Introduction

The European University Institute was founded in 1972 by the original Member States of the European Community, now the European Union, in order to provide advanced academic training for Ph.D. students and to promote research at the highest level. The Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies (RSCAS) was created in 1992 to develop inter-disciplinary and comparative research and to promote work on the major issues facing the process of integration and European society. I have been Director of the Centre since 2006.

The academic staff of the Centre includes joint chair holders who are also professors in the teaching departments of the Institute (Law, Economics, History and Civilization, and Political and Social Sciences); programme directors, who are responsible for large-scale programmes; part-time professors and research fellows and academic assistants working on the projects and programmes of the Centre. In addition to its own faculty, the Centre hosts a large postdoctoral fellowship programme including Jean Monnet and Marie Curie fellows as well as other publicly and privately funded fellows, and academic and non-academic visiting fellows. The Centre has a core administrative staff and is funded from a variety of sources, including various EU programmes, national agencies, private foundations and the business community.

Our main objectives are to produce high quality research; to collaborate with other centres of research excellence; to provide opportunities for young scholars working in our core research areas; to provide high-level training in our core research areas; and to promote dialogue with the world of practice. To this end, the Centre hosts research programmes and projects, and a range of working groups and ad hoc initiatives. The research agenda is organised around a set of core themes and is continuously evolving, reflecting the changing agenda of European integration and the expanding membership of the European Union.

Currently, the core themes are: European Institutions, Governance and Democracy Migration Economic and Monetary Policy Competition Policy and Market Regulation Energy Policy and Climate Policy Global Governance International and Transnational Relations of the EU The details of the Centre’s research agenda are set out in the following pages, while the most up-to-date information can be found on our web site.

Stefano Bartolini Director of the RSCAS

European Institutions, Governance and Democracy

Research on the political and legal design and the policy performance of European institutions has long been at the core of the Centre’s agenda. Past and present studies have dealt with issues relevant to the debate on EU institutional and constitutional reform; evolution and experimentation in European governance; and issues of democracy and citizens’ participation in EU institutions. A recurrent question has been, of course, the tension between the logic of law and the logic of politics in the EU. Likewise reform has been an issue of long-standing interest to the RSCAS. Our research has continually adjusted to take in developments in the reform process. On-going studies deal with alternative solutions to EU institutional design reform after the failure of the national ratification processes of the draft Constitution, as well as the substantive content of reform.

The Centre has also investigated intentional negotiated change (through Treaty reorganisation and revision), as well as endogenous institutional change arising from the

development of informal rules and the selection of lowerorder rules.

A main research topic in this area is democracy, particularly European democracy. Many studies and research projects at the RSCAS have focused on the challenges and opportunities for democracy in Europe, both at the national and regional levels. Moreover, ever closer attention has been given to the development of democratic institutions and processes at the EU level. This latter focus has become particularly salient since the 2005 referenda on the Constitutional Treaty, which underlined the problem of citizens’ participation in EU integration. Under the Seventh Framework Programme the Centre has coordinated PIREDEU, a design study to set up an infrastructure for research on citizenship, political participation, and electoral democracy in the EU, completed in January 2011. With the creation of the European Union Democracy Observatory (EUDO), coordinated by Alexander H.

Trechsel, the RSCAS consolidates scientific knowledge and policy relevant know-how on EU democracy. Furthermore, EUDO actively engages in research, experimentation, and dissemination activities on issues relating to EU democracy.

Key faculty: RSCAS: Luciano Bardi, Stefano Bartolini, Adrienne Héritier, Bruno de Witte EUI Departments: Rainer Bauböck (SPS), Alexander H. Trechsel (SPS) The European Union Democracy Observatory (EUDO) EUDO consists of four Observatories responsible for data and documentation gathering, directed by EUI professors in conjunction with external experts. The Observatory on Public Opinion, Political Elites and the Media focuses on the attitudes and preferences of electorates, the media and political classes, measuring the way in which these converge or diverge. The Observatory on Political Parties and Representation is devoted to the study of European parties as representative channels, agenda setters and gatekeepers on the uncertain road towards a fully-fledged and effective Euro-party system. The Observatory on Institutional Change and Reforms is devoted to reforms and adaptations in the current institutional EU set-up, particularly those reforms and adaptations that are most likely to foster popular acceptance and legitimacy for the Union. The Observatory on Citizenship, finally, is devoted to the study and development of citizenship in the European Union and its member states and the impact of citizenship on democratic inclusion and participation. In 2011 and 2012 the EUDO Observatories have been involved in a series of projects to provide applied research reports for European and national institutions.

In addition to the four Observatories, the EUDO platform

has three further components: the EUDO Communication and Dissemination Strategy, the EUDO Training and Debate and the EUDO Publication and Data Centre.

The EUDO Communication and Dissemination Strategy has been developed to assure that the work produced within EUDO is disseminated to relevant stakeholders.

This strategy consists of a website which is continually updated; a newsletter which is published three times a year; an annual dissemination conference which brings academics, politicians, citizens groups, and the media together to debate the most pressing issues regarding EU democracy as well as providing an opportunity for EUDO to present the latest research results; an annual report which is circulated widely; and a Facebook and Twitter account.

The EUDO Training and Debate Forum allows EUDO to interact with students and the wider public. It adopts a proactive approach to the dissemination of findings so as to stimulate interdisciplinary dialogue while reaching out to policy makers and politicians as well as to civil society organisations. The EUDO Training and Debate Forum consists of a range of workshops and seminars on specific issues related to EU democracy and an online web café where internal and external experts contribute to a lively debate on a range of issues of interest to EUDO: http://debate.eudo.eu.

The EUDO Publication and Data Centre groups together the hard data on European Democracy produced by EUDO. It includes the EUDO Data Centre, a web-based repository for the distribution and dissemination of quantitative and qualitative data and research results produced or acquired by EUDO projects; the EUDO Working Paper Series, which is a core element of EUDO’s efforts in disseminating high-quality research; a EUDO Report Series, which publishes and brands reports by EUDO under the same banner; and EUDO Spotlight, which focuses on public attitudes towards the most recent issues on the

European political agenda, showing how they affect European democracy. It also draws attention to the individual publications of EUDO researchers, making their findings accessible to the wider community.

Apart from the activities mentioned above, much time is also devoted to streamlining EUDO’s efforts to become a leading and well known hub in EU democracy research.

EUDO is rapidly becoming one of the leading sources that academics, policy-makers and ordinary citizens turn to when they look for information and research on democracy in the EU. In order to achieve this, the inter- and multi-disciplinary character of EUDO will continue to be fostered to create ever more synergies and to conduct joint research projects and studies. Linked to these internal efforts will be external activities, such as inviting more external scholars and research centres, politicians and policy makers as well as civil-society representatives to join the EUDO network and to cooperate with other leading actors in the field.

Further information on EUDO is available at www.eui.eu/Projects/EUDO ACIT: Access to Citizenship and its Impact on Immigrant Integration In January 2012, EUDO CITIZENSHIP launched ACIT, a new research project financed by the European Fund for the Integration of Third-country Nationals. In 18 months, ACIT will generate indicators for citizenship laws, their implementation, acquisition rates and their impact on immigrant integration in all 27 EU Member States and accession candidate and EEA countries (Croatia, Iceland, FYROM Macedonia, Norway, Switzerland, and Turkey).

ACIT will also organize stakeholder dialogues and produce citizenship handbooks in 10 EU member states (Austria, Estonia, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, Spain, United Kingdom). Academic re-

searchers, governments and civil society will obtain data, comparative analyses and practical guidelines on how to evaluate policy outcomes, set targets and good governance standards, and will assess the prospective impact of policy changes. ACIT will contribute to more effective policies and practices for integration and citizenship acquisition by creating authoritative, comprehensive and easy-touse databases, which will foster European information exchange and cooperation. The five consortium partners who will jointly carry out the project are: the European University Institute, the Migration Policy Group (Brussels), University College Dublin, University of Edinburgh and Maastricht University.

FRACIT: Electoral Rights and Participation of Third-country Nationals in EU Member States and of EU Citizens in Third Countries An EUI-led team will prepare a report for the Committee on Constitutional Affairs of the European Parliament. The report will examine electoral rights and the participation of third-country nationals in EU member states and of EU citizens in third countries, including external voting procedures in national and EP elections. The FRACIT project will also discuss problems of the diplomatic protection of EU citizens in countries where their states of origin do not have representations. Research for FRACIT will broaden the thematic coverage of the EUDO CITIZENSHIP observatory from citizenship status to voting rights. EUDO CITIZENSHIP will collaborate in this project with Edinburgh University, University College Dublin, Sussex University and a network of national experts.

Puzzled by Policy EUDO is part of a larger international consortium that won a tender in the framework of the European Commission’s

Rainer Bauböck, Co-director of EUDO Observatory on Citizenship

‘Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme’, ICT Policy Support Programme (Objective Theme 3: ICT for Governance) for a three-year project entitled Puzzled

by Policy. The project aims at informing, consulting, and empowering citizens in immigration policy-making in the EU by providing high-quality information on policy developments and by bringing together citizens and key policy actors to exchange ideas and policy proposals.

Since the inception of Puzzled by Policy in October 2010, EUDO has provided key inputs into the project. The experience gained from the design and implementation of EU Profiler were extremely valuable for the construction of the Puzzled by Policy platform, an online tool for engaging citizens and policy actors in immigration policymaking at the EU level and in four trial EU memberstates (Spain, Italy, Greece and Hungary). Moreover, the Puzzled by Policy team at EUDO was responsible for the conceptualization of immigration policy issues, the mapping of policy developments at the EU and national levels, the documentation of policy positions and proposals of key policy stakeholders, and the design of the Puzzled by Policy profiler. The latter includes a questionnaire on current issues that cover a whole range of immigration policy agendas in the EU, including the movement of highlyskilled workers and students, family reunification, immigrant integration, temporary and seasonal migration, and irregular migration and return.

The Puzzled by Policy platform was launched in February 2012. The platform allows users to graphically compare their views on immigration with national and EU immigration policies, as well as with the opinions of relevant stakeholders. Users are then encouraged to join discussions on particular aspects of immigration policy they feel strongly about. The platform is customized for Greece, Hungary, Italy and Spain, as the trial countries. However the platform is also available in English and discussions

ROBERT SCHUMAN CENTRE FOR ADVANCED STUDIES

can be automatically translated into any language. To ensure accessibility to all users, the Puzzled by Policy widget can be embedded on any website. The platform can be accessed at http://join.puzzledbypolicy.eu/.

Since the launch of the platform, the Puzzled by Policy team at EUDO has directed most of its efforts to the section of the platform that allows users to easily look through views from all stakeholders and contribute to policy debates, feeding this online discussion tool with relevant information on immigration policy developments and providing the relevant links to legislation and other references.

The EUDO team will continue to keep the consortium upto-date concerning on-going changes in immigration policies in the EU and its member-states until the conclusion of the project.

Smaller States in EU Decision-Making: Portugal in Comparative Perspective Although all EU member states are equal before the law, they are unequal in population and resources. In fact, more than two-thirds of the member states are small countries. Since the co-decision processes of the EU usually operate by consensus, the ability of countries to make their voice heard is of paramount importance. In order to influence the policy-making process, small countries need to be informed, in a timely and realistic way.

Funded by the Fundação Francisco Manuel dos Santos (FFMS), Lisbon, this project systematically examines the role of representatives of small countries in the European Union policy-making process, with a special focus on Portugal. This project is led by Richard Rose and Alexander H. Trechsel. Moreover, the FFMS appointed a distinguished advisory committee from the Portuguese public policy community to follow and comment on the reports produced by the research team.

The first of six reports, focusing on how much difference

a country’s size makes, was released in Spring 2012. This report argues that in order to fulfil their goals in an EU setting, small states must rely on ‘smart power’. In other words, these countries need to focus on identifying the European issues that are important for the national interest, formulating national positions on an issue at an early stage of discussions, while building alliances with countries with similar policy positions.

The second report looks at how Portugal’s 22 MEPs can influence policy-making in a Parliament with 751 members. This report includes an analysis of the votes cast by Portuguese MEPs vis-à-vis other national delegations or the European Parliament as a whole, and interviews with former and current Portuguese MEPs. The next reports will deal with: policymaking through the EU’s multi-national networks; the representation of social, economic and civil society interests; and the recruitment of personnel to work in EU institutions.

Political Parties and Representation The Observatory on Political Parties and Representation (OPPR) together with colleagues at the University of Leiden and the University of Düsseldorf, is currently completing a research project on party membership in Europe. This project has gathered data on current levels of membership in 27 European democracies, and a report analysing the data was written by Ingrid van Biezen (Leiden), Peter Mair (EUI) and Thomas Poguntke (Düsseldorf). These data on party membership, disaggregated by country and by party, will be made available on the OPPR website following publication of the paper. OPPR members participate in a joint project led by the Universities of Pisa, Rome and Bologna and financed by the Italian Ministry of Universities (MIUR). The project, named Sistemi elettorali, partiti e personale politico in Italia: 1987-2008 [Electoral Systems, Parties, and Political Personnel in It-

aly: 1987-2008] aims to study the impact of the change of the electoral rules on the quality of candidate and elected politicians. The project is part of the international project Electoral Systems and Party Personnel: The Consequences of Reform and Non-reform, directed by Ellis Krauss, Robert Pekkanen and Matthew Shugart. The OPPR has also monitored the electoral campaigns for parliamentary elections in Greece and in France within the framework of the project Parties as Multi-Level Campaigning Organisations, which can be considered as the infrastructural project of the OPPR. For many years European elections have been considered in the literature as secondary order elections where national parties matter more than EuroParties. This assessment has never really been tested. The OPPR wants to compare national campaigns with the campaigns for the next European elections and clarify whether parties behave in a different way or not.

Media Profiler The EUDO Observatory on Public Opinion collaborates with the Centre on Media Pluralism and Media Freedom (CMPF) for the conceptualization of a Media Profiler. In particular EUDO will help the CMPF to conceive and develop a theoretical framework for assessing the positioning of individual European media organisations in terms of their legal, political, social, geographical, cultural and economic dimensions, resulting in the conceptualization and definition of a group of variables and indicators. The EU-wide media profiler will define a set of propositions (between 15 and 30 statements) referring to public policies and media-related issues. These statements will be derived from a careful in-depth analysis of public debates at EU level, as well as in the 27 EU member states. The Media Profiler team, in close cooperation with European institutions, will collect the relevant information to conceptualize and formulate the propositions, with the involvement

of a group of top level European journalists, together with other relevant stakeholders in the media system. This set of fundamental stylized concepts, once fully agreed upon and tested, will hopefully come to constitute a benchmark for assessing the position of individual European media institutions.

Interstitial Institutional Change This project, funded by the Swedish Institute for European Policy Studies (SIEPS) investigates institutional change in the European Union which takes place between the highly salient formal treaty revisions. More specifically, research at the Centre explores whether, why, how and with what consequences EU legislation is increasingly ‘fast-tracked’ under the co-decision procedure and passed as ‘early agreements’. Another topic of continuous interstitial change relates to the rules governing comitology, i.e. the implementing of the powers of the Commission. The results of this research will be published in a monograph by Oxford University Press.

migration

Migration represents both an opportunity and a challenge.

While well-managed migration may foster progress and welfare in both source and host countries, its mismanagement may put social cohesion, security and sovereignty at risk. Migration is evolving rapidly, and knowledge needs to be constantly updated and shared with policymakers. Due to it being a global phenomenon, its study requires innovative cooperation between scholars around the world.

mission under the Seventh Framework Programme. The project aims to investigate whether European societies have become more or less tolerant during the past 20 years. In particular it examines how tolerance is defined conceptually; how it is codified in norms, institutional arrangements, public policies and social practices; how tolerance can be measured; and how the degree of tolerance of a society across time or of several countries at the same time can be compared (whose tolerance, who is tolerated, and how do degrees of tolerance vary with respect to different minority groups). The project covers 16 EU countries and involves 18 partner institutions. Bringing together empirical and theoretical findings, ACCEPT PLURALISM aims its output at diverse audiences. The publication Addressing Cultural, Ethnic & Religious Diversity Challenges in Europe: A Comparative Overview of 15 European Countries and the project’s Policy Briefs target policy makers, NGOs and practitioners. The Handbook

on Ideas of Tolerance and Cultural Diversity in Europe is intended for use by teachers and teacher trainers working in the field of intercultural education at upper high school level. The project is currently developing a Tolerance Indicators’ Toolkit, where qualitative and quantitative indicators may be used to score each country’s performance on tolerating/accepting cultural diversity. This Toolkit will be aimed to policy makers and civil society actors while a book on tolerance, pluralism and cultural diversity in Europe and several other project publications are mainly aimed at an academic readership.

Further information is available from the project’s web site: www.accept-pluralism.eu The Cross-Regional Information System on the Reintegration of Migrants in their Countries of Origin (CRIS) CRIS is funded by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation and directed by Jean-Pierre Cassarino. It aims to critically address the factors and conditions shaping returnees’ patterns of reintegration in their countries of origin. It is part of the Return Migration and Development Platform (RDP, http://rsc.eui.eu/RDP/). Field surveys, based on face-to-face interviews with return migrants are now completed in Armenia and Mali, whereas fieldwork is rapidly progressing in Tunisia. More than 350 interviews will be carried out in each surveyed country for a total of 1050 interviews. Once validated, data will be thematically analysed and studied. Field data constitute a building-block of the CRIS project. They provide an immediate vision of return migrants’ aspirations and realities back home and allow much-needed synthetic indicators to be identified. To enhance data accessibility and analysis, a training course addressed to migration stakeholders and the academia is organized in November 2012, in cooperation with the International Training Centre of the ILO

(ITC-ILO, Turin). In 2013, seminars and conferences will take place mobilising scholars and the world of practice.

Migration Policy Centre The Migration Policy Centre (MPC) conducts advanced research on global migration to serve migration governance needs at European level, from developing, implementing and monitoring migration-related policies to assessing their impact on the wider economy and society.

The MPC conducts field as well as archival research, both of which are scientifically robust and policy-relevant at European and global levels, targeting policy-makers as well as politicians. This research provides tools for addressing migration challenges by: 1) producing policy-oriented research on aspects of migration, asylum and mobility in Europe and in countries located along migration routes to Europe; 2) bridging research with action by providing policy-makers and other stakeholders with results required by evidence-based policy-making, as well as necessary methodologies that address migration governance needs; and 3) pooling scholars, experts, policy makers, and influential thinkers to identify problems, research their causes and consequences, and devise policy solutions.

The MPC’s research includes a core programme and several projects, most of them co-financed by the European Union.

Complete information on the Migration Policy Centre can be found at www.migrationpolicycentre.eu Core Programme for 2012-2013 The economic crisis in Europe on the one hand, and the radical political changes unfolding in the Arab region on the other hand, can be expected to critically impact migration in several ways. The levels, trends and patterns of migratory flows, the relationship between migrants and the countries of origin and destination, as well as opinions and policies on migration-related matters in the EU and its neighbour-

hood all may be affected. As the direction and magnitude of these impacts are far from clear, research is needed to allow evidence-based policymaking, to build informed scenarios and to formulate policy recommendations.

More specifically, with regard to the economic crisis in Europe, the MPC concentrates on the relationship between immigration and welfare systems, employment, innovation and the outsourcing of jobs. All these topics are dealt with taking into account the origin as well as the destination countries of migrants. Concerning the Arab spring, the MPC focuses on the impact that currently unfolding events may produce on migratory movements, as well as on the way in which migration stakeholders in the Arab region and new governments envision migration and migration-related issues (including the link with diasporas), and on opinions and intentions of the youth. The MPC produces informed scenarios of the short- and long-term consequences of Arab uprisings on migratory movements both originating in, and destined to, the Arab region.

Other core topics include Africa’s potential for migration and Europe’s place in the world, bringing the MPC to develop research activities in the regions of the world which are most important to the EU. MPC Projects Consortium for Applied Research on International Migration (CARIM-South) CARIM was created at the EUI in 2004 and co-financed by the EU. It aims to observe, analyse, and forecast migration in 17 countries of the Southern & Eastern Mediterranean (SEM) and Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA): Algeria, Chad, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Mali, Mauritania, Morocco, Niger, Palestine, Senegal, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, and Turkey. All are studied as origin, transit and destination countries. Its team is composed of a coordinating unit established at the EUI, and a network of more than 90 sci-

entific correspondents based in the countries under observation. The project’s database covers three major dimensions of migration. Firstly the demographic and economic module contains a wide range of statistics on migration, secondly the legal module contains the legal provisions directly or indirectly linked to international migration, and its causes and consequences and thirdly the socio-political module contains documents from governmental and nongovernmental institutions which play a role in defining migration-related policies. CARIM has published around 300 studies and reports that together form a unique source of knowledge on migration south of the Mediterranean.

Creating an Observatory of Migration East of Europe (CARIM-East) The project, co-financed by the EU, is carried out by the EUI in partnership with the University of Warsaw (CMR), jointly with a network of correspondents in the target countries: Belarus, Republic of Moldova, Ukraine, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Russian Federation, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan. Its database is structured into three modules, similar to those of the CARIM South project. The research activities are conducted on two levels: national and regional. They focus on specific themes, such as border management, irregular migration from, through and into Eastern Europe, South Caucasus and Russian Federation; asylum seekers, refugees and mixed flows; circular migration in post-Soviet states; the international labour market and its implications for source and destinations areas; development, remittances and highly skilled mobility; environmental change and population movements; mobility in the context of political and economic transition.

Developing a Knowledge Base for Policymaking on India-EU Migration (CARIM-India) This project, co-financed by the EU, is carried out by the EUI in partnership with the Indian Council of Overseas

Employment, (ICOE), the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore Association, (IIMB), and Maastricht University.

The action is aimed at consolidating a constructive dialogue between the EU and India on migration covering all migration-related aspects. The action has three main objectives. The first is to assemble high-level Indian-EU expertise in major disciplines that deal with migration (demography, economics, law, sociology and politics) with a view to building up migration studies in India. The second is to provide the Government of India as well as the EU, its Member States, the academia and civil society, with reliable, updated and comparative information on migration and in-depth analyses on India-EU highly-skilled and circular migration, as well as on low-skilled and irregular migration. Finally, the third objective is to make research serve action by connecting experts with both policy-makers and the wider public through respectively policy-oriented research, training courses, and outreach programmes.

Researching Third Country Nationals’ Integration as a Three-Way Process - Immigrants, Countries of Emigration and Countries of Immigration as Actors of Integration (INTERACT) This project, co-financed by the EU, is carried out by the EUI in partnership with the Migration Policy Institute (Brussels), Université de Liège and Universitat Pompeu Fabra (Barcelona).

Policy-making on integration is commonly regarded as primarily a matter of concern for the receiving state, with general disregard for the role of the sending state. However, migrants belong to two places: first, where they come from and second, where they now live. While integration takes place in the latter, migrants maintain a variety of links with the former. New means of communication facilitating contact between migrants and their homes, globalisation

bringing greater cultural diversity to host countries, and nation-building in source countries seeing expatriate nationals as a strategic resource have all transformed the way migrants interact with their home country.

Governments and non-governmental institutions in origin countries, including the media, play an important role in making transnational bonds a reality, and have developed a range of tools to do so. Economic tools boost financial transfers and investments. Cultural tools are meant to maintain or revive cultural heritage. Political tools expand constituencies. Finally, legal tools are aimed at supporting rights.

This project covers all 27 EU member states and 59 third countries with each more than 100,000 emigrants in the EU27.

Building Knowledge for a Concerted and Sustainable Approach of Resettlement in the EU and its Member States (Know Reset) The general objective of the project, executed in partnership with the European Council on Refugees and Exiles (ECRE) is to construct the knowledge-base necessary for good policy-making in the domain of refugee resettlement in the EU and its 27 member states. Its rationale is to identify the ways in which refugee resettlement in the EU can be quantitatively extended and qualitatively improved. The team involved in the project is composed of members of the EUI’s and ECRE’s large networks, and has launched a systematic and comparative inventory of legal and policy frameworks and actual practices related to resettlement in the EU and its 27 member states, in order to provide the most up-to-date set of information. The publication of comparative data and the dissemination of the research results will contribute to raising awareness about refugee resettlement and refugee protection in the EU, and will provide a knowledge-tool for policy-makers,

institutions and non-governmental stakeholders in the EU and countries of first asylum. Field surveys are done in three countries of first asylum for refugees, namely Kenya, Tunisia and Pakistan, and will add to the knowledge and the assessment of resettlement practices of refugees from countries of first asylum to the EU. The project is co-funded by the EU. Migration in the Mediterranean and CIS Countries (MIGMEDCIS) The overall objective of the project is to bring together international and interdisciplinary research teams for the purpose of forming a network for research and transfer of knowledge in the area of international migration. The project is co-financed by the EU. Migration phenomena are similar across the world and there are many tools to investigate them that can be used successfully in various geographic areas. Promoting a universal scientific approach, the project is going to circumvent the geographical and political fragmentation of this study area, focusing instead on commonalities across three migration systems. These are: EU – Mediterranean countries; Russian Federation – Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and Georgia; and EU – CIS, including EU – Russian Federation and EU – other CIS and Georgia.

Gulf Labour Mobility and Migration (GLMM) In cooperation with the Gulf Research Centre (Dubai and Geneva), the Migration Policy Centre seeks to expand the CARIM system of observatory into the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), which together with the North America and the EU are the world’s largest areas of immigration. Activities will include setting up a database containing statistics, legislations and policy documents; implementing strategic policy research on the

most relevant matters; creating and maintaining a network of experts; and organising research seminars (the Annual Gulf Research Meeting at the University of Cambridge).

ACP Observatory on Migration (ACPOM) The Migration Policy Centre is a member of the African, Caribbean and Pacific Observatory on Migration, led by the International Organization for Migration and financed by the EU. It coordinates two research studies on ‘Internal Displacement and Rights of the Displaced in Haiti’ and ‘Facilitation of Intra-Regional Labour Migration in the ECOWAS Region’. The first study aims to define the needs of Internally Displaced Persons in Haiti in the aftermath of the earthquake of January 2010, in terms of rights and human development. The second study examines labour migration within the Freedom Area of the ECOWAS and aims, in particular, at strengthening the labour migration components in development policies.

Migration Summer School Since 2005, this yearly event is co-financed by the EU and has been co-organised with the University of Florence. It offers advanced training in migration studies to professionals, administrators and researchers working in the field, focusing on the EU and its neighbourhood. The School analyses the interactions of the regions of origin and the regions of destination; migration policies and the regulation of migration; and processes of integration. The School explores the critical elements of international migration, the integration of immigrants in the destination country, and the problems generated in the country of origin. Participants are encouraged to translate perceived societal problems into social scientific research questions, and to contribute to the solution of these problems by combining insights from demographic, economic, legal and sociological approaches.

Economic and Monetary Policy

The development of the European Union has important implications for the design and outcomes of economic policy. This is the case with the adoption of a single currency and a monetary policy in the Euro-zone, and the related required institutional developments, but also with regard to policy issues concerning taxation, regulation, labour markets, the welfare state and the environment, both at the national and European level. Our goal is to study economic policy issues relevant for the global economy, with particular attention to the old and new European economies.

The main focus is on monetary integration in the European Monetary Union (EMU) under the auspices of the Pierre Werner Chair Programme on Monetary Union.

We are also concerned with issues related to the stability, efficiency and regulation of the financial system.

Related to these areas, another main topic of research is economic stabilisation and the design of fiscal and mon-

13

etary policy. Important questions are the required level of fiscal policy coordination, how to increase the credibility of fiscal policy, how to address the debt problem, to what extent do these issues impact on the conduct of monetary policy, and what are the effects of unconventional monetary policy and of the new financial and macro-prudential set-up in the euro area. Other relevant topics for research include to what extent the European economies share a common business cycle and how this feature and more generally the sources and propagation mechanisms have changed over time, and which policies could be undertaken to increase homogeneity in the area.

We are also interested in public policy issues relevant for national economies and the international economy. These include longer-term, public-finance issues of taxation policy, pension reform, development and international environmental policy (e.g. markets for pollution permits).

Our ambition is to carry out academic research with

policy relevance for Europe and more broadly the global economy, promoting interaction among economists, lawyers, political scientists, sociologists and historians.

Key faculty RSCAS: Elena Carletti, Massimiliano Marcellino, Youssef Cassis, Giovanni Federico, Giorgia Giovannetti EUI Departments: Evi Pappa (ECO), Fabio Canova (ECO) Pierre Werner Chair Programme on Monetary Union Named in memory of Pierre Werner, one of the architects of economic and monetary union, this programme was established in 2002 with funding generously provided by the Luxembourg Government. Giancarlo Corsetti held the chair from September 2003 to September 2010, and Massimiliano Marcellino has held it since September 2011. The principal focus of the programme is on economic policy and the political economy of European monetary integration. The programme aims at identifying policy priorities consistent with the new European economic constitution, as well as factors that can foster economic growth and prosperity in a stable macroeconomic environment at both regional and global level. EUI faculty, post-doctoral fellows and researchers, and a range of external collaborators contribute to the programme’s activities. A key goal is pedagogical, with the production and promotion of texts clarifying the logic and mechanisms of European policies for non-specialists such as students, scholars and practitioners. In 2006, the programme launched a fellowship programme, sponsoring joint work by policy researchers and academics with an interest in carrying out research on EMU. The Pierre Werner Chair has also promoted two research projects in policy modelling and analysis at the European level, with a network of leading European academic and policy institutions.

ties has been intensified on policy issues raised by global imbalances, especially as regards the design of optimal monetary policy in a global world. In 2006, a long-term project on monetary and fiscal policy interactions was launched, involving a network of EUI alumni, promoting analyses of fiscal stabilisation policies at both theoretical and empirical levels. In 2011 and 2012 the Pierre Werner Chair has organised a number of activities aimed at understanding the sources, propagation mechanisms and consequences of the financial crisis, and the related policy responses. In 2011 Yves Mersch, Governor of the Central Bank of Luxembourg, gave the Pierre Werner Lecture on the Economic and Monetary Union.

Further information: www.eui.eu/Projects/PierreWernerChair European Forecasting Network The European Forecasting Network, ‘A Network of European Research Institutes for Forecasting and Policy Analysis in the Monetary Union’, was created to provide a critical analysis of the current economic situation in the Euro area, short-term forecasts of the main macroeconomic and financial variables, policy advice, and in-depth study of topics of particular relevance for the working of the EMU. The network brings together the economic expertise of Departments of Economics (Carlos III, the European University Institute, University of Cambridge), the quantitative skills of Departments of Statistics and Econometrics (University of Barcelona, Carlos III), and the practical experience of research centres (CEPII and the Halle Institute for Economic Research). Each of them contributes in an original way to the development and to the release of analyses of the economic situation and outlook for the Euro area, in the form of quarterly reports.

The network is coordinated at the RSCAS by Massimiliano Marcellino.

Other Work in Progress Elena Carletti’s current projects concern the role of liquidity in financial crises, the functioning of interbank markets and central bank intervention, the link between competition and financial stability, financial regulation and merger valuation. Furthermore, she is working on African financial access and development as well as on the role of corporate governance for firm valuation.

Youssef Cassis’ current work focuses on the historical background to economic and monetary policy, with projects on the history of global financial crises and on the transformations of the international systems since 1945.

Competition Policy and Market Regulation

Competition Policy is one of the pillars of the internal market and a centrepiece of the ‘Economic Constitution’ of the European Union. It is one of the Union’s success stories because it has increasingly focused upon ensuring that consumers benefit from competitive markets, in two ways. First by targeting cartels, restrictive practices, and abuses of market power by firms operating on the European market, and secondly by monitoring market regulation by Member States to ensure that it is compatible with the rules on free movement and with a system of open markets and undistorted competition more generally. The RSCAS has long been at the forefront of research with regard to important developments in competition policy and the (ambivalent) role of regulation in creating or restraining competition. This research concerns the fundamental issues of competition policy – its goals within the European Union, the underpinning legal and economic principles, the structure of legal rules

– and covers the whole field ranging from anticompetitive agreements to rules regarding market power, merger control, competition rules addressed to the Member States, state aid rules and public procurement rules. In the area of market regulation, the topics dealt with by the Centre range from the legitimacy, structure, failure and successes of ‘regulation for competition’ that we observe in liberalised markets like energy and telecommunications, to the issue of ‘private regulation’ with its potentially problematic competitive effects, to market regulation in the area of corporate law and financial market rules. An important initiative in this field is the Florence School of Regulation, created in 2004 as a platform for examining issues of European regulation.

Florence School of Regulation (FSR) The FSR focuses on the regulation of the energy sector (electricity and gas), with a special focus on EU energy law and policy, the regulation of the communications and media sector (since 2009) and the regulation of the transport sector (since 2010). The FSR’s objective is to expose the European dimension of these regulatory topics and to contribute to the safeguarding of the common good of Europe by ensuring high-level and independent debate and research on economically and socially sound regulation.

The Florence School of Regulation provides a European forum where academics and practitioners can meet and share their views and knowledge. It does so by providing state-of-the-art training and encouraging knowledge sharing with the most up-to-date training tools; organizing policy events, conferences and executive seminars that deal with key regulatory issues; promoting international networking through knowledge and practice exchange; and doing analytical and empirical research in the field of regulation.

The Florence School of Regulation was founded in 2004 as a partnership between the European University Institute and the Council of the European Energy Regulators (CEER) and it works closely with the European Commission. The School is directed by Jean-Michel Glachant who is also responsible for the FSR’s area on energy regulation.

Pier Luigi Parcu directs the communications and media area, and Matthias Finger directs the area on transport.

The School receives generous contributions from regulated and non-regulated network companies. Other core collaborators include Ignacio Pérez-Arriaga (research project leader at MIT, FSR Director of Training); Leigh Hancher (Tilburg University, Director of the FSR’s area on energy law), and Alberto Pototschnig (director of ACER), who is responsible for the FSR’s energy regulatory workshops.

In addition to its directors and scientific advisers, the FSR

is composed of three dozen researchers from all over Europe and it produces academic work on regulatory topics. The Florence School of Regulation has published numerous books and articles in peer-reviewed journals, as well as research reports and policy briefs. The School also publishes its own working paper series with contributions from its researchers and other leading experts of the field.

In 2011 the School organised about four dozen workshops and training courses, with courses organised in various formats (annual e-learning, webinars, summer schools, one-week intensive training courses, ad hoc training for the European Commission and national regulatory authorities). Participants in our workshops and training courses come from more than 50 different countries, including EU member states as well as countries in Southeast Europe and the Mediterranean basin. The FSR is also increasingly involved in regulation at the world level. The FSR manages the International Energy Regulation Network (IERN) that supports the ‘World Forum on Energy Regulation’. The first ever worldwide association of energy regulators (International Confederation of Energy Regulators, ICER) was created in autumn 2009 at the IVth World Forum, and is hosted at the FSR. The FSR also supports the Mediterranean Network of Energy Regulators (MedReg).

Further information is available at: http://fsr.eui.eu Centre for Media Pluralism and Media Freedom (CMPF) The Centre for Media Pluralism and Media Freedom, cofinanced by the European Union, is a further step in the EU’s on-going effort to improve protection of media pluralism and media freedom in Europe and to establish what actions need to be taken at European and/or national levels to foster these objectives. The CMPF, directed by Pier Luigi Parcu, is based on a residential team of researchers

and is supported by a group of experts. The activities and the structure of the Centre are characterized by a European vision and an interdisciplinary approach to the issues of media pluralism and freedom.

The objectives of the CMPF are to enhance awareness of the importance of media pluralism and freedom; to contribute to its protection and promotion; and to develop new ideas among academics, policy makers, regulators, market stakeholders, journalists and other professionals directly involved in the media industry.

The CMPF carries out four main types of activities in the areas of research, debate, training and education, and dissemination. Research activities are developed in three main ways. First is the RSCAS Working Paper series on ‘Freedom and Pluralism of the Media, Society and Markets’. Second is through specific policy reports: the 2012 policy report will be centred on the Commission’s competences with respect to media pluralism and media freedom. The third approach is through the establishment of an Observatory on Media Pluralism and Freedom, which engages in the drafting of best practices reports and the conceptualization of a Media Profiler along the lines of the EU Profiler. Debate activities at the CMPF are structured through workshops and an annual policy conference which will discuss the 2012 policy report. Training and Education activities are pursued through a series of academic seminars on ‘Freedom and Pluralism of the Media in Europe’, as well as through a Summer School for journalists and media practitioners. This latter aims at identifying and shaping a common culture and approach to freedom and pluralism of media across Europe, based on theoretical principles and best practices as well as on the exchange of ideas and points of view. Finally, activities supporting the Dissemination of Results and Outcomes are pursued through the CMPF’s website (http:// cmpf.eui.eu), its newsletter, and through its participation in the main social networks.

ENTRANCE After completion of the first edition of ENTRANCE (Training of National Judges in EC Competition Law: European Networking and Training for National Competition Enforcers), a training project for national judges on European Competition Law, financed by the European Commission, ENTRANCE 2012 starts in November 2012.

This project aims at training the national judges of the EU Member States from Central and Eastern Europe which joined the EU in 2004 and 2007, as well as of countries from Western Balkans. Twenty judges will take part in the training course focusing on competition law enforcement in liberalized regulated network industries and State aids rules. ENTRANCE 2013 will focus on the economic theories underpinning the enforcement of competition law and the use of economic experts’ evidence.

Other Work in Progress Adrienne Héritier, jointly with David Coen, University College London, and Nikoleta Yordanova, University of Mannheim, works on the changes in regulatory policies (network utilities) in EU member states with a particular emphasis on the interaction between regulators and regulated firms. She is at present conducting a large survey of network firms of all sectors in all member states under the theme of ‘regulatory venue shopping’. The data have been collected and are at present being analysed and interpreted in the light of hypotheses on regulatory venue shopping. For about two years Adrienne Héritier, jointly with Yannis Karagiannis from the Institute for Advanced Studies in Vienna, has been conducting research on the regulation of civil aviation, in particular the emergence of regulatory transatlantic institutions in the field of civil aviation. The main focus is on the negotiation of an Open Skies Agreement between the EU and the US on the opening of aviation markets across the Atlantic.

Energy Policy and Climate Policy

Energy topics and climate change directly affect European citizens—we all use energy in our daily lives and the type of energy used is a crucial element in fighting climate change. Common visions and actions are needed on a European scale to develop a secure, sustainable and competitive energy market. Comparative and interdisciplinary research on energy and climate policy from the European perspective is much needed. At the RSCAS the Loyola de Palacio Chair, the THINK project and the Climate Policy Research Unit all contribute to the debate and research on a European energy policy and climate policy.

Key faculty RSCAS: Denny Ellerman, Jean-Michel Glachant, Pippo Ranci Loyola de Palacio Chair on EU Energy Policy The Loyola de Palacio Chair is the academic counterpart of the Florence School of Regulation – Energy. Founded

in 2008, the Chair honours Loyola de Palacio (19502006), the former Vice-President of the European Commission and Commissioner for Energy and Transport (1999-2004). The goal of the Loyola de Palacio Chair is to produce in-depth research and publications of the highest quality relating to EU energy governance. Academic research is carried out in the interconnected fields of economics, law, energy regulation and the geo-politics of energy. Examples include the EU climate policy, gas and electricity market design, grid regulation, EU-Mediterranean RES energy exchange, incentive regulation as well as the economics of global governance.

The Chair’s fields of expertise and close connection to academic institutions, researchers and European and national energy communities allow us to contribute to current debate and to be a bridge between academia and practice.

Our research is published in peer-reviewed journals and books, as well as working papers, policy briefs and blogs.

Our researchers edit several international journals and books, including the annual EU Energy Law and Policy Yearbook Series. Jean-Michel Glachant is Chief Editor of the EEEP - Economics of Energy and Environmental Policy; Denny Ellerman has been appointed co-editor of the REEP - Review of Environmental Economics and Policy; Nicole Ahner is Member of the Editorial Board and JeanMichel Glachant of the Advisory Board of the EEJ - European Energy Journal.

In the framework of its annual research project the Loyola de Palacio Chair evaluates crucial areas of EU energy policy. The aim is to identify possible deficiencies, promote discussion and to highlight potential areas for improvement. The 2012 project focuses on the ‘Mediterranean Energy Markets: The Exchange of Energy from Renewable Sources between the EU and the Mediterranean Basin’.

Previous projects addressed ‘A Smart EU Energy Policy’, ‘The Interrelation between Network Regulation and Climate Policies’, ‘A Schengening of EU Energy Policy’, and ‘A New EU Gas Security of Supply Architecture’.

The Loyola de Palacio Chair’s ad hoc research groups undertake applied research on actual energy issues to produce ‘ready to use’ regulatory or policy principles. One is the Incentive Regulation Unit, and the other is the Market Design Unit, both directed by Jean-Michel Glachant. The Chair hosts the Climate Policy Research Unit, established in 2010 and directed by Denny Ellerman, formerly Senior Lecturer at MIT’s Sloan School of Management.

Finally, the Loyola de Palacio Chair provides for a mapping of current EU energy policy research activities. The key tool here is our own Working Paper series containing the work of leading scholars in the field. This series is supplemented by the Loyola de Palacio Chair’s Book Series.

Moreover, we aim at stimulating the quality of work by young researchers in the EU. The Chair promotes research seminars organised by a nexus of European universities

20

ROBERT SCHUMAN CENTRE FOR ADVANCED STUDIES

associated informally in the ‘Young Energy Engineers & Economists Seminar (YEEES)’. The Chair also created two research prizes awarded annually for the best Ph.D. and the best paper. Finally, the Chair runs a regular interdisciplinary seminar series, SCORE, covering the areas of energy, communications and media and transport where young researchers present and discuss their work in progress.

Jean-Michel Glachant has held the Chair since its foundation in 2008.

For further information: www.Loyola-de-Palacio-Chair.eu Energy Think Tank (THINK) Think Tank Hosting an Interdisciplinary Network to provide Knowledge support to EU Energy Policy Making – Advising the European Commission on Energy Policy (THINK) THINK is a three-year project (June 2010 – May 2013) financed by the EU Seventh Framework Programme.

THINK’s remit is to produce two reports every six months, i.e. twelve reports in total for DG Energy, European Commission. DG Energy prioritizes the topics of the reports periodically so that it receives policy advice where it is most needed when it is needed. Each of the reports follows the same process with two important milestones. The first milestone is an expert hearing after two months where the robustness of the preliminary think­ing on a topic is tested with energy experts. The second milestone is a meeting with the THINK Scientific Council (composed of 23 academic experts) after three months to scrutinize the first draft of the report.

A permanent research team supports the process, which begins with a set of slides for the Expert Hearing, followed by a draft report for the Scientific Council meeting, and a final report by the end of the semester. For each report, the

team re­ceives guidance from at least three members of the Scientific Council, one functioning as project leader, and two functioning as project advisors.

The research team is based at the RSCAS and directed by Jean-Michel Glachant.

The European University Institute is the coordinator of the project and partner institutions include University of Leuven, Comillas University of Madrid, Bocconi University, University of Budapest, Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei, Institute of Communication and Computer Systems, Technical University of Lodz, Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, University of Oslo, Berlin University of Technology, and Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale.

Eight reports have been produced during the first two years of the project. The first six reports are gathered in the THINK mid-term booklet THINK half-way and beyond, which can be downloaded from the project web site http://www.eui.eu/Projects/THINK/ Climate Policy Research Unit Established in 2010, the Climate Policy Research Unit (CPRU) is a new research area of the Loyola de Palacio Chair. Its activities are integrated with those of the energy and regulatory policy research work of the Florence School of Regulation and the Global Governance Programme. As of 2012, the Climate Policy Research Unit has been funded primarily by the European Commission (DG Cli­mate Action). Its main goal is to provide a reliable source of information, analysis and ex-post evaluation of EU climate policies both for European policy-makers and nations outside Europe.

In particular, the Climate Policy Research Unit evaluates climate policies implemented by the European Union and its Member States; provides a forum for discussion of climate policies in Europe involving governments, academia

21

ROBERT SCHUMAN CENTRE FOR ADVANCED STUDIES

and industry through ad hoc workshops and an annual Climate Policy Conference in Florence; establishes a Climate Policy Research Network with like-minded researchers at EU Member State universities and research centres; and maintains an outreach programme consisting of the publication of research papers and a website provid­ing access to the research output of the Climate Policy Research Unit and the associated university-based Cli­mate Policy Research Network.

The distinguishing feature of the CPRU’s research is its focus on the ex-post evaluation of EU climate policies. Europe has advanced farther than any other country or region in the world in terms of imple­menting climate policies. These policies have now been in effect long enough for meaningful ex-post evaluations to be conducted. The research is concerned with the implementation of EU climate policies, how they react with one another and with other policy objectives, their effectiveness in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the implications of the multinational implementation of these policies for global climate governance and, not least, the financial implications. The objectives of this research are two-fold. Firstly, within Europe, it aims to provide European policy-makers and the policy community in general with solid data, analyses and assessments of existing policies. Secondly, outside of Eu­ rope, it aims to inform the understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of European climate policy experiments to avoid leaving the field open to wilful misrepresentation of the European state of affairs by opponents. The CPRU is directed by Denny Ellerman.

Global Governance

Global governance is a term difficult to define. In part, its success in academic and policy discourse results precisely from its capacity to embrace very different global phenomena and institutions. The starting point of global governance is a growing recognition that an increased number of issues can no longer be governed at the state level and requires some form of transnational governance. In fact, a variety of institutional actors, other than states and inter-governmental organizations, increasingly play a crucial role in global governance, by articulating alternative modes of governance, formulating the global agenda, and creating spaces to make decisions that should produce the sublimation of the relations among geopolitical and economic actors. For Europe to play an important role in shaping global governance, it is essential to strengthen and mobilise its existent critical mass on this subject, at a research and policy level.

Of the myriad issues calling for global governance, the Global Governance Programme (GGP) focuses its re-

22

ROBERT SCHUMAN CENTRE FOR ADVANCED STUDIES

search, in particular, on Modes of Global Governance, Development Policies, International Trade, Climate Policies, Global Economics and Cultural Diversity in a Globalised World. The GGP addresses these issues, sharing knowledge and developing new ideas, and serving as a bridge between research and policy-making.

Key faculty RSCAS: Stefano Bartolini, Denny Ellerman, Giorgia Giovannetti, Miguel Maduro, Petros Mavroidis The Global Governance Programme The Global Governance Programme (GGP) is research turned into action. It links research to policy-making in three different ways: it conducts policy-oriented research through its research strands; it brings policy-makers in contact with scholars and researchers at the High-Level Policy Seminars; and it offers executive and policy-orient-

ed training through the Academy of Global Governance.

The GGP provides a European setting to conduct research at the highest level and promote synergies between the worlds of research and policy-making to generate ideas and identify creative and innovative solutions to global challenges. The GGP engages worldwide top scholars, fellows and researchers with strong and specialised knowledge in various global governance domains to expand the pool of academic expertise and to advance policy-oriented research and analysis on issues as diverse as human rights, international trade, development, climate change, internet governance, and regional integration.

The GGP organizes debates with the aim of offering a stage for experts representing diverging viewpoints on issues of global relevance to confront each other and debate with an audience of scholars, practitioners, policy-makers.

In High-Level Policy Seminars (HLPS) the Programme brings together world thinkers and leaders to promote real exchanges and synergies between the worlds of research and policy. Since its first HLPS in 2010 on the EU agenda for global governance, the GGP has convened top policy-makers and scholars to discuss guidelines and recommendations to develop policy proposals on issues such as the aftermath of the 2007 financial crisis, the democratic governance of the Euro, international trade in a post-Doha scenario and the role of courts in social change and judicial independence. The President of the European Commission, José Manuel Durão Barroso, the Vice-President of the European Central Bank, Vitor Constâncio, the Legal Adviser of the US State Department, Harold Hongju Koh, the Deputy Director-Generals of the World Trade Organization, Harsha Vardhana Singh and Rufus H. Yerxa, have been among our participants.

With the Academy of Global Governance (AGG) the GGP offers executive and policy-oriented training on diverse key issues linked to its research strands and targeted to

the leaders of the future. Building on the EUI’s unique intellectual reputation, on the top-level speakers, but most importantly on the highly qualified participants from all over the world, the AGG represents an exceptional setting to exchange ideas and experiences, as well as an enriching networking opportunity.

The GGP intends to contribute to the debate underpinning some of the most relevant issues of the present time.

In only three years since its establishment, the Programme has produced over thirty Working Papers and Policy Papers resulting from research or from workshops and policy debates and published in the RSCAS series. Following the High-Level Policy Seminars the GGP also produces Policy Briefs to provide hands-on background information and policy recommendations to policy makers and to a wider non-academic audience on the issues discussed.

The GGP also disseminates a biannual electronic newsletter (published in June and December) to keep its growing network updated on the Programme’s activities and publications.

To further augment debate and increase the knowledge and understanding of global issues, the Programme has created the GGP Network, a dynamic virtual community of scholars, policy experts and institutions. Members exchange research, policy analysis and commentary taking cue from international meetings, news but also from publications.

Miguel Poiares Maduro is the Director of the Global Governance Programme.

Development Policy The development group at the RSCAS has recently coordinated two flagship reports which are the main outcome of the Mobilizing European Research for Development Policy initiative, promoted and financed by the European Commission and seven EU member states (Finland, France, Germany, Luxembourg, Spain, Sweden and the UK). The

aim of the initiative was to refine the EU vision on development and impact on European policy on the basis of better knowledge, innovation and a common ground between the research community and policy makers.

The first edition of the European Report on Development (ERD2009 – Overcoming Fragility) focused on various dimensions of state fragility, on its implications for development policy and on the approaches to tackle fragility in a context of increasing uncertainty. The focus was on Sub Saharan Africa. The second Report (ERD2010 - Social Protection for Inclusive Development) examined the need and potential for expanding social protection, its feasibility, affordability and likely development impact. While the focus was again on Sub Saharan Africa, a number of successful experiences in Latin America and South East Asia were reviewed with the aim of learning lessons on design, possible preconditions, and implementation of specific programmes. The EUI also contributed to the third European Report on Development (ERD2012 - Confronting Scarcity) by preparing a background document on issues related to land grabbing and biofuel investments in Sub Saharan Africa. An important outcome of the Reports has been the network of contacts that resulted from conferences, commissioned papers, and field research.

The GGP’s research strand on development policy, which is coordinated by Giorgia Giovannetti, builds on the work done for the ERD reports and on the associated research networks which were established. It is currently pursuing three research lines.

The first research and policy area is development finance, broadly defined to include domestic resource mobilisation as well as foreign aid and other external capital flows. In the aftermath of the economic and financial crisis of 2007 and of the on-going EU debt crisis, the need to understand the recent evolution of the aid effectiveness agenda analysing existing programs is higher than ever. The crises

24

ROBERT SCHUMAN CENTRE FOR ADVANCED STUDIES

have made external capital flows extremely volatile and have left some donors unable or unwilling to honour their aid commitments: there is thus a search for new windows of opportunity. Moreover, new sources of development finance, such as those related to environmental taxation, currency transactions tax and new philanthropy among others are rapidly emerging as an outstanding alternative to traditional and volatile aid flows for many developing countries. Against this new emerging landscape for financing development, it is important to take stock of what we have learnt so far in the broad field of development finance, to delve deeper into the new modalities and mechanisms for financing development and take a fresh look at a broad range of policy issues.

Trade policy – also studied in the international trade research strand coordinated by Petros C. Mavroidis – is another area of interest which has many connections with global governance. Research is centred on how the trade policies of developed countries, and the EU in particular, could be more supportive of poverty reduction and inclusive growth in developing economies. This work aims at building a foundation for broad support for open trade policies in key developed and emerging markets.

Finally, we continue to focus on countries in situations of fragility and/or conflict. Besides examining how developed countries can best assist fragile states (and their citizens) in the long run, providing stable and reliable funds, further research is important to understand the transition from immediate post-conflict assistance to longer-term development assistance. This strand of research is particularly relevant as it integrates the two topics analysed for ERD 2009 and 2010, assessing whether it is possible to find an efficient way to have social protection programmes in fragile countries, which are most in need of protection, but do not have a state capable or willing to supply adequate social services to their populations. Furthermore, for donors it

is difficult to provide budget support for lack of political ownership and domestic administrative capacity. Issues related to financial sustainability of social protection programmes and institutional and administrative capacity of countries are the core of the current research in this area.

Globalisation Database The Globalisation Database (GDB) collects and unites the most important statistical resources on trends in globalisation that add to the understanding of fundamental developments at global and international level. It seeks to provide figures for all 193 UN member states that give insight into the multi-dimensional and multi-level changes in core areas most strongly exposed to and impacted on by globalisation. By doing so, it will help to better understand the changes and developments that affect the increasing global interrelatedness of policies, politics and polities.

Guided by this overall aim, the GDB, funded by the Lisbon-based Fundação Francisco Manuel dos Santos since 2011, opts for a broad and informed view on globalisation, sustainable development and human well-being, their drivers, effects and trends. It thus considers a wide range of relevant elements of globalisation and directs the attention not only to the economic and political foundation of global human interaction, but also to their most vital environmental, social and societal basis. In this way, it also seeks to inform about the way human beings live, what freedoms they enjoy and what limitations they face. Methodologically, the GDB collaborates with different international institutions and providers of statistical data in order to collect information. The main sources of information will be UN level institutions and statistical bodies. Data selected will, whenever possible, relate to a longer period, which will continue to the latest available data. The project team is directed by Gaby Umbach and supported by IT experts at the Fundação Francisco Manuel dos Santos.

International and Transnational Relations of the EU

The European Union as a political and social community is not an isolated entity but is part of, and interacts with, its larger environment. European states are confronted with internal and external challenges such as increasing religious activism and pressure on the functional and legal borders of the EU. Two research projects funded by the European Research Council under the EU Seventh Framework Programme, Religiowest and Borderlands, study the impact of these challenges.

The EU is an increasingly significant international actor.

The Union’s external policies, as well as those of its individual member states, exert a major impact on its neighbours and beyond. In recent years, the Centre has focused on the enlargement of the EU, the Mediterranean region, and transatlantic relations. Our current interests further include the rise of European foreign, security, and defense policies; the EU as an international actor and the EU’s military and civilian missions abroad; and the global trade regime.

ROBERT SCHUMAN CENTRE FOR ADVANCED STUDIES

Key faculty RSCAS: Stefano Bartolini, Raffaella Del Sarto, Ulrich Krotz, Miguel Maduro, Olivier Roy EUI Departments: Marise Cremona (LAW) Religiowest This ERC-funded project, directed by Olivier Roy, aims to study how different western states in Europe and North America are redefining their relationship to religions, under the challenge of an increasing religious activism in the public sphere, associated with new religious movements and with Islam. Although each country starts from very different and specific contexts of the relationship between state, religion and public sphere, this move seems to lead to a more uniform perception of what the relationship should be. More importantly, it seems to lead to the use of a common paradigm of what a religion is, with the consequence of pushing religions, through a complex array of

constraints (public order) and incentives (freedom of religion), to format themselves according to this common paradigm. But, due to the de jure or de facto separation of church and state, governments have little leverage on this process. It is made under a mix of social and political pressure (banning or not the visible signs of Islam for instance) and the promotion of a concept of freedom of religion more linked to the US common law tradition than to the European tradition of dominant or even established religions with close relations (even conflicting) with the state.

BORDERLANDS: Boundaries, Governance, and Power in the European Union’s Relations with North Africa and the Middle East Challenging the notion of Fortress Europe, this ERC-funded project investigates relations between the EU and its southern periphery, as well as across the latter, through the concept of borderlands. This concept emphasises the disaggregation of the triple function of borders demarcating state territory, authority, and national identity inherent in the Westphalian model of statehood. This process is most visible in (although not limited to) Europe, where integration has led to supranational areas of sovereignty, an internal market, a common currency, and a zone of free movement of people, each with a different territorial span. The project explores the complex and differentiated process by which the EU extends its unbundled functional and legal borders and governance patterns to the so-called southern Mediterranean (North Africa and parts of the Middle East), thereby transforming it into borderlands. They connect the European core with the periphery through various legal and functional border regimes and the selective outsourcing of some EU border control duties.

The overarching question driving this research is whether, first, the EU borderland policies, described by some as a neo-medieval empire, are a functional consequence

27

ROBERT SCHUMAN CENTRE FOR ADVANCED STUDIES

of the specific integration model pursued inside the EU, a matter of foreign policy choice or a local manifestation of a broader phenomenon linked to globalisation.

Second, the project addresses the political and social implications of these processes for the ‘borderlands’, along with the question of power dynamics that underwrite borderland governance. It presumes growing leverage of third country governments resulting from their cooptation as gatekeepers is presumed. The project thus reexamines the theory and reality of one of the most basic concepts in international relations, namely borders, in the context of the EU’s relations with North Africa and the Mediterranean Middle East.

This five-year project started on 1 October 2011 and is directed by Raffaella Del Sarto.

Europe in World Politics and EU Foreign and Security Affairs This research domain includes Europe’s international relations, and its role in international and security affairs. We seek to integrate theoretical and conceptual grounding from a wide range of perspectives in international relations, the social sciences, and international law with empirical research and political relevance. This thread explicitly ties the study of Europe in international affairs to the central changes and challenges in world politics and international security of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.

The RSCAS seeks to address some of the main areas pertaining to Europe’s place and role in the world, such as the rocky and still tenuous consolidation of the EU as a ‘high politics’ actor in global affairs; the (uneven) emergence of pan-European foreign, security, and defense policies; issues of European strategy and purpose; internal and external aspects of European security and defense; as well as the foreign, security, or defense policies

of individual European states or groups of states.

As one part of this research agenda, Ulrich Krotz investigates the causes and motivations behind the EU’s twentyfive military and civilian missions abroad to date, along with several ‘negative cases’ in which joint action did not materialize. Tentatively titled ‘Divided We Stand’, the book project elucidates the bumpy emergence of common European foreign, security, and defense stances – and thus central aspects of the EU’s growing external involvement in international security affairs over the past fifteen or so years. Drawing from general international relations theory, the book develops hypotheses on differing degrees of cooperation or its absence with respect to the possibility of joint action. The project focuses on explaining variation in cooperative outcomes, as well as cases of failure, since the process began in the mid-1990s.

In another research project, Ulrich Krotz scrutinizes the phenomenon of ‘special’ interstate relations in international politics. This project develops a conceptual framework to investigate diverse kinds of special relationships between states and to study their political impact on international affairs. It distinguishes among different types of special relationships, and analyzes the diverse conditions from which special relations have emerged historically. In the investigation of the character, diversity, and significance of special interstate relationships, this project combines matters of general international relations, European foreign relations and transatlantic affairs, issues of global and regional governance, and comparative methods and research design.

The Mediterranean Programme The Mediterranean Programme was inaugurated in 1999.

It is mainly funded by private and public corporations, banks, and public authorities. The Programme focuses on the Euro-Mediterranean area: Southern Europe; the Middle East and North Africa, including the countries involved

in the Barcelona Process; the Arabian Peninsula; Iran; and Iraq. The Mediterranean Programme now concentrates on the study of relations between the EU and Middle Eastern and North African countries. It also continues to enhance the creation of networks between the cultural and research institutes of the countries involved, offering a comfortable environment to establish, or strengthen, informal contacts between policy-makers and experts on both sides of the Mediterranean. The Annual Mediterranean Research Meeting, organised by the RSCAS since March 2000, is the main academic venue in Europe for scholars from Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa to discuss original research in the social sciences with focus on Mediterranean issues. The 2012 session had 15 workshops. The fourteenth session will take place at Mersin University, Turkey from 20-23 March 2013.

The Mediterranean Programme is directed by Olivier Roy. Further information is available at: www.eui.eu/RSCAS/ Research/Mediterranean The Transatlantic Programme The Transatlantic Programme fosters the study of the transatlantic relationship, past and present. It conducts basic and policy-oriented research in an interdisciplinary setting, and aims to improve scholarly understanding of the forces that shape this relationship and its role in global processes.

Established in 2000, the Programme has been made possible by generous grants, first from British Petrol (BP) and later from the Republic of Ireland. The programme also received support from the US Mission to the European Union to bring American scholars to the Centre. The programme’s activities include hosting guest speakers, organising lecture series, workshops and conferences and publishing the results of these activities.

Public Debate and Policy Advice

One of the main goals of the Centre is to draw on its basic research for more policy-oriented activities. Many RSCAS projects and programmes have the explicit aim of contributing to public debate and policy advice. For example, EUDO conducted several strongly policy-oriented projects and presented some of its activities to the European Parliament. Likewise, the Migration Policy Centre, the FSR and the Loyola de Palacio Chair in EU Energy and many of our research projects have policy-relevant objectives.

Conferences The Centre regularly organizes conferences, workshops and seminars together with public or private, international, European or national institutions. It also organizes meetings for groups wishing to discuss topics related to their professional activities while benefiting from academic support and a ‘neutral’ environment. The Centre invites distinguished personalities to deliver keynote

speeches or to participate in conferences and debate with the EUI community Policy Papers and Policy Reports Most of the Centre’s programmes and projects produce reports and working papers on scholarly and policy issues.

These include Working Papers, Research Reports, Analytical and Synthetic Notes, and ‘Proceedings’ from policy-maker and expert meetings, training sessions, and workshops. All papers and reports are freely accessible through the web.

Faculty Contributions Members of the Centre are regularly engaged with the work of European, international and national institutions, acting as consultants and/or producing reports, studies, policy briefs and the like.

Deadlines for applications for Visiting Fellowships for the academic year 2013/14: 30 November 2012 and 30 April 2013 Publications & web Effective dissemination of its high-quality research output is a key priority of the RSCAS. It is achieved through a dynamic publication policy and a versatile web site.

Publications Serial RSCAS publications include peer-reviewed Working Papers and occasionally Policy Papers and Distinguished Lectures. Many of the Centre’s major research projects and programmes also publish serial publications, including, for example, the MPC Research Reports and MPC Analytical and Synthetic Notes, FSR Workshop Conclusions and GGP, FSR and ACCEPT Policy Briefs.

Research results are also published in the form of ad hoc reports, e-books, handbooks and so on. In addition, monographs, edited books, book chapters and articles based on research conducted at the Centre are published by some of the most prestigious academic publishers.

In line with its open access publishing policy, RSCAS working papers, policy papers, distinguished lectures, policy briefs and research project reports are available in full-text in the EUI Institutional Repository CADMUS, and can be browsed and downloaded either from the RSCAS publications web page (www.eui.eu/RSCAS/ Publications), or directly from CADMUS (cadmus.eui. eu). These web pages also provide complete bibliographical information on RSCAS-associated books, journal articles, chapters, working papers and reports not yet available electronically in full-text. The Centre also gives access via the web site to various project reports and conference hand-outs.

The Centre is a founding member of the ERPA – European Research Papers Archive (eiop.or.at/erpa/), and links to

some publications are also indexed in a number of partner sites, including REPEC and Google Scholar.

Web Besides its corporate web site, the RSCAS manages various project web sites, including those of the Centre for Media Pluralism and Media Freedom, the European Union Democracy Observatory the Florence School of Regulation, the Global Governance Programme, the Migration Policy Centre, the Return Migration and Development Platform.

Alongside the publications database, other searchable databases provide dynamic, up-to-date information about the activities and the people of the Centre. The calendar of seminars and events is the best place to find information on any of the more than 200 events organised by the RSCAS each year – on site, elsewhere in Italy, and abroad.

News and events can be followed via RSS or by subscribing to the various electronic newsletters and mailing lists. In addition to the RSCAS Newsletter, projects such as EUDO, the Global Governance Programme, the Florence School of Regulation, the Migration Policy Centre, METOIKOS and ACCEPT-Pluralism also disseminate news and findings. Occasionally main events are live streamed on the EUI web site.

The People database provides RSCAS affiliations and contact information for all RSCAS members, including visitors.

It also links to extended CVs and personal home pages.

The RSCAS web site offers the scientific community several free research tools as ‘public goods’. Among the most recent are a 3-D political landscape of 30 European countries produced as the output of the EU-Profiler; the various databases of legal documents, statistics, indicators, and a wide bibliography on citizenship constructed by the EUDO Observatory on Citizenship; the various datasets and thematic maps on the relations between the European Union and its southern periphery by the BORDER-

35

ROBERT SCHUMAN CENTRE FOR ADVANCED STUDIES

LANDS project; and the various databases on migration of the CARIM and MIREM projects.

Forums, Blogs and Social Networks provide scholars with virtual places to discuss ideas and exchange information.

Main examples are the EUDO Café, the Global Governance Programme Social Network, the ACCEPT Pluralism Blog, the Debate Migration MPC blog and the EUDO Citizenship Forum. The Global Governance Programme and EUDO Citizenship websites also include a section with video comments on relevant research topics or latest news.

A key feature of the RSCAS web sites is interactive support for our research activities and international events. This includes online registration and application, and restricted access pages enabling dissemination of material and information to ad hoc research networks or participants in RSCAS activities.

The Centre is based in five historical buildings situated in the hills just outside Florence, Tuscany: the Convento di San Domenico, Villa Malafrasca, Villa La Fonte, Villa La Pagliaiuola and Villa Schifanoia. All working spaces are equipped with a personal computer and up-to-date research software and networking facilities. Information on other facilities and advice for housing, child care, and schools is available at: www.eui.eu/ServicesAndAdmin Facilities & Support The EUI Library Research at the Institute is supported by a first class Library in the Social Sciences, and a team of experienced librarians and information specialists. The EUI Library is a ‘hybrid’ library, comprising both traditional resources – books, documents and journals on paper or in microform – and digital resources. The collections include more than 2,200 current printed journals and approximately half a

million volumes in law, economics, history and civilization, and political and social sciences, with a special focus on Europe. Most of the Library’s holdings are on open shelving. Via the catalogue, the Library provides access to electronic resources of which nearly 15.000 full text ejournals, over 420.000 e-books, numerous databases and networked CD-ROMs. Users have a range of services at their disposal: on-demand acquisition of books, generous lending policies, fast document delivery services and interlibrary loan facilities, personal assistance and numerous training sessions. In addition to the Library’s 50 public access computers, users can access the EUI network with their personal laptops via LAN and WiFi connections. www.eui.eu/Library The Historical Archives of the European Union (HAEU) The Institute hosts the Historical Archives of the European Union Institutions, namely The High Authority of the ECSC, The Commission of the EEC (1952/82), The Council of Ministers (1952/74), The European Parliament (1952/82) except the Commissions of European Parliament (available until 1984), the Court of Auditors (1976/92), the Economic and Social Committee (1958/74) and the European Investment Bank (1958/2004), as provided according to the thirty years of delay of access rule.

This unique collection (6,000 linear meters) is supplemented by the archives of the OECD, ESA, the Assembly of the WEU, and others. Many important European personalities and officials (Presidents of the European Commission and Commissioners) have donated their personal archives or special collections to the Archives. Relevant material deposited by pro-European movements such as the European Movement, the European Federalists Union, the Council of European Municipalities and Regions, The European League for Economic co-operation, The
