Das Werk legt eine Bestandsaufnahme der Leistungsfähigkeit der politikwissenschaftlichen Teildisziplin der Internationalen Beziehungen (IB) vor.
Es wird gefragt, inwieweit im deutschsprachigen Raum eigenständige Forschungsakzente entwickelt wurden, zu welchen Erträgen diese geführt haben und inwieweit das Fachgebiet in der Lage ist, die realen Veränderungen konzeptionell und theoretisch so zu erfassen, dass sich daraus ein besseres Verständnis der sich noch immer entfaltenden Umbruchsprozesse ergibt. Es zeigt sich, dass sich so etwas wie die »neuen« IB entwickelt haben.
Im Vordergrund der Analyse stehen Prozesse wie Verrechtlichung, Sozialisierung und Globalisierung und weniger Strukturen wie Machtverteilung, Abhängigkeit oder Interdependenz.
Führende AutorInnen stellen die »neuen« IB vor und reflektieren diese kritisch. Der Band ist unverzichtbar für die wissenschaftliche Selbstreflexion im Fach und bietet für Studierende einen perfekten Einstieg in gegenwärtige Debatten.
Der Band enthält Beiträge von:
Michael Zürn, Peter Mayer, Thomas Risse, Antje Wiener, Christopher Daase, Harald Müller, Detlef F. Sprinz, Joachim Betz, Sebastian Harnisch, Martin List und Bernhard Zangl, Frank Schimmelfennig, Philipp Genschel, Christoph Scherrer, Markus Jachtenfuchs, Andreas Nölke, Mathias Albert, Klaus Dieter Wolf und Gunther Hellmann.
(Angabe zum Buch)
The European Union's history exhibits numerous episodes in which Member States have sought to re-enforce their national autonomy in the face of deepening integration. Efforts to re-gain autonomy, however, are often accompanied by legitimate concerns that autonomy will lead to dis-integration or will have wider destructive consequences. The EU thus faces a dilemma. Calls for autonomy cannot all be dismissed as mere populist rhetoric or national egoism but instead represent a legitimate questioning of the degree of uniformity that EU law and politics presently carry. At the same time, the fear that greater autonomy may carry dis-integrative effects is also legitimate -uniformity is not an accidental by-product of the EU's construction but intrinsically related to its policy goals. Giving too much room for autonomy might create an opportunity structure for the loss of collective goods, deficits in problem-solving, and perhaps even to self-destruction.
The EU requires autonomy, but in doing so, it must also avoid collapse. Can it achieve it, and if so, how? Autonomy without Collapse is devoted to exploring innovative answers to this question. It draws together scholars in law and political science interested in exploring how to overcome the central dilemma of preserving sustainable yet real autonomy in the future European Union.
EU Police Cooperation (1976 - 2016). State Preferences in the Context of Differentiated Integration
(2019)
European internal security has become increasingly relevant in recent years. Various incidents across EU Member States have demonstrated the transnationalisation of terrorism and organised crime as well as the need to work together to safeguard security in a progressively borderless Europe. Governments and citizens have consistently called for a growing role of the EU and coordinating at this level. In this light, it appears striking that different cooperation initiatives continue to mushroom inside and outside the EU framework. Their parallel emergence duplicates efforts at best but can also obstruct information exchange and produce security failures. This dissertation sets out to investigate why Member States acknowledge the benefits of integration, yet advance differentiation as well.
Concretely, it studies the formation of state preferences in the still largely intergovernmental field of EU police cooperation. It asks which factors shape government positions and how they drive Member States to favour integration. In particular, the influence of cross-country interdependencies, politicisation and policy entrepreneurship might help explain processes of integration and differentiation in this policy area. Their relative importance as drivers of state preferences is studied across the institutional development of EU police cooperation between 1976 and 2016. The analysis is organised around four ‘milestones’ in the integration of this field: 1) the 1976 intergovernmental Trevi Group; 2) the 1995 Europol Convention establishing the European Police Office (Europol); (3) the 2009 Europol Council Decision establishing Europol as official EU agency; and (4) the 2016 Europol Regulation.
This dissertation finds that interdependencies in the fight against common threats mattered most as driver of state integration preferences in the early stages of European police cooperation. More recently, supranational policy entrepreneurship has emerged as key influence of pro-integration attitudes among Member States and can be expected to grow in importance. Politicisation, against it, provides windows of opportunity to this end and acts rather as amplifier of integration pressure from interdependencies and policy entrepreneurs. In sum, the asymmetrical effects of all three drivers explains the formation of diverging governmental attitudes towards integration and can thus help account for the persistence of parallel processes of differentiation and integration.
