’This book strengthens intellectually what practice shows: that the small nations not only are viable as identities, societies and economies, but can attain excellent performance. This is on provision that they do not confine themselves, but rather participate in great political and economic spaces. Besides its intellectual quality, this book has another great merit: it opens gates to hope... and it does it with solid and consistent arguments.’ – Jordi Pujol, President of Catalonia (1980-2003) and President of the Assembly of European Regions (1992-96)

The European Union’s New Democracies

Series: Routledge/UACES Contemporary European Studies
Series: Global Institutions ’In The European Union, Clive Archer skillfully and clearly introduces the reader to one of the key institutions and central features of the current world order – the EU. Demonstrating that the EU is ’unique’ in its role as a ’Global Institution,’ Archer succeeds admirably in his aims of providing information about the EU and placing the process of EU integration into a set of broader political contexts – including the relationships between state and society, the states of the European region, and global order as a whole.’ – Harvey Starr, University of South Carolina, USA ’Archer has undertaken a wonderful service in writing this concise, yet comprehensive, introduction to the European Union. The EU’s decision-making processes and policies are covered with a clarity that makes the EU’s formidable complexity fully accessible - and is to be especially recommended to the reader unfamiliar with the institution.’ – Richard G.

This book provides an innovative examination of the European Union as it departs from its path of integration, diverting from an ever-closer union of peoples, into an ordinary international organization in which there is little overriding sense of purpose. This book discusses the indications of this development and explains why it happened only a decade or so after a peak of popular enthusiasm in the early 1990s. Paul Taylor warns that the current problems are underestimated and that there is the risk of casually throwing away the considerable achievements of the integration process. The End of European Integration will be of interest to all those with an interest in European integration, whether for or against. It will also interest students of European studies, European politics, and politics and international relations in general. Selected Contents: 1. The Waxings and Wanings of European Integration 2.

The Struggle for the European Constitution
NEW
A Past and Future History
Theorizing European Integration
Michael O’Neill, Nottingham Trent University, UK
Dimitris N. Chryssochoou, University of Crete, Greece
The European Union’s Constitution is one of the most important developments in its history. It aims to make the EU more transparent, relevant and accountable to the citizens of its member states.
This study critically analyzes the elusive concept of Europeanization as a decision-making process with particular governing logics that both support and, paradoxically, undermine the ‘European political project’. Selected Contents: 1. Europeanization: Unpacking the Academic Argument 2. Theorizing Europeanization as Process 3. Political Elites and Europeanization: Changing Preferences in the Corridors of Power? 4. Europeanization and Discourse Building: Fashioning European Narratives or Editing National Scripts? 5. Europeanization and Learning?: The Eastern European Experience of EU Membership 6. Europeanization and Subnational Styles of Political Business 7. The Limits to Europeanization: The EU-27 and Turkey 8. Conclusions
Politics of the Accession States
This book provides the most comprehensive account of why the Constitution developed and what its implications are, clearly explaining: • the political crisis behind the Constitution • the power politics at work in the negotiations • how the Constitution will affect EU policy-making • the impact on the EU’s citizens. Selected Contents: Part 1: Why a Constitution for Europe? Part 2: Constitutionalizing the Union. Part 3: The Convention on the Future of Europe. Part 4: Drafting the Constitutional Treaty. Part 5: The Politics of Ratification. June 2008: 234x156: 224pp Hb: 978-0-415-37800-0: £75.00 Pb: 978-0-415-37801-7: £21.99 • AVAILABLE AS AN INSPECTION COPY

Fully revised and updated throughout, Theorizing European Integration 2nd edition provides a comprehensive introduction to the theoretical study of European integration. Combining perspectives from international relations, comparative politics and social and political theory, Dimitris N. Chryssochoou offers a complete overview of the many competing approaches that have sought to capture and explain the evolving political nature of the European Union (EU) and its qualitative transition from a union of states to a polity in its own right.

Mediterranean Politics Editor: Richard Gillespie, University of Liverpool, UK Mediterranean Politics is the only refereed academic journal to focus on the politics, international relations and political economy of the entire Mediterranean area - 'Mediterranean' here being understood to refer to all those countries whose borders are defined partially or wholly by the Mediterranean Sea. This focus involves consideration not only of the region itself, but also the significance of developments there for other parts of the world.
Key Features Include • an introduction to Italian political history from 1943 to the present day • an explanation of the governmental system, the constitutional framework, the core institutions, the electoral system and the key parties • analysis of the role of the contemporary pressure groups and social movements including environmental, labour and anti-globalization organizations • discussion of important topical issues such as corruption, organized crime, the role of the media and freedom of the press • an exploration of Italian foreign policy towards the EU, the US and the ’War on Terrorism’ • photographs, boxed biographies, figures, annotated further reading and lists of websites to enliven the text.
Fully revised and updated to reflect the changes in Spain over the last decade, José M. Magone gives a fresh insight into the formal and informal workings of this dynamic southern European democracy. Thoroughly examining Spain’s historical background, political culture, core political institutions and foreign policy making, each chapter provides a research-based overview of the studied topic which can then be used as the basis for further research by students.
Key themes of the book include: • recent history of Spain after Franco’s death • Spain’s political culture, institutional framework and political economy • foreign policy making; the reaction to the global anti-terrorist coalition and the Madrid bombings • party system and electoral process • the dynamics of regional/territorial politics and the Basque problem • external relations with the European Union, the Mediterranean and Latin America • Constitutional Reform • immigration.

Edited by Natividad Fernández Sola, University of Zaragoza, Spain and Michael Smith, Loughborough University, UK In this book, experts from both sides of the Atlantic examine the recent tensions between Western Europe and the United States over such issues as transatlantic security, policies towards terrorism and relations with Russia and the former Soviet Union, against the broader background of perceptions and misperceptions in transatlantic relations. Drawing on Professor Robert Jervis’ work, Perceptions and Misperceptions in International Politics, this book examines whether Jervis’ thesis has a new relevance given the current challenges in transatlantic relations. Some of the issues examined include: • perceptions and misperceptions in general focusing on US foreign policy, issues of decision-making and implementation and issues of alliance management • the capacity of the United States and the European Union to cooperate effectively within the broader transatlantic framework • studies focusing on the ‘alliance security dilemma’ and the transatlantic security community • case studies of transatlantic relations in the ‘war on terror’ and relations with Russia • the present and future of the ‘western alliance’. Selected Contents: 1. Introduction 2. Aliances, Perceptions and Current Friction Robert Jervis 3. Foreign Policy and Transatlantic Relations Rubén Herrero de Castro 4. An American View of Transatlantic Relations Robert J. Lieber 5. Trends on European Foreign and Security Policy since September 2001 Michael Smith 6. How Transatlantic Relations Can Reinforce the EU Role as an International Actor Natividad Fernández Sola 7. Perceptions on US Policy, Transatlantic Relations and Alliance Security Dilemma David García Cantalapiedra 8. The End of the Euro-Atlantic Pluralistic Security Community?
