Theory and reform in the EU

By: Dimitris N. Chryssochoou,Michael J. Tsinisizelis,Stelios Stavridis,Kostas Ifantis

This electronic version has been made available under a Creative Commons (BY-NC-ND) open access license. This substantially updated and revised edition offers a comprehensive overview of the challenges confronting the political system as well as the international politics of the European Union. It draws from a spectrum of regional integration theories to determine what the Union actually is and how it is developing, examining the constitutional politics of the European Union, from the Single European Act to the Treaty of Nice and beyond. The ongoing debate on the future of Europe links together the questions of democracy and legitimacy, competences and rights, and the prospects for European polity-building. The aim is to contribute to a better understanding of the emerging European polity and the questions that further treaty reform generates for the future of the regional system. The authors also assess the evolving European security architecture; the limits and possibilities of a genuine European foreign, security and defence policy; and the role of the EU in the post-Cold War international system. Common themes involve debates about stability and instability, continuity and change, multipolarity and leadership, co-operation and discord, power capabilities and patterns of behaviour. The book traces the defining features of the ‘new order’ in Europe and incorporates an analysis of the post-September 11th context.

Addressing Irregular Migration In the Mediterranean

By: Kostas Ifantis

PDF free to download from: http://martenscentre.eu/publications/addressing-irregular-migration-mediterranean Europe's need for a more effective and coordinated maritime border control policy has been widely recognised. Migratory pressures on southern European borders pose an enormous to EU policymakers. National and EU law enforcement and counterterrorism agencies need cooperate more closely in order to tackle emerging threats and challenges. Frontex, the EU agency for external border security, has enjoyed some successes. However, the agency remains vulnerable because it depends on Member States' solidarity and has a mandate which is largely driven by emergencies. The paper looks at how Frontex and the EU more generally can better coordinate its maritime border control policy, while also respecting human rights and the rule of law.

NATO in the New European Order

By: Kostas Ifantis

In contrast to the Cold War era the new European order is characterised by uncertainty, fluidity and new security challenges including separatism, ethnic conflict and intra-state conflict. This book examines the process of change and its implications for: transatlantic relations, institutional development, regional stability and NATO's rationale. Balkan instability forms a major theme of the work illustrating the challenge for policy-makers. The book concludes with a discussion of NATO enlargement and relations with Russia.

NATO in the New European Order

By: Fergus Carr,Kostas Ifantis

The European security environment has undergone profound change since 1989. This book examines NATO's response and adjustment to the new security environment. It analyses the process of change in the European order and its effects upon transatlantic relations. The new institutional map of Europe is assessed in its capacity to respond to multilevel security risks. Instability in the Balkans forms a special focus of the book. Finally the question of NATO's enlargement to Eastern Europe is considered."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
