TY - JOUR A1 - Jachtenfuchs, Markus A1 - Kohler-Koch, Beate T1 - The Transformation of Governance in the European Union JF - MZES Arbeitspapier AB III N2 - The transfer of political competencies to the European level proceeds in small steps in the daily practice of governance and of adjudication. In large intervals, the results of these processes are codified in treaty form by intergovernmental conferences. It therefore seems fruitful to have a closer look at "governance in a dynamic multi-level system". The first part of this paper recalls the political and legal controversy about the nature of the political order of the Union with the aim of justifying the use of the term "governance" with reference to the EU. More or less isolated from the discussion on the nature of the EU and its possible or desirable future development, scholars increasingly deal with the effects of the integration process on responsible and effective governance within the member states. This debate is linked to a broader concern about the problems and prospects of governance under the conditions of increasing internationalization which finds its expression in the transnational expansion of functional subsystems of society, increasing interdependence and the globalization of problems. Policy analysis has started to deal with the changes in institutional structures and political processes caused by the Europeanization of policies. These questions are discussed in the second part which draws on the contributions to a forthcoming book edited by the authors. The third part focuses on the meaning and the possibility of legitimate and efficient governance beyond the state flamework. The fourth part discusses different institutional models for dealing with the problems of governance in a dynamic multi-level system resulting from the integration process. In the light of the perspective developed in this paper, the final part puts forward some general empirical, theoretical and normative questions for further research.

Mannheim CY - Mannheim ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Jachtenfuchs, Markus T1 - Ideen und Interessen : Weltbilder als Kategorien der politischen Analyse JF - MZES Arbeitspapier AB III N2 - Eine weitverbreitete Meinung in der Politikwissenschaft besagt, daß politisches Handeln durch Interessen bestimmt wird. Dies gilt vor allem für den Bereich der internationalen Politik, wo Staaten als der Prototyp des rationalen, nutzenmaximierenden Akteurs betrachtet werden. Ideen, sofern sie überhaupt Gegenstand der Analyse sind, werden in dieser Perspektive zu Oberflächenphänomenen der grundlegenden Logik von Macht und Interesse. Im Gegensatz dazu wird hier die These vertreten, daß Ideen zentrale Kategorien der Analyse von Politik im allgemeinen und von internationaler Politik im besonderen sein können und nicht lediglich als Rationalisierungen von Machtverhältnissen betrachtet werden müssen. Die Vernachlässigung von Ideen, so die erste These, liegt im Handlungsbegriff rationalistischer Ansätze begründet, denen ein konstruktivistischer Ansatz gegenübergestellt wird. Der zweite Abschnitt führt aus, wie sich Ideen mit Hilfe des Konzepts der Weltbilder systematisch analysieren lassen. Danach wird gezeigt, wie sich mit Hilfe dieses Konzepts Lernprozesse theoretisch und empirisch gehaltvoll konzeptualisieren lassen.

Fragestellungen für eine interdisziplinäre Europaforschung JF - Politische Vierteljahresschrift N2 - Der Prozeß der europäischen Integration wurde in den letzten Jahren wieder verstärkt zum Gegenstand sozialwissenschaftlicher Forschung. Theoretische Entwürfe waren mit diesem erneuten Interesse jedoch nur selten verbunden oder sie waren disziplinär begrenzt, so daß der Gesamtzusammenhang des Integrationsprozesses aus dem Blick geriet. Gleichzeitig bedeutet die zunehmende Wirkungstiefe des Integrationsprozesses für eine Reihe von gemeinhin nicht zur Integrationsforschung zählenden Bereichen (vor allem im Bereich der international vergleichenden Forschung), daß diese in zunehmendem Maße empirisch und konzeptionell mit den Auswirkungen des Integrationsprozesses konfrontiert werden. Es bedarf deshalb einer Zugangsweise auf den Integrationsprozeß, die eine Kommunikation sowohl innerhalb der Politikwissenschaft als auch mit benachbarten Disziplinen überhaupt ermöglicht, ohne durch theoretische Vorentscheidungen die Erforschung einer gemeinsamen Problematik schon im Keim zu ersticken. Es geht also nicht um eine Theorie, sondern um eine Fragestellung mit allerdings weitreichenden theoretischen Implikationen. Eine solche Fragestellung könnte sein, wie, durch wen und mit welchen Auswirkungen Regieren in der Europäischen Union erfolgt. Wir glauben, daß sich hierdurch ein theoretischer und empirischer Beitrag zum Verständnis der Möglichkeiten und Grenzen handlungsfähiger und demokratischer Politik unter den Bedingungen von Verflechtung und Interdependenz leisten läßt, der über die eigentliche Europaforschung weit hinausgeht.

The Eurozone Crisis, the Refugee Crisis and Integration Theory JF - Journal of Common Market Studies N2 - The Eurozone crisis and the refugee crisis are showcases of the problems associated with the EU's shift from market integration to the integration of core state powers. The integration of core state powers responds to similar demand factors as market integration (interdependence, externalities and spillover) but its supply is more tightly constrained by a high propensity for zero‐sum conflict, a functional requirement for centralized fiscal, coercive and administrative capacities, and high political salience. We show how these constraints structured the initial design of Economic and Monetary Union and of Schengen, made them vulnerable to crisis, and shaped policy options during the crises: they made horizontal differentiation unattractive, re‐regulation ineffective, centralized risk and burden‐sharing unfeasible, and the externalization of adjustment burdens to non‐EU actors necessary by default. In conclusion, we explore possible escape routes from the trap.

Insights from the EU and Federal States JF - Journal of European Public Policy N2 - The purpose of this collection is to discuss what we may learn from thinking about the EU in federal terms. Our point of departure is that this represents a two-fold challenge. It is on the one hand a matter of establishing ‘how federal’ the EU is (the EU’s federal challenge). On the other, the EU has federal features but is not a state; thus raises the question of whether federal theory and practice may have to be adapted to take proper account of the EU (the EU’s challenge to federalism). The contributions to this collection supplement and extend existing scholarship through focusing on two important lines of inquiry. The first focuses on the relationship between federalism and democracy, with particular emphasis on how federal systems respond to and deal with citizens’ interests and concerns, within and outside the political system. Particular emphasis is placed on representation, in the process of federalization, and as a feature of established systems. The second line of inquiry places the emphasis on the relationship among the governments of federal systems. The focus is on intergovernmental relations, and the particular merits that emanate from studying these from a federal perspective.

We highlight two findings: First, in contrast to historical examples of federal state-building, where the nationalization of core state powers precipitated the institutional, territorial and political consolidation of the emerging state, the European integration of core state powers is associated with the institutional, territorial and political fragmentation of the European Union. Second, in contrast to European market integration, state élites and mass publics, not organized business interests, are the prime drivers of integration.

It responds to a need for a principled distribution of tasks between different layers of governance and expresses a general commitment to lower-level decisionmaking at a time when many fear that international authority might be expanding too fast. The symposium which this paper introduces interrogates the prospect and limits of the subsidiarity principle in the global context, focusing on different issue areas – regional economic integration, trade and investment, human rights, and international security, as well as cross-cutting empirical and normative aspects. This framing paper situates subsidiarity among competing principles, evaluates its appeal from a normative perspective and develops a number of conjectures about its prevalence, potential and limitations based on insights from comparative politics as well as the case studies of the project. The picture that emerges from this inquiry is not a homogeneous one. Subsidiarity is not present or desirable in all contexts, and empirically we find significant variation across issue areas and institutional settings. But the principle is beginning to shape different areas and institutional contexts, and it holds significant promise as normative and legal guidance for institutional design and the exercise of authority in the global realm. The landscape of subsidiarity is bound to remain variegated, but the concept is gaining ground and for many actors holds much appeal as a principled way of balancing the need for strong global cooperation with a continuing emphasis on the value of local self-government.

An analytical framework JF - Journal of European Public Policy N2 - We argue that there is a commonality between federal states and the EU: both face a dilemma between sub-unit autonomy and collective problem-solving. We develop the structure of this dilemma, which is pervasive in multilevel systems with a strong element of shared policy-making and most pronounced in the EU. While a substantial part of the federalism literature considers this relationship as precarious and discusses ways to stabilize it, we propose an analytical perspective which focuses on actor dynamics, i.e., on the attempts of sub-units to change the balance between sub-unit autonomy and collective problem-solving by changing their position in two distinct dimensions: exit and voice. Exit measures the degree to which sub-units want to be subject to collective policies, voice measures the influence sub-units seek in collective decisions. We illustrate this framework with examples, mainly from the EU, and conclude that this perspective can shed new light on differentiated integration in the EU and open comparative inquiries.

Die Internationalisierung der inneren Sicherheit JF - Politische Vierteljahresschrift N2 - Although international police cooperation is not a new phenomenon and despite its relevance for the monopoly of force, studies applying a political science or international relations (IR) perspective are scarce. Through a ‘competition of claims’, this article reviews and organizes current literature on cooperation in internal security to highlight crucial points of entry for IR- and political science approaches. While both claims argue along the lines of functionalist regime theory, the ‘informality claim’ stresses state’s interest to uphold autonomy and their accordant preference for informal cooperation. In contrast, the ‘institutionalization claim’ underscores the willingness of states to create formal and strong institutions as they promise effi ciency gains in light of transborder problems. By focusing on central issues in police cooperation (terrorism, drugs, money laundering, organized crime) this review highlights that internal security can become a prospering fi eld for IR- and political science theorizing.

Der Beitrag zeigt anhand der inneren Sicherheit und der Steuerpolitik, dass sich die EU im Gegensatz zu diesem Standardmodell nicht auf Marktregulierung beschränkt, sondern auch staatliche Kernaufgaben intensiv reguliert. Ursache hierfür sind externe Effekte der Schaffung des gemeinsamen Binnenmarktes und das Fehlen eigenständiger Handlungsmittel in diesen Bereichen, das durch Regulierung kompensiert wird. Durch den vorherrschenden Modus der Regulierung bleiben die Eingriffe der EU aber weithin unsichtbar.
