Protecting Marginalised Individuals and Minorities in ECtHR: Litigation and Jurisprudence in Turkey
(2009)
The ECtHR case law played an indispensable role in bringing to light the egregious human rights situation in Turkey in the late 1980s and early 1990s, shedding light to an administrative policy of systematic violations against Kurdish civilians. If awareness of the poor human rights record of Turkey was largely triggered by the ECtHR’s jurisprudence, reforms to improve it were made possible with the emergence of the EU as an actor in Turkish politics. This chapter argues that after decades of litigation history with the Strasbourg court, law and politics in Turkey fall far short of meeting the European human rights standards. While significant progress has been made in recent years in harmonizing the Turkish legal framework with the principles laid out in the Human Rights Convention and the jurisprudence of the ECtHR, the constitutional and legal structure continue to rest on an authoritarian understanding which seeks to protect the interests of the state against individuals at the cost of violating fundamental rights and liberties.
La politique de concurrence
(2009)
POLITIQUES EUROPEENNES offre une vue d'ensemble du système institutionnel, des acteurs, du jeu politique et des modes d'action de l’Union, à la fois dans les domaines où son intervention est ancienne et dans ceux où son influence est plus récente. Agriculture, monnaie, concurrence, mais aussi commerce, enseignement supérieur, social, environnement ou même politique étrangère : l’influence de l’Europe se fait sentir dans un grand nombre de domaines, et pourtant son action reste largement méconnue. Fruit d’une coopération entre politistes, juristes, économistes et sociologues, tous enseignants à Sciences Po, ce manuel sans équivalent en langue française donne les clés pour mettre en perspective les dynamiques de la construction européenne depuis ses origines et pour comprendre les défis auxquels elle fait face aujourd’hui. Conçu comme un support pour des enseignements d’introduction à l’intégration européenne, il propose un panorama clair et synthétique des politiques européennes et de leur développement. Enrichi de nombreux encadrés, zooms, documents et références bibliographiques, il s’adresse aux étudiants, chercheurs et enseignants des premiers et deuxièmes cycles en science politique, droit, économie, administration publique et administration économique et sociale.
What role do firms play in the making of EU trade policy? This chapter surveys the policy domain and lays out the instruments firms can employ to influence decisions on trade. It underlines that European trade policy is characterized by a high degree of institutional complexity, which firms have to manage in order to be successful. In particular, the European Commission works intensively to solicit business input in order to gain bargaining leverage vis-à-vis third countries and the EU member states. This reverse lobbying creates a two-channel logic of trade policy lobbying in the EU. Corporate actors have a very good chance of working closely with the European Commission if they can propose pan-European trade policy solutions. This can be either trade liberalization or EU-wide regulatory restrictions on trade. Demands for traditional protectionist measures, especially those that reveal national interest divergences, are difficult to defend at the supranational level. Protectionist lobbying therefore goes through the national route, with corporate actors working to block liberalization by affecting the consensus in the Council of Ministers. The chapter illustrates this two-channel logic by studying business–government interactions in agricultural trade, textiles and clothing, financial services, and telecommunication services.
The Demise of Statism? Associations and the Transformation of Interest Intermediation in France
(2009)
The powerful imagery of entrepreneurship as a means to induce and explain institutional change is gaining momentum (Greenwood & Suddaby, 2006; Lawrence & Suddaby, 2006). In response to criticisms that institutional theory was chiefly being used to explain homogeneity and persistence, important efforts have been devoted to restoring human agency in explanations of endogenous institutional change (DiMaggio, 1988; Sewell, 1992; Emirbayer & Mische, 1998). However, the image of the entrepreneur as institutional change agent has also been a source of controversy among institutional theorists, especially when accompanied by voluntarist, un-embedded conceptions of individual action (Holm, 1995; Leca & Naccache, 2006). As a result we observe vivid scholarly discussions on how to solve the “paradox of embedded agency”– i.e. on explaining how institutional change is possible if actors are fully conditioned by the institutions that they wish to change (Holm, 1995; Seo & Creed, 2002; Greenwood & Suddaby, 2006). The current debate is important and we welcome more agent-oriented views on institutions. The purpose of this chapter is to advance institutional theory by rethinking various aspects of institutional work (Lawrence & Suddaby, 2006; DiMaggio, 1988) and thereby to contribute new insights into the paradox of embedded agency. We do so by challenging and breaking dominant patterns in current empirical research. While previous research on institutional entrepreneurship has predominantly looked at elite and/or powerful actors (DiMaggio, 1988; Fligstein & Mara-Drita, 1996) who assume either peripheral (Leblebici, Salancik, Copay & King, 1991) or central (Greenwood & Suddaby, 2006) positions, we focus instead on institutional work carried out by actors with limited power and very few resources.
Der Begriff Governance ist ein Erfolgsbegriff und zwar nicht nur in der Politikwissenschaft, sondern auch in anderen Disziplinen, selbst in der eher begriffskonservativen Rechtswissenschaft. Der Preis dieses Erfolges ist die Uneindeutigkeit des Governancebegriffs, was die Governance-Forschung dazu zwingt, sich über die Begriffsverwendung von Governance zu verständigen und die Verwendungskontexte des Governancebegriffs analytisch sorgfältig auszudifferenzieren. Zu beidem will dieses PVS-Sonderheft einen weiterführenden Beitrag leisten. In den Beiträgen der Herausgeber und im ersten Teil des Bandes geht es um erste Konturen einer Theorie von Governance und die Präzisierung des Governancebegriffs. Der Abgrenzung und Schärfung des Governancebegriffs dienen ferner die Beiträge, die sich mit dem Verhältnis zum historisch so dominanten Organisationsprinzip der Hierarchie auseinandersetzen. Mit dem Teil „Governance und Recht“ wird gezielt ein multidisziplinärer Dialog über das Governance-Konzept eröffnet, und zwar in der Hoffnung, daraus gerade für ein Verständnis von Governance als Koordination von Akteurshandeln in Regelungsstrukturen zu lernen. Die den Governanceebenen gewidmeten Teile – von „National“ zu „Transnational“ Governance – beschäftigen sich mit unterschiedlichen Governance-Kontexten und unterschiedlichen Governance-Modi wie etwa Netzwerken und Public Private Partnerships. Sinn des Bandes ist also weniger eine Bestandsaufnahme der Governance-Forschung, sondern eine Verortung von Governancestrukturen und Governanceprozessen vor dem Hintergrund sich wandelnder Staatlichkeit.

Dieser Beitrag diskutiert, inwiefern die Versicherungskontenstichprobe der deutschen Rentenversicherung (VSKT) für Fertilitätsanalysen genutzt werden kann. Ausgangspunkt ist zunächst ein Vergleich der Kinderzahl in den VSKT-Daten mit Informationen aus der amtlichen Statistik. Abgesehen von den jüngeren Kohorten, Ausländerinnen und Personen mit ungeklärten Konten bilden die VSKT-Daten die Fertilitätsbiographien von Frauen relativ gut ab. Besonders geeignet ist der Datensatz für Längsschnittanalysen, die den Zusammenhang der weiblichen Erwerbssituation für Fertilitätsprozesse thematisieren. Die hohen Fallzahlen, der lange Analysezeitraum und die monatsgenauen Angaben zur Erwerbssituation stellen ein einmaliges Analysepotential für Fertilitätsanalysen dar, das wir in diesem Beitrag nur exemplarisch darstellen konnten.
International, aber auch innerhalb der Eidgenossenschaft und zwischen den Kantonen verschärft sich der Standortwettbewerb zunehmend. Entsprechend steigen die Ansprüche an die Führungskräfte im öffentlichen Sektor. Das Top- Verwaltungsmanagement ist verstärkt gefordert, insbesondere in Strategiearbeit, Wissensmanagement und zeitgemässer Staatskommunikation. Inund ausländische Autorinnen und Autoren bieten eine aktuelle Analyse aus Praxis und Wissenschaft und zeigen Tendenzen, notwendige Entwicklungen und Perspektiven auf.(Buchinhalt, Verlagsangabe)
One of the most significant substantive challenges in the interpretation of the Framework Convention concerns the effective protection of freedom of religion of minorities living in Europe. That the freedom of religion and political rights are among the founding pillars of democratic societies has been emphasized time and again by the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR). The significance of these rights and freedoms for religious minorities is obvious due to the importance of religion for their identity and existence. However, in an environment where both the definition of minorities and the substantive scope of Articles 7 and 8 of the Framework Convention are subject to debate, the effective protection of minorities’ rights to exercise their religion individually and in association with the others is a major challenge to the work of the Advisory Committee. A discussion of the religious rights and the corollary political rights of minorities in Europe raises at least two critical questions: the personal scope of application of the Framework Convention and the substantive scope of freedom of religion protected under Articles 7 and 8 of the Framework Convention. In other words, which groups should be deemed as religious minorities in this context and what kinds of rights should they be granted to be able to meaningfully exercise their freedom of religion? This chapter draws particular attention to the disconcerting implications of the ECtHR’s judgment in the case of Leyla Şahin v. Turkey for minority protection in Europe, and urge the Advisory Committee to read Strasbourg’s jurisprudence on religious freedom with a grain of salt.
Political Communication
(2008)
Following the incorporation of the European Convention on Human Rights Act 2003 into Irish Law, legal developments in areas such as criminal, family and immigration law have raised serious questions of compatibility with the ECHR. Developments in the European Court of Human Rights have highlighted the increasing potential for using the ECHR to positive effect in Irish law. This second edition of ECHR and Irish Law examines the impact of the ECHR on Irish law and considers the actual and potential contribution of the ECHR Act to domestic law in a range of areas. The work begins with research on the impact of the Act and an examination of the relationship between the ECHR, Irish law and EU law.
On 1 December 2007, the deadline for the implementation of the Directive 2005/85/EC on Minimum Standards on Procedures in Member States for Granting and Withdrawing Refugee Status expired. The lectures on which this book is based were originally given during a seminar on the Procedures Directive that took place in Nijmegen, at the Centre for Migration Law, Radboud University, on Wednesday 12 December 2007. In light of the very substantial level of interest, we have decided to publish a book on the results of the seminar so that people who were not able to attend may benefit from the wealth of knowledge and information which was shared. This book offers insight in all the different aspects of the Procedures Directive.
Welfare State Formation in the Enlarged European Union: Patterns of Reform in Postcommunist States
(2007)
Eastern Enlargement of the European Union challenged the design of European Welfare states. Many authors discuss the impact of East European social security systems on their West European counterparts and fear a “race to the bottom”. This paper addresses welfare state developments in the eight post-socialist new member states which completed the accession process in 2004, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, and Slovenia (EU-8). We focus on institutional patterns and performance as well as on the impact of internal and external actors of welfare state formation. How do the EU-8 diverge from West European welfare states and how do they fit into the typology of welfare state regimes?

In fast allen europäischen Ländern bleiben heute mehr Männer und Frauen kinderlos als vor zwei oder drei Jahrzehnten. In Westdeutschland werden voraussichtlich mehr als 20 Prozent der 1965 geborenen Frauen und möglicherweise 30 Prozent der höher gebildeten Frauen des gleichen Jahrgangs ohne eigene Kinder bleiben. Das Thema Kinderlosigkeit hat in der jüngsten Zeit eine erhebliche öffentliche Aufmerksamkeit erweckt, jedoch steht die in Medien und Politik geführte Debatte auf wackeligen Füßen. Die dort verwendeten Zahlen zum Ausmaß der Kinderlosigkeit von Männern und Frauen in unserer Gesellschaft gehen weit auseinander und die vermuteten Ursachen der hohen Kinderlosigkeit in Deutschland sind widersprüchlich. Sind wirtschaftliche Unsicherheiten, schlechte Bedingungen der Vereinbarkeit von Familie und Beruf oder einseitig karriereorientierte Lebenskonzepte von Frauen, insbesondere Akademikerinnen, für die hohe Kinderlosigkeit verantwortlich? Fehlt ‚nur‘ ein geeigneter Lebenspartner oder, wenn vorhanden, fehlt diesem das Interesse an Familie
The world's cultures and their forms of creation, presentation and preservation are deeply affected by globalization in ways that are inadequately documented and understood. The Cultures and Globalization series is designed to fill this void in our knowledge. In this series, leading experts and emerging scholars track cultural trends connected to globalization throughout the world, resulting in a powerful analytic tool-kit that encompasses the transnational flows and scapes of contemporary cultures. Each volume presents data on cultural phenomena through colourful, innovative information graphics to give a quantitative portrait of the cultural dimensions and contours of globalization.
This second volume The Cultural Economy analyses the dynamic relationship in which culture is part of the process of economic change that in turn changes the conditions of culture. It brings together perspectives from different disciplines to examine such critical issues as:
• the production of cultural goods and services and the patterns of economic globalization
• the relationship between the commodification of the cultural economy and the aesthetic realm
• current and emerging organizational forms for the investment, production, distribution and consumption of cultural goods and services
• the complex relations between creators, producers, distributors and consumers of culture
• the policy implications of a globalizing cultural economy
By demonstrating empirically how the cultural industries interact with globalization, this volume will provide students of contemporary culture with a unique, indispensable reference tool.
Analyzing the relationship between globalization and cultures is the core objective of this volume. In it leading experts track cultural trends in all regions of the world, covering issues ranging from the role of cultural difference in politics and governance to heritage conservation, artistic expression, and the cultural industries. The book also includes a data section that consolidates the recently commenced but still inchoate work of cultural indicators.

In its focus on the relationships between civil society activity across the political spectrum, communications and democratic change, Global Civil Society 2007/8 explores how activists and organisations are exploiting the effects of globalisation to create or expand spaces for debate and discussion, often using new forms of communications, even in closed regimes such as Burma, Iran and China. In addition to a focus on the civil society activity in illiberal regimes, this edition of the Yearbook examines the effectiveness of democracy promotion efforts by donor organisations and NGOs in transition countries, and how best to reinvigorate democracy in established democratic societies so that citizens can have a greater say in decisions that affect their lives. Global Civil Society 2007/8 is the seventh Yearbook in a series that has become the standard work on all aspects of contemporary global civil society for activists, practitioners, students and academics alike. It is essential reading for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the key actors, forms and manifestations of global civil society around the world today. The Global Civil Society Yearbook is a collaboration between LSE's Centre for the Study of Global Governance, UCLA's Center for Civil Society and for 2007/8 the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania.(About the Book, Publishers Information)

The Maastricht Treaty set a series of convergence criteria that Member States have to meet to join the euro area. The Treaty is not specific, however, about how to prevent free-riding fiscal behaviour once Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) is in place. The Stability and Growth Pact (SGP) represents an institutional response.1 Its design includes preventive and corrective mechanisms. The emphasis for the preventive arm rests on the monitoring of Member State behaviour. Euro-area Member States produce Stability Programme updates yearly in the autumn. The European Commission, for its part, assesses the programmes and makes recommendations to the Council of Economic and Finance Ministers (henceforth ‘ECOFIN’) on whether the programmes meet European fiscal objectives, which in particular includes the achievement of budget positions ‘close to balance or in surplus’. In order to move to the formal corrective arm of the Pact, a Member State would have to be found to have an ‘excessive deficit’.
Turkish domestic human rights organizations (HROs) have played a major role in developing a human rights discourse by using human rights as an interpretive framework to criticize, resist, and reform domestic political, social, and economic arrangements. This chapter contends that since 1986, domestic Turkish HROs have been major actors in the development of a domestically grown human rights perspective in Turkish politics. They have introduced framing issues as human rights issues and paved the way in fostering a culture of minimum guarantees and protections that any individual ought to enjoy within the Turkish political community.
Reform, Zurückdrängung, Abschaffung, Auflösung – wie geht es weiter mit dem Staat? Wie ist es um seine demokratische Legitimation, die Rechtsstaatlichkeit in Zukunft bestellt? Kann er seine klassischen Aufgaben, Sicherheit im Innern und nach außen, Garantie sozialer Gerechtigkeit, noch erfüllen? Diese Fragen machen deutlich: Angelegenheiten des angeblich bürgerfernen Staates treffen in das Zentrum des Alltags des einzelnen.
Von A wie Abfall bis Z wie Zulassung von Fahrzeugen, von äußerer Sicherheit und Krieg über Verbrechensbekämpfung und Terrorabwehr zu Nahverkehr und Autobahn und Verbraucher- oder Umweltschutz – der Staat gilt als all- und endverantwortlich. In seinem »Goldenen Zeitalter« in den sechziger Jahren des 20.Jahrhunderts vermochte er diese Aufgaben als souveräner Nationalstaat mit unangetasteter Legitimität zu bewältigen. Das ist heute nicht mehr der Fall. Es entsteht zwar weder ein Weltstaat, noch wird das Gewaltmonopol zum Privateigentum. Aber der Staat zerfasert unübersehbar: Einzelne Funktionen werden an internationale Organisationen abgegeben, wieder andere an Unternehmen.
Die Diagnose der Gegenwart und eine empirisch fundierte Prognose der Zukunft des Staates sind das Anliegen der neun Untersuchungen, die zu der Schlußfolgerung gelangen: Wir werden eine Vielzahl von einschneidenden Transformationen erleben, und es stellt sich die Frage, ob man den Staat der Zukunft überhaupt noch Staat nennen kann.
