Abstract

This report is the first independent, substantive and public assessment of the progress of the African Union. ""Towards a People-Driven African Union: Current Obstacles and New Opportunities"" analyses the preparations of African Union member-states, the AU Commission and civil society organisations for the twice-yearly AU summits. The main finding is that despite some welcome new opportunities for participation, the African Union's vision of &#xFFFD;an Africa driven by its own citizens&#xFFFD; remains largely unfulfilled. Detailed recommendations are offered to help deliver on this vision in future. Publis

Abstract

Since the path-breaking work of Karl Deutsch on security communities and Ernst Haas on European integration, it has been clear that international institutions may create senses of community and belonging beyond the nation state. Put differently, they can socialize. Yet the mechanisms underlying such dynamics have been unclear. This volume explores these mechanisms of international community building, from a resolutely eclectic stand point. Rationalism is thus the social theory of choice for some contributors, while others are more comfortable with social constructivism. This problem-driven perspective and the theoretical bridge building it are the cutting edge in international relations theory. By providing more fined-grained arguments on precisely how international institutions matter, such an approach sheds crucial light on the complex relationship between states and institutions, between rational choice and social constructivism, and, in our case, between Europe and the nation state.

Abstract

À quoi sert l'Europe ? Pourquoi est-elle devenue si impopulaire ? Est-elle le cheval de Troie de la mondialisation ? A-t-on besoin d'elle pour relever les grands défis du XXIe siècle ? Cinquante ans après la signature du traité de Rome instituant la Communauté européenne sous l'impulsion de la France, deux ans après le "non" français au projet de Constitution européenne, ces questions sont plus que jamais d'actualité. Membre de la Commission européenne présidée par José Manuel Barroso, et actuellement vice-président de la Commission européenne chargé des transports, Jacques Barrot répond sans détour et interpelle les candidats à a présidence de la République sur leur engagement européen. Acquis, force et originalité des institutions, mais aussi carences et difficultés à harmoniser les positions des vingt-sept États membres : Jacques Barrot "explique" l'Europe et s'exprime clairement sur les progrès nécessaires pour améliorer son fonctionnement et la rapprocher des citoyens. Car, en Européen convaincu, il défend une Union qui doit continuer à faire rêver et non une Europe trop souvent transformée en bouc émissaire par ceux qui n'osent pas réformer la France
