Die Studie untersucht den Einfluss von EU-Mitgliedsstaaten auf die Europäische Nachbarschaftspolitik. Dabei analysiert die Autorin zunächst die europäische und regionale Identität der ausgewählten Länder: Deutschland, Frankreich und Polen. Anschließend liegt der Fokus auf deren Regionalkonzepten - der Europäischen Ostpolitik Deutschlands, der Mittelmeerunion Frankreichs und der Östlichen Partnerschaft Polens - und auf den Interaktionsformen dieser Staaten während den europäischen Verhandlungen im Zeitraum von 2006 bis 2009. Die abschließende Analyse der Effekte dieser Debatte auf die ENP ist eingebettet in den größeren europäischen Kontext mit den aktuellen Fragen nach einer Erweiterung und Vertiefung der EU, den Modellen der differenzierten Integration sowie der europäischen Außenpolitik. Die Analyse kombiniert die Theorien des Konstruktivismus, des Neo-Institutionalismus sowie der Europäisierung und basiert auf einer Methodentriangulation von Diskursanalyse und Experteninterviews. Analysing the influence of EU member states on European Neighbourhood Policy, this study firstly refers to the European and regional identities of the selected EU member states, Germany, France and Poland. Secondly, it focuses on their different regional concepts - the European Ostpolitik of Germany, the Mediterranean Union of France and the Eastern Partnership of Poland - and the EU member states' modes of interaction during the European negotiations that took place between 2006 and 2009. Thirdly, it considers the effects of this debate on the ENP. In doing so, it takes into account on-going discussions in the broader European context of deepening and widening the EU, of models of differentiated integration and the question of a European foreign policy. The analysis combines the theories of constructivism, new institutionalism and Europeanisation and is based on a

It is universally accepted that there has been a huge growth in EU lobbying over the past few decades. There is now a dense EU interest group system. This entirely new volume, inspired by Mazey & Richardson's 1993 book Lobbying in the European Community, seeks to understand the role of interest groups in the policy process from agenda-setting to implementation. Specifically, the book is interested in observing how interest groups organise to influence the EUinstitutions and how they select different coalitions along the policy process and in different policy domains. In looking at 20 years of.

Delegating Responsibility explores the politics of migration in the European Union and explains how and why the EU responded to the 2015-17 refugee crisis. Based on 86 interviews and fieldwork in Greece and Italy, Nicholas R. Micinski puts forward a new theory of international cooperation on international migration. States approach migration policies in many ways--such as coordination, collaboration, subcontracting, and unilateralism--but which way they choose is based on the migration state capacity and credible partners on the ground. Micinski traces the evolution of EU migration management, like border security and asylum policies, over the last fifty years and shows how EU officials used "crises" as political leverage to further Europeanize migration governance. In two in-depth cases studies, he explores these themes to explain how Italy and Greece responded to the most recent refugee crisis. He concludes with a discussion of policy recommendations regarding the current situation and long-term aspirations for migration management in the EU. This book is an excellent introduction to the politics of the EU, migration and refugee policy, and humanitarianism and presents original data and findings from the 2015-17 refugee crisis

"This revised and updated Research Handbook on European State Aid Law brings together established academics and practitioners to provide a wide-ranging coverage of the field. Incorporating political science, economics and the law in its analysis, it provides a strong overview of the salient issues in State aid law and policy. Chapters address the significance of State aid to various aspects of the political and legal systems of the Member States, including taxation, the financial sector, and the interplay between EU rules on State aid, free movement and public procurement. The Research Handbook further examines the application of the State aid rules to major sectors of the EU economy and introduces brand new themes for State aid analysis, such as arbitration, social services and the impact of Brexit. Featuring theoretical explorations and empirical studies, this Research Handbook will be crucial reading for scholars and researchers of EU State aid law, especially those searching for new avenues of research. It will also be a useful reference point for officials in national governments and the European Commission who are engaged in the State aid approval process. Judges hoping to expand their knowledge of EU State aid law and policy will also benefit from this insightful Research Handbook"--

Population-based screening for early detection and treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC) and precursor lesions, using evidence-based methods, can be effective in populations with a significant burden of the disease provided the services are of high quality. Multidisciplinary, evidence-based guidelines for quality assurance in CRC screening and diagnosis have been developed by experts in a project co-financed by the European Union. The 450-page guidelines were published in book format by the European Commission in 2010. They include 10 chapters and over 250 recommendations, individually graded according to the strength of the recommendation and the supporting evidence. Adoption of the recommendations can improve and maintain the quality and effectiveness of an entire screening process, including identification and invitation of the target population, diagnosis and management of the disease and appropriate surveillance in people with detected lesions. To make the principles, recommendations and standards in the guidelines known to a wider professional and scientific community and to facilitate their use in the scientific literature, the original content is presented in journal format in an open-access Supplement of Endoscopy. The editors have prepared the present overview to inform readers of the comprehensive scope and content of the guidelines. ; peer-reviewed

In fifty years, European private international law has undergone significant changes. Increased globalization and the emergence of e-commerce has led to a greater need for and more widespread reliance on private international law. As a result, most legal practitioners can no longer avoid it in their day-to-day practices. Each year, the Jura Falconis conference is held to discuss prior developments, draw lessons from the past and offer perspectives for the future of European private international law. The 50th anniversary of the Brussels Convention (1968) presented itself as the perfect discussion point for the 2018 conference. European Private International Law at 50 is the written result of the 2018 conference. It brings together legal experts and provides the reader with a thorough examination of the most important aspects of the field, considering possible future developments and the impact of Brexit
