THROUGH THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA (EEA) AGREEMENT, NORWAY IS PART OF THE EUROPEAN UNION'S INTERNAL MARKET. THIS PAPER DISCUSSES THE IMPACT OF EU INTEGRATION ON THE CHAIN OF DELEGATION AND ACCOUNTABILITY IN THE NORWEGIAN POLITICAL SYSTEM. IT DOES SO BY POINTING TO THE MAIN INSTITUTIONAL FEATURES REGULATING EACH LINK OF THE PARLIAMENTARY CHAIN, AND ASSESSING THE WAY IN WHICH THE QUESTION OF EU MEMBERSHIP/EEA AGREEMENT HAS INFLUENCED THE RELEVANT RELATIONSHIPS.
COGNITIVE AND ADVISORY PROCESS THEORIES USUALLY ARE CAST AS COMPETING EXPLANATIONS OF DECISION-MAKING IN U.S. FOREIGN POLICY. THEY ARE MORE APPROPRIATELY APPROACHED AS COMPLEMENTARY COMPONENTS OF A SINGLE EXPLANATION, IN WHICH THE INDEPENDENT VARIABLE OF THE PRESIDENT'S BELIEF SYSTEM IS MEDIATED BY THE INTERVENING VARIABLE OF THE SENIOR ADVISORY PROCESS. THE EXTENT OF THE MEDIATING EFFECT IS A FUNCTION OF THE DEGREE AND NATURE OF SENIOR ADVISOR UNITY: WEAKEST WHEN THERE IS SENIOR ADVISOR DISUNITY, AND STRONGEST WHEN THERE IS DISSENTING UNITY. THE CASES OF THE CARTER ADMINISTRATION POLICY TOWARD THE SHAH OF IRAN AND THE REAGAN ADMINISTRATION POLICY TOWARD PRESIDENT FERDINAND MARCOS OF THE PHILIPPINES BEAR OUT THESE HYPOTHESES.
"This book provides an up-to-date interdisciplinary assessment of the accountability of the executive power in different European States and at the European Union level. From a legal perspective, it wonders to what extent the forms of responsibility and accountability of executive power have evolved in terms of legal technique or framework. From a historical perspective, it looks at the evolution of responsibility paradigms. From a political science perspective, it examines responsibility and the expectations of European democracies in terms of authority and efficiency. The volume also has a quantitative aspect identifying, gathering and analysing statistical material on responsibility and accountability in current political regimes. The book will be a valuable resource for researchers, academics and policy-makers in Constitutional Law and Politics, Public Law, Comparative Law, Comparative Politics, Legal History and Government"--
Autor analizira sociostrukturna i političko-ideološka obilježja stranačkog sustava u Hrvatskoj na temelju rezultata ankete provedene pred parlamentarne izbore 1992. Iako se stranački sustav nije do kraja formirao i stabilizirao, autor pokazuje da je njegova temeljna struktura određena nizom rascjepa. Isprva dominantni povijesni rascjep između političkih orijentacija koje zagovaraju hrvatsku samostalnost i onih koje joj se protive biva nadopunjen suvremenim polarizacijama poput liberalizma nasuprot konzervativizmu, demokratičnosti nasuprot autoritarnosti, kozmopolitizma nasuprot etnocentrizmu, religioznosti nasuprot sekularnosti. Ti rascjepi dihotomno strukturiraju hrvatski stranački sustav na tradicionalistički desni pol te modernistički centar i ljevicu. Autor također opisuje glavne dinamičke tendencije u stranačkom sustavu Hrvatske. ; The author analyses socio-structural as well as political and ideological characteristics of the party system in Croatia, on the basis of the results of a survey conducted short time before the 1992 parliamentary elections. Although the party system has not been completely shaped and stabilized, the author shows that its basic structure is determined by a number of cleavages. The initially dominant historical cleavage between political orientations advocating Croatian independence and those opposing it has been supplemented by contemporary polarization, such as liberalism versus conservatism, democratism versus authoritarianism, cosmopolitism versus ethnocentrism, religious versus secular orientation. These cleavages determine a dichotomous structure of the Croatian party system with a traditionalist right-wing pole and a modernist center and left-wing pole. The author also describes main dynamic tendencies in the party system of Croatia.
"A must read for anyone interested in the politics and economics of autonomy and interdependence in a new era." —Sarah Bauerle Danzman, Indiana University Bloomington "The Political Economy of Geoeconomics makes a critical contribution. It is a must read for anyone interested in economic coercion and Europe." —Abraham Newman, Georgetown University "A comprehensive book on geoeconomics and the role of Europe could not be timelier." —A ndreas Nölke, Goethe University Frankfurt This book brings together researchers from different analytical perspectives for the study of contemporary geoeconomics to create a broader and more useful catalogue of conceptual tools, empirical entry points, and case studies around the subject. The distinctive contribution this book offers is its firm rooting in International Political Economy and the hitherto under-researched geoeconomics dynamics of Europe. Many existing accounts of geoeconomics have been developed in International Relations and often reproduce some of the state-centric and static assumptions of the discipline. Recent scholarship furthermore tends to focus on the US-China rivalry, thus discounting the role of other global powers in shaping geoeconomics. As a first collective contribution to the topic in the field of International Political Economy, the book stands to become a major reference point in the field for the coming years. Interest in geoeconomics as well as in related concepts like weaponized interdependence or emerging new rivalries has been on the rise in recent years and will be one of the key research areas in the coming decade of transition and change in Europe and beyond.
