Abstract

Het fundamentalisme is de ziekte van de islam. Net als onverdraagzaamheid de ziekte van het katholicisme was en het nazisme die van Duitsland. Maar de islam valt niet samen met zijn ziekte. Er zijn ook islamitische 'vrijdenkers' – dichters, mystici, filosofen en wetenschappers – die in de loop van de geschiedenis het veld hebben moeten ruimen voor fanatici en dogmatische schriftgeleerden. Sinds de Europese Verlichting voelt 'de moslim' zich van zijn troon gestoten en is hij een wrokkig mens geworden. Daarvoor wijst Meddeb zowel interne als externe oorzaken aan. Bijvoorbeeld de opkomst van een grote klasse 'half-geletterden' in het Midden-Oosten, maar ook de Amerikanisering van de wereld. Hij roept moslims op tot zelfkritiek en een pluriforme interpretatie van de Koran. (Bron: covertekst)

Abstract

One of the most striking developments in recent international politics has been the significant increase in security cooperation among European Union states. Seth Jones argues that this increase in cooperation, in areas such as economic sanctions, weapons production and collaboration among military forces, has occurred because of the changing structure of the international and regional systems. Since the end of the Cold War, the international system has shifted from a bipolar to a unipolar structure characterized by United States dominance. This has caused EU states to cooperate in the security realm to increase their ability to project power abroad and to decrease reliance on the US. Furthermore, European leaders in the early 1990s adopted a 'binding' strategy to ensure long-term peace on the continent, suggesting that security cooperation is caused by a desire to preserve peace in Europe whilst building power abroad.

Abstract

A critical issue in dealing with climate change is deciding who has a right to emit carbon dioxide. Originally published in 2007, Allocation in the European Emissions Trading Scheme provided the first in-depth description and analysis of the process by which rights to emit carbon dioxide were created and distributed in the European Union. This was the world's first large-scale experiment with an emission trading system for carbon dioxide and was likely to be copied by others if there was to be a global regime for limiting greenhouse gas emissions. The book comprises contributions from those responsible for putting the allocation into practice in ten representative member states and at the European Commission. The problems encountered in this process, the solutions found, and the choices they made, will be of interest to all who are concerned with climate policy and the use of emissions trading to combat climate change.

Abstract

This distinctive textbook combines comprehensive coverage of the key policy areas of the European Union with analysis of individual countries, including the recent accession countries and Turkey. Part I analyzes the economic bases for the rise of the European Union from its origins in the post-World War II recovery to its historic enlargement in 2004. Part II takes up the different nation-state perspectives on the EU's economic policies by looking in turn at all European countries, whether members of the EU or not. The book is unique in providing both an EU perspective and European nation-state perspective on the major policy issues which have arisen since the end of World War II, as well as putting the economic analysis into an historical narrative which emphasizes the responses of policy-makers to external shocks such as the Cold War, the oil shocks, German reunification, and the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Abstract

In dit boek staan de definitie van democratie en het proces van de democratisering in België centraal. Zeven wetenschappers verdiepen zich elk vanuit hun eigen discipline in dit proces. Zowel politieke, sociaaleconomische, culturele als filosofische benaderingen en visies komen aan bod. In die interdisciplinaire aanpak schuilt ongetwijfeld de meerwaarde van dit boek. Een eerste artikel van Mark Van den Wijngaert biedt een vlot historisch overzicht van de politieke democratisering. Daarna volgen geslaagde essays van onder meer Stijn Van de Perre over de democratisering van de cultuur in België en van Karen Celis over de moeilijke weg die vrouwen hebben moeten afleggen om hun plaats op te eisen binnen de democratie. Ten slotte formuleert Tim Heysse enkele gedachten over de kwetsbaarheid van de democratie, een thema dat een constante vormt in de hele bundel: democratie is onzeker, omdat ze nooit af is. Van dit moeilijke maar waardevolle proces, wordt hier een erg overzichtelijk, helder en veelzijdig beeld gegeven. De essays worden ondersteund met voetnoten en bibliografieën per bijdrageRedactie Vlabin-VBC

Abstract

The Powers of the Union develops and tests a new theory of centralization and bureaucratization in the European Union. Using original data spanning five decades and a multi-method approach, Franchino argues that most EU laws rely extensively on national administrations for policy implementation and provide for ample national discretionary authority, while limiting tightly the involvement of the European Commission. However, when Council ministers do not share the same policy objectives, some have the incentive to limit national executive discretion and to rely more on the Commission. Majority voting facilitates this outcome, but the limited policy expertise of supranational bureaucrats and their biased views impede extensive supranational delegation. Finally, the European Parliament systematically attempts to limit national discretion, especially when its views differ from ministerial opinions, and tries to increase the Commission's policy autonomy. The book contributes towards understanding political-bureaucratic relations and evaluates the implications for EU democracy and subsidiarity.

Abstract

The European Union and European identity were until recently the objects of separate branches of scholarship and inquiry. With the entry of Central and Eastern European members into the EU, it has become clear that the future of the European Union can no longer be considered in isolation from the future of European identity. Taking Jürgen Habermas's plea for a European constitution and a normative foundation for the European Union as its starting point, this volume brings together the ideas of distinguished scholars in philosophy, political science, sociology, history, law and theology in order to address the shifting relationship between constitutionality, political culture, history and collective identity. The book argues that the future shape of Europe will not only result from external processes of globalisation but from the interaction between these social spheres within Europe.

Abstract

Where is Europe going? In this 2007 collection, several prominent European economists offer essays on the five big challenges to the development of the European Union (EU). Namely, the new European Constitution, European finances and the euro, the need to boost economic growth, competition in both new member states and countries further to the East, and the goal of forming a cooperative and productive relationship with countries on the European periphery. The book includes essays by Charles Wyplosz, who argues that enlargement and deepening are not substitutes but complements; Vito Tanzi who questions the Keynesian foundation of the Growth and Stability Pact; Daniel Gros, who criticises the achievements within the Lisbon Agenda, as well as essays by Anders Aslund, who claims that Russian and Ukrainian oligarchs differ little from US 'robber barons'. The final two chapters discuss the EU's European Neighbourhood Policy and long-term economic integration in Eurasia. Listed in the Economist Top 100 Books of 2007.
