The history of European integration is undeniably elitist. This study nevertheless holds that the body of research that has documented the failure of political elites (e.g., parties) and citizens are out of tune with each other on Europe as an issue in domestic politics relies on an overly narrow operational approach. This, in turn, seems to have generated unduly negative results about the Responsible Party Model and European integration. Typically, two or three survey questions are put to the public and to members of parliament. What are seen as unsatisfactorily large differences between public and party opinions are offered as evidence of the Responsible Party Model?s failure. ; TARA (Trinity?s Access to Research Archive) has a robust takedown policy.

Efficient packaging waste management systems are essential considering recent revisions of the European legislation on packaging waste management that sets ambitious targets. European rules aim to deal with the increasing quantities of packaging waste, which cause environmental problems. Consequently, it is necessary to identify functional packaging waste management systems to achieve these targets effectively and efficiently. However, given the heterogeneity of the different packaging management systems, policymakers, scholars, and industry operators struggle to have a comparative view. The number of non-harmonized laws in force across countries, autonomous recycling targets, and constant updates are prominent problems that make it difficult to obtain comparable information for research, business, and policymaking. To fill this gap, our research question consists of assigning responsibilities for prevention, collection, recycling, and recovery and an overview of some models at a glance with respect to the general governance and functioning of the system. We base our research on a multiple-case design since more cases are examined using complementary data collection methods, analysis of the previous literature, reports, legislation, and business and institutional websites. Our results provide insights from the following cases: Germany, France, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Portugal, Denmark, Spain, and Italy. In addition, policy implications emerge as our insights help overcome barriers in the European market's development caused by the different rules on packaging management and design serving policymakers that aim to harmonize the management of packaging waste. The paper also contains managerial implications for circular economy business models that can be used by managers who aim to design or upgrade their business models according to both recent legislative upgrades and packaging management systems.

The 2008/9 financial and economic crisis has discredited the neoliberal narrative which claims that the market is self-correcting and that private enterprise is superior to the public sector. In Europe, it turned out that the crisis highlighted the social and the democratic (as well as the ecological) deficits which have arisen over the past 30 years and which finally had eroded some of the most distinctive features of the European Social Model (ESM). However, the crisis has at least opened up space in the political discourse for alternative ideas concerning the creation of a more socially sustainable economy. In the essay it is argued that a renewed ESM is indispensable for a type of European integration based on social equality and environmental responsibility. After a short reference to Polanyi´s concepts of decommodification and disembedded capitalism the paper summarises the debate about the ESM and tries to capture its essence as it developed during the postwar decades. In the next section, the erosion of the ESM is described and important drivers of neoliberal restructuring in the EU are identified. The following part outlines major objectives in a possible revitalisation of the ESM based on three major projects: the renewal of the European welfare states, the reconstruction and expansion of the public sector and the democratisation of the EU and of European societies.

This article is about the European Extradition model and legislation of Republic of Azerbaijan. Extradition is the official process where by one nation or state surrenders a suspected or convicted criminal to another nation or state. Between nation states, extradition is regulated by treaties. International law does not establish a general duty to extradite. A legal obligation for one State (the requested State) to surrender a person wanted by another State (the requesting State) exists only on the basis of bilateral or multilateral extradition agreements, or if the requested State is a party to an international instrument which institutes a duty to extradite, as is the case with respect to specific offences such as, for example, genocide or apartheid. Other international instruments impose an obligation to extradite or prosecute that is, if surrender is refused, the requested. State must prosecute the wanted person in its own courts. Starting in the 1950s, the members of the Council of Europe, all of which are liberal democracies, have negotiated multilateral conventions designed to facilitate extradition among them.

In this article, we propose a theoretical model which help us to define two possible settings where the European "migration competition" could be analysed. First, we analyse the scenario in which there are two regions: a receiving country and a net sending country. In this scenario we introduce the possibility for each country to increase, by investing resources, the level of integration between countries which consequently reduces the level of migration costs. Thus it is possible to capture the receiving country's trade off between investing resources in order to attract foreign high skilled workers or investing on educational incentives for his citizens. Second, we analyse the scenario in which there are three regions. Starting from the first scenario's framework, we could analyse either the case in which a new country is able to intercept a significant quota of the flow of skilled migrants, either the effect of migration competition between the two regions in order to attract the skilled workers of the sending country. In both case analysed, the presence of a central authority which coordinates the migration and fiscal policies is determinant to obtain better results.

The success of a nation-state depends both on its military force & the development of social citizenship. It may be argued that, since WWII, a developed nation-state in Europe is indicative of a developed welfare state. However, there are various national welfare-state models, three of which are outlined: universal, liberal, & corporatist. The distinction is not drawn on the basis of expenditure, but rather, taking into account the share of public & private institutions in the provision of welfare & the extension of social rights to varous groups & classes. The question is addressed of whether the rapid integration process now underway in Europe will lead to the death of nation-states & the integration of national models. Some fear the unification of welfare-state models toward the liberal type, but another possible development is the "corporisation" of welfare-state models, ie, a shift toward the corporatist model, with an emphasis on status differentials in social security. The universal model of the Nordic welfare states is likely to move in this direction, too. These tendencies are not based on European Community social legislation, but on the broader social consequences of economic integration & tax harmonization. 22 References. AA

This article provides a general analysis of the Model European Rules of Civil Procedure established in 2020 (hereinafter – the Rules). It describes their structure, defines the purpose and goals, main principles. The author comes to the conclusions regarding the role and importance of these Rules for the further development of civil proceedings, both in the EU Member States and in other countries, in particular, in Ukraine. The important role of the unification of the terminology of civil procedure is identified. In particular, we are talking about such specific institutions of civil procedural law as the principle of cooperation between a judge and parties, the principle of settlement, case management and others, which are absent in Ukrainian national legislation, nevertheless, very important for the scholar research. Second, the scope and main principles of the Rules require rethinking of traditional approaches to regulating the relationship between a judge, parties and their representatives, as well as the role of a judge in proceedings, new approaches to the phasing of court proceedings and the differentiation of civil procedure, which should be helpful while further development of the civil procedural legislation in Ukraine. Keywords: access to justice; civil proceedings; dispute settlement; the principle of cooperation between a judge and parties; the principle of proportionality; effective protection of rights.
