Turkey first applied for EU membership in 1987 and started negotiations for full membership in October 2005 after lengthy and challenging negotiations between EU member states. This master's thesis attempts to examine the relationship between the negotiations for EU membership that are going on between Turkey and the EU Commission and the public discussion on the subject. The research material consists of selected posts on the Financial Times discussion forum and the Acquis communautaire and Copenhagen criteria. By comparing the research material this thesis attempts to investigate if the public deliberation and official negotiations focus on the same issues and requirements for membership. The theoretical background for this analysis is deliberative democracy, according to which public debate should be a prerequisite for agenda setting and decision making. The findings of the thesis reveal that the public discussion does touch on the acquis communautaire and Copenhagen criteria to some degree, but the public is also concerned with non-acquis issues such as the culture and history. A unique feature of the accession negotiations is also the amount of commentary from heads of state regarding the negotiations, which was also noted in the research material. In the light of deliberative democratic theory it can be noted that the public may take part in the discussion over Turkey's membership, but it has little or no chances of setting the agenda for the negotiations.

Las actuaciones de desarrollo rural llevadas a cabo en la Unión Europea han adolecido históricamente de una coherencia interna propia y se han ido incorporando al acervo comunitario como respuesta puntual a las necesidades de cada momento. La Política de Desarrollo Rural, que nace como segundo pilar de la PAC tras la aprobación de la Agenda 2000, supuso su formalización como tal pero su diseño, construido por la adicción de medidas dispersas, dista mucho de ser una política internamente construida. La nueva formulación aprobada para 2007-13 la consagra como un apéndice de la PAC, con escasos fondos, con serias incógnitas para su puesta en marcha y desarrollo aunque con una estructura y diseño más lógico y una gestión más simplificada. ; Historically any rural development initiatives undertaken by the European Union have lacked internal coherence and mostly have joined the European legal bodies on a case by case basis. The Rural Development Policy, born as a second basement to the CAP (Common Agriculturan Policy), was a formalizing effort but being designed as a set of sparce initiatives prevented it from succeeding as an internal, solid policy. Under its new definition for the 2007-13 period it becomes an appendix to the CAP, with meager funds and serious issues about its launch and rollout but with an structure and design better suited to its stated aims and a simplified organizing model.

This work, prepared and published during the author's stay at the RSCAS, EUI, is a "compilation thesis" (in Finnish "artikkeliväitöskirja"), Department of Political Sciences, University of Helsinki, and contains the major part of the author's PhD thesis (forthcoming print monograph, 2012). ; The future is uncertain, and the financial system of the European Union has to take into account this uncertainty. This book looks at the different means it has at its disposal to do so, and analyses how these means have evolved since the creation of the general budget of the European Communities in 1968. The analysis is extended to a broader study of the development of the European Union through several case studies: negotiations on the Financial Regulation of 25 June 2002,on its first modifi cation, adopted on 13 December 2006, and on the Interinstitutional Agreement (IIA) of 17 May 2006 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline and sound fi nancial management and on the Multiannual Financial Framework for 2007-2013. The question of the uncertainty of the future is addressed using the so-called "Theory of Budgetary Flexibility". This theory, developed originally to analyse national budgetary systems, establishes an essential distinction between External Flexibility and Internal Flexibility, on the one hand, and Annual Flexibility and Multiannual Flexibility on the other hand. It is particularly useful here as it enables us to examine under a common framework processes that are often considered separate (and treated in the literature as such), and to draw conclusions at systems' level. The book is divided into three Parts: - Part One (Chapters 1 to 3), which forms the theoretical part of this book, includes an analysis of the specificities and of the functioning of the budgetary and financial systems of the European Union, while presenting an "état des lieux" of studies carried out in these fields; - Part Two (Chapters 4 to 13) deals with changes that have been made to various forms of flexibility since 1968. Special attention is paid not only to the consequences these changes have had for the various actors involved – namely the European Parliament, the Council, the Commission and Member States – but also for the financial system of the European Union as a whole; - Part Three (Chapters 14 to 18) addresses the question of how the changes examined in Part Two affect the general development of the European Union.

En aquest article fem un recorregut per les polítiques, accions i estratègies de la Unió Europea en l'àmbit de l'esport. Començant per les primeres consideracions de l'esport com un valor rellevant per a Europa i per a la construcció social i col•lectiva, subratllem la fita que va suposar la incorporació del mateix com un àmbit i competència europea als Tractats Constitucionals i, específicament, al Tractat de Lisboa. A continuació, reflectim la normativa comunitària i els plans d'acció més rellevants generats per les institucions europees en aquest àmbit, així com les iniciatives més emblemàtiques, de les quals el programa Erasmus + 2014-2020 constitueix l'element recent més significatiu. ; In this article we set out to review the policies, actions and strategies of the European Union with regard to sport, starting with the first considerations of sport as a core value for Europeand for the process of social and collective construction, and attaching due emphasis to the historic importance of its incorporation as an area of European competence in the basicConstitutional Treaties and specifically in the Treaty of Lisbon.
