by a rapid process of real convergence. Since then, the researchabout the effects of peripherality have regained a renewed interest toultimately ground better regional policy recommendations aimed at achieving asustained reduction of income per capita disparities across EU regions. In this new work, Pascariu and Duarte, along with an international group ofacclaimed scholars, delve into key challenges currently facing the EuropeanUnion. They investigate this central question: does the domestic market systemlead to the development of a center-periphery model, by highlight gaps, or doesit support the convergence process? Analyzing the effects of peripheralityacross the EU regions, a two-fold approach is used to deliver policyrecommendations grounded in economic theory, and of interest to other countriesand regions facing a process of integration.

Since the first fertilization of a human egg in the laboratory in 1968, scientific and technological breakthroughs have raised ethical dilemmas and generated policy controversies on both sides of the Atlantic. Embryo, stem cell, and cloning research have provoked impassioned political debate about their religious, moral, legal, and practical implications. National governments make rules that govern the creation, destruction, and use of embryos in the laboratory-but they do so in profoundly different ways.In Embryo Politics, Thomas Banchoff provides a comprehensive overview of political struggles aboutembryo research during four decades in four countries-the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and France. Banchoff's book, the first of its kind, demonstrates the impact of particular national histories and institutions on very different patterns of national governance. Over time, he argues, partisan debate and religious-secular polarization have come to overshadow ethical reflection and political deliberation on the moral status of the embryo and the promise of biomedical research. Only by recovering a robust and public ethical debate will we be able to govern revolutionary life-science technologies effectively and responsibly into the future.

The ongoing crisis in Europe has dramatic impact on the life in many Southern European cities: Unemployment, social deprivation, poverty, political instability, severe cuts in the welfare state budgets and a wide spread feeling of despair have eroded much of the social foundation of the cities. In this book, contributors from Spain, Greece, Portugal and Italy provide an insight into the complex interference between the different aspects of the crisis. They show that the recent urban crisis is not purely a result of the budgetary problems of the nation state (»austerity urbanism«) but needs to be seen as multiple contestations. The Crisis of the City is therefore understood as a result of a changing nation state, cultural diversity, challenged urban planning and politics and a globalized economy. »Eine wichtige Bereicherung der stadtsoziologischen Debatte um die europäische Stadt.« Detlef Baum, www.socialnet.de, 21.03.2016 Besprochen in: Portal für Politikwissenschaft, 11.02.2016, Matthias Lemke Stadt und Raum, 1 (2016)

Building open government is a challenge shared by all countries. Transparency and accountability in public administration are enhanced by strong public scrutiny based on solid legal provisions for access to information. Investing in consultation and public participation allows governments to tap new sources of policy-relevant ideas, information and resources when making decisions. These efforts, in turn, contribute to building public trust in government, meeting the expectations of civil society, and strengthening civic capacity.
