Over the last decade, Swedish labour relations have attracted relatively little scholarly attention, not least due to their 'normalization' along the lines of continental European practices. This article argues that the Swedish Model of labour concertation and social partnership has survived the turbulence of the 1990s, and the main reason for that is the salient power resources that uniosn and social democrats have retianed. The Model's recent resurgence is intimately linked to the ability of the trade unions to co-regulate the labour market, which is a result of the organisational and institutional resources they possess. These are, however, under attack since the election of the Reinfeldt government in 2006. A complete explanation of their contemporary role in Swedish industrial relations necessitates a nuanced theoretical approach that rejects purely materialist and interest-oriented perspectives. Instead, the article suggests a historical institutionalist framework combining interests with ideas embedded in institutional configurations. ; Publisher's Version

On September 12, 2012, the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights (the Court) ruled in Nada v. Switzerland that the implementation by Switzerland of the United Nations Security Council Al-Qaida Sanctions Regime violated the right to private and family life under Article 8, and the right to an effective remedy under Article 13 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR).

The integration of twelve Western European countries into a single market in 1992 will make the European Community (EC) a major force in world affairs. To familiarize the reader with the EC, this article examines the EC budget‐how is it prepared, what it includes, and how it is financed. Some selected comparisons with U.S. institutions and processes are also offered in order to facilitate understanding.

The Office for Official Publications of the European Communities offers direct free access to the most complete collection of European Union law via the EUR-Lex online database. The value of the system lies in the extensive sets of metadata which allow for efficient and detailed search options. Nevertheless, the European institutions have each set up their own document register including their own sets of metadata, in order to improve access to their documents and meet the increasing need for transparency. Michael Düro suggests that to simplify access to EU documents, a common single search option could be based on a mapping of the most relevant metadata to the Dublin Core Metadata Element Set. Then a second mapping — linked to the idea of EUR-Lex serving as the single repository for European documents — could prepare the ground for the completion and enrichment of the document and metadata collection. With regard to its inter-institutional context, and using the ideas proposed in this publication, EUR-Lex could enhance, even further, public access to EU documents. "Crosswalking EUR-Lex: a proposal for a metadata mapping to improve access to EU documents" is intended for all those who would like, or need to know more about the European institutions' tools implementing the policy on access to documents. The main proposals could serve as food for thought for those involved in decision-making in that field. ; 1. Kontext und Zielsetzung der Arbeit Viele EU-Bürger stehen den großen europäischen Idealen positiv gegenüber, hegen aber ein gewisses Misstrauen gegenüber den Europäischen Institutionen. Der inzwischen gesetzlich fundierte Anspruch auf Zugang zu den Dokumenten der Europäischen Institutionen, der die Distanz minimieren helfen sollte, hat u. a. zur Einrichtung einer Vielzahl von Datenbanken mit unterschiedlichen Recherchemöglichkeiten geführt. Angesichts dieser Vielfalt ist es Ziel dieser Arbeit, einen Beitrag zur Verbesserung des Zugangs zu leisten: auf eine einführende Beschreibung wichtiger Instrumente ...
