National Interest Organizations in the EU Multilevel System Political scientists have always accorded interest organizations a prominent place in European Union (EU) policy-making because they connect the EU institutions to citizens provide important information to EU policy-makers and control resources that impact on the problem-solving capacity of EU policies. In other words they are vital to both the input legitimacy and the output legitimacy of the EU. So far research on interest organizations in EU policy-making has concentrated on EU-level interest organizations and EU-level politics. This edited book draws attention to the role national interest organizations play in the EU multilevel system. All contributions present state-of-the-art research on that subject in the form of theory-driven empirical analyses.

The EU Emissions Trading Scheme This special issue of the Climate Policy journal outlines the fundamentals of the new European Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) assesses the strategies for and impact of implementation and highlights the scheme's potential including positive aspects and remaining hurdles. The EU Emission Trading Scheme (EU ETS) is the first international trading scheme for CO2 in the world. Its aim is to reduce the cost of compliance to existing targets under the Kyoto Protocol. From 1st January 2005 companies in high-energy sectors covered by the scheme must limit their CO2 emissions to allocated levels arranged in two periods: from 2005-2007 and 2008-2012 (to match the first Kyoto commitment period). In practice the scheme is likely to cover over 12 000 installations across the European Union corresponding to approximately 46% of the total EU CO2 emissions. The EU ETS represents a significant development in working at an international level to combat dangerous climate change. The EU Emissions Trading Scheme presents a comprehensive and insightful analysis of the EU ETS written by international experts in the field. The publication includes the latest research on emissions credits the interaction of the trading scheme with national energy policies and the debate on future expansion. GBP 130.00 1
EU Law Fundamental Rights and National Democracy The orthodox view is that rights complement democracy. This book critically examines this view in the context of EU fundamental rights specifically in situations where EU law requires member states to respect EU fundamental rights. It first sets out a legal theoretical account of how human rights can complement democracy. It argues that they can do so only if they are understood as both the conditions for the democratic process and the outcome of such a democratic process. In light of this legal theoretical account of human rights this book examines the demands which the Court of Justice of the EU (CJEU) imposes on the national orders in respect of EU fundamental rights. The conclusion reached is that the demands which EU fundamental rights impose on national legal orders entail a cost for the democratic legitimacy of those legal orders. Ultimately accepting the demands of the CJEU in respect of EU fundamental rights may require the national legal order to abandon its commitment to protecting the human rights which are the foundation of the national legal order’s very legitimacy. | EU Law Fundamental Rights and National Democracy GBP 39.99 1
The Accountability Gap in EU law Almost two decades ago the fall of the Santer Commission against a background of allegations of maladministration and nepotism had the effect of placing accountability on the political agenda of the EU institutions. More recently the non-ratification of the Constitutional Treaty the difficulties of the ratification of the Lisbon Treaty and the current financial crisis have increased the calls for accountability in the EU. This book investigates whether any progress towards more accountability and transparency has been made in the post-Lisbon era by taking a holistic approach to the subject. Marios Costa argues that currently the EU institutions and the Member States are not in a position to hold the so-called independent agencies as well as the various committees and expert groups accountable. Despite recent progress the EU still needs to put forward an acceptable constitutional framework which will truly secure accountability at the EU level of governance. | The Accountability Gap in EU law GBP 38.99 1

Promoting National Priorities in EU Foreign Policy The Czech Republic’s Foreign Policy in the EU How do smaller member states promote their interests in EU foreign policy and external relations?EU membership can be seen to affect member states’ foreign policy in two ways either by restricting national policies or empowering states in a challenging global environment. There is a general agreement however that the member states especially smaller ones have to engage actively in policy-making in order to promote their particular interest. This cross-policy comparison of the behaviour of Czech Republic’s representatives in the Council and the methods they use to influence the decision-making applies categorisation from lobbying literature to analyse the behaviour of the member state’s representatives and contributes to two strands of scholarship on European Union politics - decision-making in the EU and Europeanization. The book maps the methods of interest promotion that can be used by a member state and analyses the differences in interest promotion across external policy areas. | Promoting National Priorities in EU Foreign Policy The Czech Republic’s Foreign Policy in the EU GBP 38.99 1
EU-Russia Relations in Crisis Understanding Diverging Perceptions Relations between the EU and Russia have been traditionally and predominantly studied from a one-sided power perspective in which interests and capabilities are taken for granted. This book presents a new approach to EU-Russia relations by focusing on the role of images and perceptions which can be major obstacles to the enhancement of relations between both actors. By looking at how these images feature on both sides (EU and Russia) on different levels (bilateral regional multilateral) and in different policy fields (energy minorities regional integration multilateral institutions) the book seeks to reintroduce a degree of sophistication into EU-Russia studies and provide a more complete overview of different dimensions of EU-Russia relations than any book has done to date. Taking social constructivist and transnational approaches interests and power are not seen as objectively given but as socially mediated and imbued by identities. This text will be of key interest to scholars students and practitioners of European Foreign Policy Eastern Partnership Russian Foreign Policy and more broadly to European and EU Politics/Studies Russian studies and International Relations. | EU-Russia Relations in Crisis Understanding Diverging Perceptions GBP 39.99 1
The EU in a Globalized World This book fosters critical reflection on Europe's place in a fast-changing global environment covering the soft and hard facets of EU power along the spectrum of low politics–high politics. Taking an innovative case-study approach it provides a wide understanding of European Studies and International Relations beyond classical power considerations and addresses the crossroads of the two disciplines. Fundamentally it addresses the specificity of the EU as an actor in International Relations and shows that the EU holds power and influence – creating opportunities for peace-making and peace-building – in a way classical IR theory would suggest it should not.

EU Climate Diplomacy Politics Law and Negotiations The European Union has long played a leadership role in the global response to climate change including the development and dissemination of climate-friendly technologies such as renewable energy. EU diplomacy has been a vital contributor to the development of international cooperation on climate change through the agreement of the United Nations Climate Convention its Kyoto Protocol and most recently the Paris Agreement. In addition the election of Donald Trump as President of the United States means that the EU contribution to climate diplomacy will become more important still both in filling the leadership gap (together with other major economies) and in responding to any sabotage by the Trump administration. This book will extend knowledge of the EU as a key actor in climate diplomacy by bringing together leading practitioners and researchers in this field to take stock of the EU’s current role and emerging issues. Contributions will be grouped into three strands: 1) the interplay between EU climate diplomacy and internal EU politics; 2) how the EU’s legal order is a factor that determines enables and constrains its climate diplomacy; and 3) the EU’s contribution to diplomacy concerning climate technology both under the Climate Convention and more broadly. Collectively these contributions will chart the EU’s role at a critical time of transition and uncertainty in the international response to climate change. EU Climate Diplomacy: Politics Law and Negotiations will be of great relevance to students scholars and policymakers with an interest in international climate politics and policy transnational environmental law and politics and EU studies more generally. | EU Climate Diplomacy Politics Law and Negotiations GBP 39.99 1
EU-Japan Security Cooperation Trends and Prospects This book assesses EU-Japan security relations examining how they have developed in individual security sectors and how they could be affected by international developments. The conclusions of the Economic Partnership Agreement and the Strategic Partnership Agreement in 2017 demonstrate the steady growth in EU-Japan political relations. Since the 1990s dialogues between the EU and Japan have benefitted from extensive trade and investment ties and shared liberal values. Based on collaborative research by European and Japanese scholars this book provides an in-depth systematic and comparative analysis of the extent to which the EU and Japan have achieved concrete actions in the pursuance of security cooperation across a range of key areas such as nuclear proliferation regional security international terrorism and energy and climate security. Further it seeks to explain why some security sectors (such as economic and cybersecurity) have resulted in more extensive EU-Japan cooperation while others lag behind (such as military and regional security). Common declarations and actions of shared interest and concerns have often led to only modest levels of security collaboration and the book highlights factors that may be seen as intervening between intention and action such as the role of external actors for instance China and the US and the constraints of internal EU and domestic Japanese politics. This book will be of much interest to students of European security Japanese politics diplomacy studies and international relations. | EU-Japan Security Cooperation Trends and Prospects GBP 39.99 1
EU Law Enforcement The Evolution of Sanctioning Powers The existence of a structured enforcement system is an inherent feature of national legal orders and one of the core elements of State sovereignty. The very limited power to issue sanctions has often been deemed a gap in the EC legal order. Over the years the situation has progressively changed. The Union’s institutional setting is growing in complexity and a variety of agencies has been or is expected to be endowed with law enforcement responsibilities. In addition the so-called competence creep has led the EU to play an increasingly prominent role in several areas of EU law enforcement including the issuing of sanctions. This book examines these developments focusing on both the general features of the EU legal order and the analysis of key-substantive areas such as banking and monetary union environmental law and data protection. The work thus presents a general framework for understanding EU sanctioning based on structural features and general legal principles. Part I develops an analytical framework tracking the most significant evolutive patterns of EU sanctioning powers. Part II adopts a more practical approach focusing on specific issues and policy areas. The book bridges a gap in existing literature and sheds new light on the relationship between the exercise of jus puniendi and the evolution of EU integration. | EU Law Enforcement The Evolution of Sanctioning Powers GBP 38.99 1
European External Action The Making of EU Diplomacy in Kenya European External Action provides a critical assessment of the practice of EU diplomacy in a key site of Africa-European relations and the global development industry - the Kenyan capital of Nairobi. It analyses how the EU positions itself through its newly established diplomatic corps the European External Action Service (EEAS) and how it is perceived as a collective geopolitical actor by its external cooperation partners. Going beyond existing studies on EU policy making in Brussels and African-European relations more generally this book explores in a novel way the conduct of external relations and perceptions of the EU - abroad. Based on institutional ethnography within the EU Delegation in Nairobi and research affiliation with the University of Nairobi as well as interviews with leading individuals of Kenyan-European interaction it analyses the practices processes and perceptions through which EU diplomacy is enacted and realised in a strategic node of global North-South relations. In light of the EU’s claim as a key partner for developing countries and its ambition to be a major player in global politics European External Action thereby speaks not only to wider debates on the EU’s role as a global and development actor but also provides new insights in the internal dynamics and the making of external agency in and through EU diplomacy. | European External Action The Making of EU Diplomacy in Kenya GBP 46.99 1
National Courts and the Application of EU Law Lessons from Poland This book presents the case law of Polish courts namely the Supreme Court administrative courts and the Constitutional Tribunal in which the principles of EU law have been successfully applied. It discusses how Polish courts apply principles of consistent interpretation primacy and direct effect of EU law in their daily adjudicating practice in order to ensure effet utile of EU law resulting in effective protection of individuals' rights derived from the EU legal order. The book explores the legal nature of these principles and in particular the requirement that national rules that are found to be incompatible with legally binding and enforceable EU law should be disapplied by the domestic courts. It explains Polish courts’ reasoning concerning the inseparable relationship between the principle of primacy of EU law and the remedy of disapplication of national law. As the guidelines provided for the national courts by the Court of Justice of the European Union are often quite vague the work will be important and useful for academics and practitioners from different European jurisdictions to observe the manner in which these principles of EU law are applied in jurisdictions other than their own. | National Courts and the Application of EU Law Lessons from Poland GBP 130.00 1
China-EU Relations in a New Era of Global Transformation This book draws together leading experts to examine the key issues in China-EU relations.

The book highlights the struggles of both China and the EU to look for a dynamic and durable mode of engagement in an attempt to achieve the balance between opportunities and challenges and between partnership and rivalry. International contributors explore how to conceptualise China-EU relations and identify their differences and commonalities such as the EU’s role in China’s foreign policy process and how the EU works with China as a strategic partner. Finally it analyses China’s and the EU’s perceptions of their own present and future roles. Shedding light on the perspectives of understanding and change in China-EU relations and its impact on multilateralism it will appeal to researchers and professionals working in International Relations International Political Economy and area studies who are interested in the rise of emerging powers and the changing world order. | China-EU Relations in a New Era of Global Transformation GBP 36.99 1
EU Security Policy and Crisis Management A Quest for Coherence This book explores European Union crisis management and draws implications for its role as an international security actor. The success of EU crisis management has varied greatly and this book aims to identify the key factors that explain the differing degrees of coherence through a comparative analysis of its multidimensional crisis responses in Africa. The empirical focus lies on three prominent EU crisis management cases namely Libya in 2011 Somalia in 2011-2012 and the Sahel in 2012-2013. It analyses the activities and interaction of EU institutional actors and member states with a focus on France the United Kingdom and Germany. The book argues that the EU represents a rather unpredictable security actor whose multi-level coherence is contingent on the congruence of domestic economic and electoral interests as well as national threat perceptions and the extent to which EU-level coherence norms resonate with national norms on the use of force and modes of multilateral cooperation. In sum this book offers systematic insight into EU crisis management and clarifies the conceptual and empirical boundaries of the comprehensive approach. Finally the study of the micro-foundations of coherence allows for policy-relevant suggestions on the EU’s future role as a security actor. This book will be of much interest to students of EU policy European Security Peace and Conflict Studies African Politics and IR in general. | EU Security Policy and Crisis Management A Quest for Coherence GBP 38.99 1
Understanding EU-NATO Cooperation How Member-States Matter This book examines the development of cooperation between the EU and NATO two key non-state actors in the European security architecture. The work examines the relationship between the EU and NATO by focusing on the perspective of member states. Highlighting the relevance of member states’ role in shaping EU-NATO relations it conceptualises interorganisational cooperation and develops a typology of member states based on four types: advocates blockers balancers and neutrals. To apply this typology and analyse member states’ specific roles the analysis considers their foreign and security policy orientations bilateral relationships with other member states and contributions to both military operations and division of labour between the two organisations. The book also examines states’ use of political strategies - such as forum-shopping hostage-taking and brokering - that influence the design evolution and practicalities of cooperation between the EU and NATO. This book will be of much interest to students of European Security and Defence Policy international organisations and security studies in general. | Understanding EU-NATO Cooperation How Member-States Matter GBP 38.99 1
EU Democracy Promotion and Governmentality Turkey and Beyond This volume draws on a Foucauldian understanding of governmentality to explore how EU civil society funding policies depoliticise civil society organisations. It questions whether international civil society funding always depoliticises civil society organisations as the literature on governmentality and international civil society policies argues. The author examines how the liberal and neo-liberal rationalities of EU funding have both politicising and depoliticising effects on the human rights organisations funded and demonstrates that whether the effects help or prevent the politicisation of human rights depends on how legitimate or contested the issue is domestically and how the civil society organisations act in this political context. These themes are explored through an in-depth analysis of the case of Turkey and EU funding of organisations working in the fields of women LGBT and Kurdish rights. Unpacking liberal and neo-liberal governmentality in EU democracy promotion and civil society funding this insightful contribution to the literature will be of interest to scholars of International Relations Middle East Studies European Studies and democracy promotion. | EU Democracy Promotion and Governmentality Turkey and Beyond GBP 38.99 1
EU and CARICOM Dilemmas versus Opportunities on Development Law and Economics Investigating the unique EU-CARICOM legal relationship this book explores the major theme of globalisation which shapes inter-regional organisations individually and determines their relationship to one another. It evaluates how EU-CARICOM relations have fostered trade security and other development measures reflecting on the past future and present of the Caribbean states that are active in the EU-CARICOM framework. Providing case studies on key issues such as immigration tax and energy it examines the impact that the EU-CARICOM has on the slave trade and the deportation of millions of people. Such bitter experiences still indirectly shape culture hopes and the economic framework of possibilities today; therefore the focus of the volume is on the issues which the constant stream of globalisation creates. The book assesses many potential impacts that the agenda of the EU and Brexit pending will have upon the EU-CARICOM relationship given the potential for these to create instability. Overall it highlights how the EU and CARICOM are representations for multilateralism and serve as models that provide the basis for many successful initiatives and agreements. In all new agreements and negotiations the will to accept the Sustainable Development Goals and thus to make inequality climate change and other goals of the SDGs the basis of an order that puts people at the centre are evaluated and the global agenda 2030 and its impact on EU-CARICOM.

Commercial Realism and EU Trade Policy Competing for Economic Power in Asia and the Americas The European Union (EU) is at the forefront of engaging in external trade relations outside of the World Trade Organization (WTO) with entire regions and economic powerhouses. Understanding why and how the EU engages in one of the most active fields of external relations is crucial. This book fills a gap in the literature by analysing motives on the modes – bilateralism inter-regionalism or multilateralism - of EU external trade relations towards regional organizations in Asia and Latin America outside of the WTO. In particular it examines why the EU turned from interregional to bilateral external trade relations towards these world regions – a question that is to date under-researched. By developing and testing an original approach rooted in realist theorizing coined ‘commercial realism’ it examines systematically the explanatory power of commercial realism against liberal-institutionalist approaches dominant in the literature on EU external relations through five in-depth case studies. This book will be of key interest to scholars and students in EU Politics/Studies EU external relations inter-regionalism and more broadly to International Relations and International Political Economy. | Commercial Realism and EU Trade Policy Competing for Economic Power in Asia and the Americas GBP 38.99 1
Comparative Perspectives on the Substance of EU Democracy Promotion This volume examines the substance of European Union (EU) democracy promotion by comparing it with norms of governance that other international actors promote among them the United Nations the United States the Central and East European EU member states Russia China and non-governmental organizations. The book offers a better understanding of the EU’s democracy promotion agenda and the (in)distinctiveness of the norms diffused by the EU. Building on a common conceptual introduction the chapters follow different theoretical approaches and research designs and focus on a range of diverse case studies. The book concludes that in comparison with other international actors the EU’s conceptual approach to democracy promotion is diffuse which in turn makes the EU a particularly flexible but also ‘technical’ democracy promoter when it comes to implementation. At the same time there are limits to flexibility at the level of concepts and frames. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Cambridge Review of International Affairs. | Comparative Perspectives on the Substance of EU Democracy Promotion GBP 42.99 1
Renegotiating Authority in EU Energy and Climate Policy In the context of multiple crises EU Energy and Climate policy is often identi□ed as one of the few areas still exhibiting strong integration dynamics. However this domain is not exempt from contestation and re-nationalization pressures. This collection seeks to understand those contradictory integration and disintegration tendencies by problematizingthe notion of authority: When why and by whom is EU authority in Energy and Climate policy conferred and contested? What strategies are used to manage authority con□flicts and to what e□ffect? These questions are examined in some of the knottiest aspects of EU energy and climate policy for example the adoption of the landmark Governance of the Energy Union Regulation the long-drawn-out attempts to complete the EU’s internal energy market the struggle to achieve ambitious EU targets in renewable energy and energy efficiency beyond 2020 the blurring of economic and security instruments in external energy policy or the heated discussions over the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline.

Non-Judicial Remedies and EU Administration Protection of Rights versus Preservation of Autonomy The increasing number of executive tasks assigned to EU institutions and agencies has resulted in a greater demand for justice that can no longer be satisfied by the courts alone. This has led to the development of a wide range of administrative remedies that have become a central part of the EU administrative justice system. This book examines the important theoretical and practical issues raised by this phenomenon. The work focuses on five administrative remedies: internal review; administrative appeals to the Commission against decisions of executive and decentralised agencies; independent administrative review of decisions of decentralised agencies; complaints to the EU Ombudsman; and complaints to the EU Data Protection Supervisor. The research rests on the idea that there is a complex and at times ambivalent relationship between administrative remedies and the varying degrees of autonomy of EU institutions and bodies offices and agencies. The work draws on legislation internal rules of executive bodies administrative practices and specific case law data and statistics. This empirical approach helps to unveil the true dynamics present within these procedures and demonstrates that whilst administrative remedies may improve the relationship between individuals and the EU administration their interplay with administrative autonomy might lead to a risk of fragmentation and incoherence in the EU administrative justice system. | Non-Judicial Remedies and EU Administration Protection of Rights versus Preservation of Autonomy GBP 38.99 1
Environmental Policy in the EU Actors Institutions and Processes The European Union (EU) has a hugely important effect on the way in which environmental policies are framed designed and implemented in many parts of the world but especially Europe. The new edition of this leading textbook provides a state-of-the-art analysis of the EU’s environmental policies. Comprising five parts Environmental Policy in the EU covers the rapidly changing context in which EU environmental policies are made the key actors who interact to co-produce them and the most salient dynamics of policy making ranging from agenda setting and decision making through to implementation and evaluation. Written by leading international experts individual chapters examine how the EU is responding to a multitude of different challenges including biodiversity loss climate change energy insecurity and water and air pollution. They tease out the different ways in which the EU’s policies on these topics co-evolve with national and international environmental policies. In this systematically updated fourth edition a wider array of learning features are employed to ensure that readers fully understand how EU environmental policies have developed over the last 50 years and how they are currently adapting to the rapidly evolving challenges of the twenty-first century including the COVID-19 pandemic.

EU Environmental Policies in Subnational Regions The Case of Scotland and Bavaria This title was first published in 2001: Despite the fact that environmental directives are one of the strongest areas of policy decreed by the EU it has a much poorer record when it comes to actual implementation of these policies. Instead of focusing on the traditional state-centrist accounts this book compares two subnational regions within the EU Scotland and Bavaria and their role in the policy process. The author offers a multi-layered implementation map which highlights three main government ’layers’ involved in the filtering process and identifies various formal and informal determinants which shape EU environmental policies during the process. The book not only compares implementation performances between the two regions and their respective states but also compares the region’s processes against the national processes thereby exposing determinants that would otherwise remain undetected. In doing so it confirms that subnational regions feature determinants which differ in many respects from national determinants and influence the effectiveness of EU environmental policies. The book contributes to a better understanding of the implementation deficit and presents a more refined picture of the EU environmental policy ’reality’. | EU Environmental Policies in Subnational Regions The Case of Scotland and Bavaria GBP 105.00 1
