Despite having made its first application for EEC membership in 1959, Turkey's bid to join the EU remains as controversial as ever, with Turkey and EU relations arguably at an all-time low in the aftermath of the attempted coup d'état of July 2016. In this context, the essays here, while using (de)Europeanisation as a broad theoretical framework, explore the current state of Turkey's EU accession bid from a variety of perspectives, including discourse analysis, Euroscepticism and institutionalist approaches. The essays focus not only on discursive and policy (de)Europeanisation within Turkey, but also examine both official EU and European right-wing Eurosceptic discourse on Turkish accession, as well as approaching the Turkish accession process through comparisons with the contemporary Western Balkan countries and with post-war Germany.

"The debate on law, governance and constitutionalism beyond the state is confronted with new challenges. In the EU, confidence in democratic transnational governance has been shaken by the authoritarian and unsocial practices of crisis management. The ambition of this book, which builds upon many years of close co-operation between its contributors, is to promote a viable interdisciplinary alternative to these developments. "Conflicts-law constitutionalism" is a concept of transnational governance which derives democratic legitimacy from the supranational control of the external impact of national decision-making, on the one hand, and the co-operative responses to problem interdependencies on the other. The first section of the book contrasts Europe's new modes of economic governance crisis management with the conditionality of international investments, and reflects upon the communalities and differences between emergency Europe and global exceptionalism. Subsequent sections substantiate the problématique of executive and technocratic rule, explore conflict constellations of prime importance in the fields of environmental and labour law, and discuss the impact and limits of liberalisation strategies. Throughout the book, European and transnational developments are compared and evaluated."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

In Zeiten globaler Krisen stehen auch Verständnis und Rolle Europas in Frage. Die Bedeutung der Moderne, das Verständnis des Politischen wie das Verhältnis von Vernunft und Glauben werden unter dem Namen Europa mitverhandelt. Welche Narrative und symbolischen Inszenierungen konstituieren den öffentlichen Raum in Europa? Kann der belastete Name "Europa" über koloniale und imperiale Logik hinausweisen? Ausgehend von Überlegungen zu einer Performativen Politischen Theologie reflektiert der Band Möglichkeiten und Kriterien, um Europa in einer neuen Weise zu erzählen. Die Einleitung bezieht den Krieg in der Ukraine mit ein.

This is a book on the interrelationship of the EU legal order and the Cyprus issue. The book addresses a question which is of great significance for the legal order of the EU (as well as for Cypriots, Turks and Greeks), namely how the Union deals with the de facto division of the island. Despite the partial normalisation of relations between the two ethno-religious groups on the island, Cyprus' accession to the EU has not led to its reunification, nor to the restoration of human rights, nor a complete end to the political and economic isolation of the Turkish Cypriot community. Ironically enough, the accession of the island to the EU actually added a new dimension to the division of the island. According to Protocol 10 on Cyprus to the Act of Accession 2003, the Republic of Cyprus joined the Union with its entire territory. However, due to the fact that its Government cannot exercise effective control over the whole island, pending a settlement, the application of the acquis is 'suspended in those areas of the Republic of Cyprus in which the Government of the Republic of Cyprus does not have effective control.' Given this unprecedented (for an EU Member State) situation of not controlling part of its territory, the book analyses the limits of the suspension of the Union acquis in the areas north of the Green Line. In other words, the telos of this particularly challenging research is to map the partial application of Union law in an area where there are two competing claims of authority

Die europäische Integration stellt eine historisch präzedenzlose und neuartige Form der friedlichen Vereinigung eines Kontinents dar. Die Geschichtswissenschaft benötigt daher innovative theoretische Konzepte, um diesen Prozess angemessen erklären zu können - zum gegenwärtigen Zeitpunkt ist die Integrationsgeschichte jedoch durch ein weitgehendes "Theoriedefizit" geprägt. Das Buchprojekt "Acht Geschichten über die Integrationsgeschichte. Zur Grundlegung der Geschichte der europäischen Integration als ein episodisches historiographisches Erzählen" nimmt diesen Befund kritisch auf und leuchtet die theoretischen Grundlagen der Integrationshistoriographie aus. In interdisziplinärer Perspektive wird ein Vorschlag zur theoretischen Grundlegung der Vereinigungshistoriographie erarbeitet. Das Konzept eines episodischen historiographischen Erzählens (Peter Pichler) begreift die Einigung Europas als einen umfassenden Kooperations- und Transformationsprozess. In diesem Prozess greifen verschiedenste geschichtliche Teilstränge (etwa politische, wirtschaftliche, kulturelle, soziale, rechtliche, religiöse usw.) netzwerkartig ineinander. Im historiographischen Text ist deren Gesamtes daher am sinnvollsten als ein episodisches historiographisches Netzwerk zu repräsentieren. Dieser Theorievorschlag soll als neue Metaperspektive und methodisches Arbeitsinstrument zu Verfügung gestellt werden. Ein erster Arbeitsschritt unterzieht die bisherige Forschung zur Integrationsgeschichte einer kritischen Bestandsaufnahme und Diskursanalyse. Besonderes Augenmerk liegt darauf, auch ost- und südosteuropäische sowie türkische Perspektiven miteinzubeziehen. In der Synopsis zeigt sich das Zusammenspiel von ost- und südosteuropäischem "transition"--Narrativ sowie der türkischen Perspektive auf den Integrationsprozess als Motor der Debatte. Weiters stellen "postmoderne" Perspektiven auf die Integrationsgeschichte ein wichtiges Element der Beschleunigung und Erneuerung des Diskurses dar. Der erste Arbeitsschritt endet damit, einen ersten Innovationsimpuls zur diskursiven Erneuerung der integrationsgeschichtlichen Forschung geben zu können: Der neu eingeführte Begriff der "transnarrativen Kompetenz" ermöglicht es, "transition"-Narrativ und türkische Integrationsperspektiven aufeinander zu beziehen. In einem zweiten Arbeitsschritt werden aus der jüngsten Entwicklung in Integrations- und Geschichtstheorie jene theoretischen Elemente isoliert, die zu einer perspektivischen Erneuerung der Forschung beitragen können. Das Konzept des episodischen historiographischen Erzählens verbindet diese Bausteine aus Politik-, Sozial-, Rechts- und Kulturwissenschaften zu einem interdisziplinären Theorievorschlag. Die Bausteine werden in ihrer jeweiligen analytischen Erzählhaltung bestimmt und somit als jeweils ein episodischer Erzählstrang, als eine Episode der Geschichte der europäischen Integration rekonstruiert. Das Netzwerk dieser Episoden macht schliesslich den Theorievorschlag eines episodischen historiographischen Erzählens aus. Das Konzept des episodischen historiographischen Erzählens ermöglicht somit nicht nur die Überwindung des Theoriedefizits der Integrationsgeschichtsschreibung, sondern dringt mittels der Vereinigung interdisziplinärer Bausteine zu einem episodischen Netzwerk tief in wissenschaftliches Neuland vor.

"The aim of this book is to analyse the principal legal dimensions of the Ireland-Northern Ireland Protocol ('the Protocol'), which is part of the EU-UK Withdrawal Agreement ('WA'), negotiated to enable the United Kingdom ('UK') to leave the European Union ('EU') in an orderly fashion. The purpose of this Introduction is to set out some of the basic background needed to understand the scope and content of the Protocol, and how this book attempts systematically to describe and analyse it. The Protocol is most appropriately seen in the context of the desire to preserve the Belfast-Good Friday Agreement ('1998 Agreement'), the changing politics of the UK Parliament and Government over the relevant period, and the subsequently negotiated Trade and Co-operation Agreement ('TCA')"--

The inside story of the European Fund for Strategic Investments from 2015 to 2020 told through interviews with the Managing Director, Deputy Managing Director, members of the Investment Committee and final beneficiaries across Europe. The architects of this €500 billion-plus programme, the head of the EU bank and the president of the European Commission, describe the genesis of this financial pillar of the Investment Plan for Europe. Then the people who ran one of the biggest economic stimulus programmes in history detail how they did it-and what the lessons are for policymakers responding to new crises, including the economic shock caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The European Fund for Strategic Investments has been one of the good news stories to emerge in a decade of economic uncertainty. It has gone well beyond its highly ambitious target of €500 billion in mobilised investments. The Juncker Plan has made a strong contribution to the 14 million jobs created in the EU between 2015 and 2020. It has become a success in co-financing projects that otherwise might not have been carried through. It has also charted the path towards new ways of financing. This is not only the case in relatively conventional areas, such as infrastructure, but also in sectors like research and innovation or the contribution to climate change mitigation. This is exactly what makes EFSI so ground-breaking: responding to the needs of the market through continuous financial innovation. The principle of the European Fund for Strategic Investments is here to stay. It has paved the way for its successor, the InvestEU programme, which is to be deployed under the 2021-2027 multiannual financial framework. This publication details why the programme was such a success.
