This volume examines case studies on EU countries' policy to combat climate change, examining the constraints of and opportunities for the implementation of climate change strategies in these countries. The introductory section provides an overview of the climate change problem and its potential effects, examining the roles of different greenhouse gases, the main emission sources, the likely consequences of climate change and the scope for abatement and adapation. The second part consists of six detailed case studies on diverse national strategies. The book concludes with a comparative analysi.

AbstractAlthough the policy performance field acknowledges the importance of adopting a long‐term decision making perspective to attain more sustainable policy outcomes, it overlooks the way in which sustainable governance conditions and policy performance relate to each other. We address this gap by investigating why some countries succeed in terms of policy performance while others do not. Applying a fuzzy‐set QCA to 41 Organization for Economic Co‐operation and Development and European Union countries of the Sustainable Governance Indicators data, we find out that successful economic and social policy performance is mainly driven by executive accountability conditions combined with effective implementation, while the high‐quality of media plays a key role in successful environmental policy performance. Considering the multiple paths that practitioners can follow toward sustainable development benefits, they can also learn how to shift from short‐term to long‐term thinking by identifying "what works and why," formulating good practices and guidelines for better policy performance in the respective national contexts.

Ekonomik krizler son yüzyılda fazla karşılaşılan bir olgu olarak ekonomistler için önemli bir araştırma konusudur. Ayrıca ekonomik krizler, genel anlamda ülkelerin makroekonomik parametrelerinde negatif etkiler meydana getirmektedirler. Bu negatif etkilerden biri de yerel yönetimlerin mali yapısı üzerinde meydana gelmektedir. Vatandaşlara en yakın hizmet veren kamu idareleri olan yerel yönetimlerin ekonomik krizle birlikte mali yapılarındaki etkileşim değerlendirilmesi gereken bir konudur. Bu amaçla çalışmanın amacı makroekonomik etkileri olumsuz olan ekonomik krizlerin yerel yönetimlerin maliyelerinde ne tür etkiler bıraktığının tespit edilmesidir. Bu tespitin yapılması için "Avrupa Borç Krizi" örnek olarak seçilmiş ve PIIGS ülkelerinin de içinde yer aldığı Avrupa'daki on beş ülkenin krizin en yoğun olduğu "2010-2015" yılları arasında yerel yönetim bütçelerindeki negatif dönüşüm gözlenmiştir. Sonuç olarak bahsedilen dönemde bu ülkelerin yerel yönetimlerinin gelir ve harcamalarında daralmalar olduğu ve yaşanan ekonomik krizlerden ciddi anlamda etkilendikleri tespit edilmiş ve yerel yönetimlerin krizlerden daha az etkilenmesi için neler yapılması gerektiği hakkında çeşitli önerilerde bulunulmuştur. ; Economic crises are an important research topic for economists as a more common phenomenon in the last century. Also, economic crises have negative effects on the macroeconomic parameters of countries. One of these negative effects is on the financial structure of local governments. The deterioration in the financial structures of local administrations as the public institutions serving the citizens closest to them is an issue that needs to be evaluated. The aim of this study is to determine the effects of the economic crises which have negative macroeconomic effects on the finances of local governments of fifteen countries. In order to make this determination, the "European Debt Crisis" was chosen as an example and negative transformation was observed in the local government budgets between the years 2010-2015, when the crisis in Europe was the most intense. As a result, it was determined that there was contraction in the revenues and expenditures of local governments of these countries and they were seriously affected by the economic crises and various suggestions were made about what should

In 1992, the EU established the Common European Asylum System, which is based on five central directives one of which is the Dublin regulation. The debate about a possible Dublin IV regulation started a long time ago, but the discrepancies among the member states' interests are huge and it is hard to find a compromise. In fact, since the third and last update in 2013, there have not been any further changes. However, all parties agree that there is a need of reform and that the current system is unfair and inefficient. This paper wants to highlight future possible scenarios. The Commission presented a proposal in 2016 to reform the whole CEAS, which included a proposal for Dublin IV. The European Parliament had already adopted a position on the proposal of 2016, while the Council did not. The first part of the paper is dedicated to the current situation and to the reasons why the Regulation needs reform. The second section analyses the Proposal submitted by the Commission in 2016, and the related problems and reasons why this Proposal has not been agreed upon. Before reaching the conclusion, the third section explores possible alternatives of the Regulation's future. It is difficult to say what will happen; theseare all hypothetical scenarios. However, it is fundamental to deeply analyse the suggestions proposed so far with regard to an eventual reform of the current regulation. ; peer-reviewed

What has been the impact of the EU on UK central government? This book explores the?Europeanisation? of the work of civil servants and ministers and how they engage with the EU. Drawing on fresh empirical evidence, the volume offers the first comprehensive analysis of the spreading impact of European integration across government. The study is placed in the context of political divisions over the EU but outlines the often neglected way in which the EU has transformed the business of government. It charts the process from the Macmillan government?s 1961 application to join the European Communi
