N2 - Our paper focuses on the development of fiscal institutions in Central and East European countries from 1998 to 2007. Following the Europeanisation literature as well as the expectations that the European Union established in its dialogue with prospective members through annual “Preaccession Economic Programmes,” one would anticipate that there would have been reform of fiscal institutions in the run-up to EU accession. Unlike in most other policy fields, there is an additional incentive to continue reform once a country has joined the EU, which is eurozone membership. This paper explains how we measure fiscal institutions and fiscal reforms. We provide time series data on the fiscal institutions each country has had in place, and, based on a new set of surveys and interviews we conducted, we compare the state of these fiscal institutions in 2007, or after the countries had acceded to the EU, with the institutions in place before accession. We find that preparations for the EU accession prior to 2004 did lead to some changes in budget process in this set of countries. The carrot of EMU membership after acceding to the EU, however, has so far not had the same effect--the pace of reform has since stalled, with most countries leaving the same fiscal institutions in place.In some countries further reforms to develop medium-term fiscal frameworks are either planned or are in a process of being initiated but it is too early to say if the reforms will truly materialise and transform the frameworks into a vehicle that would impose a serious constraint for government spending.

We find that the EU’s own taxing power is indeed narrowly circumscribed: Its revenues have evolved from rather supranational beginnings in the 1950s towards an increasingly intergovernmental system. Based on a comprehe nsive analysis of EU tax legislation and ECJ tax jurisprudence from 1958 to 2007, we show that at the same time, the EU exerts considerable regulatory control over the member states’ taxing power and imposes tighter constraints on member state taxes than the US federal government imposes on state taxation. These findings contradict the standard account of the EU as a regulatory polity which specializes in apolitical issues of market creation and leaves political issues to the member states: Despite strong safeguards, the EU massively regulates the highly salient issue of member state taxation.

Whereas international cooperation in other fields has been widely analyzed, there is no systematic measure of the development and intensity of international police cooperation over time. The paper disaggregates the monopoly of force into three components (legitimation, methods and authorization) and analyzes how international police coop eration in Western Europe has developed since the 1960s and how strongly it impinges upon state sovereignty. Whereas in the 1960s, most international institutions in the field were only weak, the state monopoly of the legitimate use of force has been embedded, pooled or even delegated since the 1990s. Even in its core activity, the Western European state has become part of a multi-level system of governance.

T1 - Beyond Matrices and Black-box Algorithms: Setting Marketing Priorities with Marketing Strategy Conferences N2 - With this paper, we introduce the Marketing Strategy Conference approach to set strategic marketing priorities effectively and allocate marketing-related resources accordingly. The system is based on managerial preference modelling with a decision model (analytical side) and communication-enhancing strategy conferencing (interactive side). After a review of alternative resource allocation frameworks, as rule-of-thumb approaches, matrix-based analyses, statistical analyses and management science models, we analyse existing analytical, behavioural and organisational impediments to effective marketing resource allocation. Addressing some of these impediments, this paper outlines two Marketing Strategy Conference cases, which we carried out for the pharmaceutical company, Schering Argentina T3 - Hertie School Working Papers Series - 23 Y1 - 2008 UR - https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:kobv:b1570-opus4-811 ER - TY - RPRT A1 - Bühlmann, Marc A1 - Merkel, Wolfgang A1 - Wessels, Bernhard T1 - The quality of democracy : democracy barometer for established democracies T3 - Hertie School Working Papers Series - 22 Y1 - 2008 UR - https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:kobv:b1570-opus4-809 ER - TY - RPRT A1 - Offe, Claus T1 - Current issues in the politics of justice : economic, political, and social T3 - Hertie School Working Papers Series - 21 Y1 - 2008 UR - https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:kobv:b1570-opus4-790 ER - TY - RPRT A1 - Offe, Claus T1 - Do Western Universities have a mission to educate?

A1 - Hassel, Anke T1 - Pathways of change in CMEs : training regimes in Germany and the Netherlands N2 - This paper provides a comparative analysis of training regimes in Germany and the Netherlands. Both countries are CMEs with similar institutions, but their training regimes differ in important ways. The paper first maps the similarities and differences in the training regimes in both countries and then turns to three questions that frame the analysis of these similarities and differences. First, how have skills regimes adjusted to changes in economic and employment structure, such as de-industrialization and the rise of the service economy? Second, how much does the structure and adaptability of the raining regime help to explain the relative success of the Dutch employment miracle? Does the Dutch training regime represent successful institutional adaptation to changed economic circumstances? Conversely, does the inflexibility of the training regime contribute to the German employment malaise? Finally, what do these findings suggest for the analysis of the political economy of skills regimes in other CMEs?

Der Schwerpunkt liegt dabei auf dem Versicherungsmarkt innerhalb der Gesetzlichen Krankenversicherung (GKV). Besondere Beachtung findet der im Rahmen der letzten Gesundheitsreform vereinbarte Bundeszuschuss für das deutsche Gesundheitswesen. Die Analyse kommt zu dem Ergebnis, dass durch das GKV-WSG keine effiziente und sachdienliche Verwendung der bereitgestellten Steuermittel sichergestellt wird. Im Versicherungsmarkt wird es aufgrund der Begrenzung des Zusatzbeitrages auf ein Prozent des Einkommens der Versicherten ohne eine Modifizierung der Überforderungsklausel zu erheblichen Wettbewerbsverzerrungen kommen. Die Wettbewerbsverzerrungen werden zu Effizienzverlusten und damit zu unnötigen Mehrausgaben in der Gesetzlichen Krankenversicherung führen. Das BMF sollte sich daher aktiv an der gesundheitspolitischen Debatte beteiligen und sich für die Abschaffung der Überforderungsklausel einsetzten. Alternative Modelle, die eine finanzielle Überforderung von Versicherten mit niedrigen Einkommen durch den Zusatzbeitrag verhindern, sollten hinsichtlich ihrer ordnungs- sowie finanzpolitischen Wirkung untersucht und gegebenenfalls in die Diskussion eingebracht werden. Die Ausgestaltung des morbiditätsorientierten Risikostrukturausgleichs sollte kritisch begleitet werden.
