This handbook provides comprehensive and expert analysis of the impact of the Brexit process and the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union on existing and future EU-UK relations ...within the context of both EU and international law.
Examining the wider international law implications, it additionally assesses the complex legal consequences of Brexit for both the EU and the UK in their dealings with third states and other international organizations. With contributions from renowned specialists in the field of EU external action, each chapter will analyse specific policy areas to address key challenges arising from the Brexit process for the EU and the UK and propose solutions to overcome these problems. The handbook aims to fill a gap in research by assessing the consequences of Brexit under EU external relations law and international law. As such, it is hoped it will set the research agenda for coming years on the international dimension of Brexit.
The Routledge Handbook on the International Dimension of Brexit is an authoritative and essential reference text for scholars and students of international and European/EU law and policy, EU politics, and British politics and Brexit, as well as of key relevance to legal practitioners involved in Brexit, governments, policy-makers, civil society organizations, think tanks, practitioners, national parliaments and the Court of Justice.
The Routledge Handbook of Local Elections and Voting in Europe represents the standard reference text and practical resource for everybody who analyzes issues such as local electoral systems, voting ...behavior, or political representation in Europe.
It provides comprehensive and expert coverage of 40 European countries - organized along the respective local state traditions - and in addressing a wide range of important questions related to local elections and voting, it broadens the scope of existing analyses quantitatively as well as qualitatively. Finally, it affords a more theoretically grounded typology of local elections and voting. Each country chapter is written by a leading expert and follows a rigorous conceptual framework for cross-national comparisons, providing an overview of the local government system, details on the place of local elections within the multilevel political system, specific features of the electoral system, analysis of the main electoral outcomes in recent decades, and, finally, reflective discussion. Representative democracy is as widespread at the local as at the national level, and as the significance of local authorities in Europe has increased in recent decades, local elections represent a crucial area of study.
The Routledge Handbook of Local Elections and Voting in Europe is an authoritative and essential reference text for scholars and students interested in local electoral politics and, more broadly, European studies, public administration, and political science.

Why Noncompliance traces the history of noncompliance within the European Union (EU), focusing on which states continuously do or do not follow EU Law, why, and how that affects the governance in the ...EU and beyond. n exploring the EU's long and varied history of noncompliance, Tanja A. Börzel takes a close look at the diverse groups of noncompliant states throughout the EU's existence. Why do states that are vocally critical of the EU have a better record of compliance than those that support the EU? Why has noncompliance been declining since the 1990s, even though the EU was adding member-states and numerous laws? Börzel debunks conventional wisdoms in EU compliance research, showing that noncompliance in the EU is not caused by the new Central and Eastern European member states, nor by the Eurosceptic member states. So why do these states take the brunt of Europe's misplaced ire? Why Noncompliance introduces politicization as an explanatory factor that has been long overlooked in the literature and scholarship surrounding the European Union. Börzel argues that political controversy combined with voting power and administrative capacity, explains why noncompliance with EU law has been declining since the completion of the Single Market, cannot be blamed on the EU's Central and Easter European member states, and is concentrated in areas where EU seeks to protect citizen rights.
The OECD and the Directorate-General for Environment, the European Commission department responsible for EU policy on the environment, joined forces to examine current and future water-related ...financing challenges faced by EU member states. These include investments needed to comply with EU regulation for water supply, wastewater collection and treatment, and flood protection. As part of the research, new data was produced on current levels of expenditure for water supply, sanitation and flood protection, as well as on projected needs. It supported a comparison across member states and substantiated tailored policy discussions in selected countries and at European level. This report captures the rationale for the research, the main quantitative outcomes and the policy issues and recommendations that derived from this two-year co-operation. Lessons from Europe outlined in this report can inspire similar research and policy discussions in other parts of the world.
Das Buch führt nach zwei Jahren Erfahrung mit der Datenschutz-Grundverordnung eine Evaluation aus Verbrauchersicht durch und präsentiert 33 einfache konkrete Vorschläge, ihren Text zu verbessern, um ...ihre Ziele besser zu verwirklichen. Daneben erörtert es konzeptionelle Schwächen der Verordnung und entwickelt Vorschläge für Lösungen, die ihren Schutzauftrag erfüllen. Die Verordnung ist für viele typische Anwendungssituationen viel zu abstrakt und provoziert daher Rechtsunsicherheit und Investitionsstau. Sie wird keiner Herausforderung moderner Informationstechnik gerecht und bewirkt dadurch Schutzlücken. Die wiederkehrenden Evaluationen der Verordnung können dazu beitragen, Mängel zu beseitigen und eine Evolution des EU-Datenschutzrechts zu bewirken.
This Routledge Focus aims to investigate and analyse the United Kingdom’s relationship with the European Communities (EC) and the European Union (EU). Since joining the EC in 1973, the UK has had a ...fraught relationship with the organization, declining closer economic union in the eurozone and, often, arguing against closer political union. While some 67% of the UK’s voters opted to remain in the EC in a referendum held in 1975, by June 2016 a narrow majority favoured leaving the EU. This volume evaluates the UK’s journey into the Union, and examines how the country’s voters came to decide on Brexit, and where the UK’s departure from the EU may lead it.

Ekonomski rast i njegovi uzroci dugo se istražuju u ekonomskoj znanosti. U novije vrijeme kvaliteta institucija prepoznata je kao važna determinanta ekonomskog rasta. Može se reći da je kvaliteta ...institucija gotovo neodvojiva od ekonomskog rasta suvremenih ekonomija. Koristeći pokazatelje institucijskog razvoja, autori istražuju jesu li i kako institucije djelovale na rast hrvatske ekonomije u usporedbi s odabranim članicama EU-a6. Autori nalaze da je razvijenost institucija imala zapažen utjecaj na rast, u okviru koje se posebno analizira Indeks ekonomskih sloboda i Međunarodni indeks prava vlasništva. Upravo na tim područjima Hrvatska treba napraviti značajan institucijski pomak, odnosno potaknuti institucijsku promjenu. Pritom se ne smije zanemariti ni bitan utjecaj ostalih formalnih institucija, poput stupnja otvorenosti, vladavine prava, ali ni važnost poticanja promjene neformalnih institucija jer je značaj neformalnih institucija u Hrvatskoj relativno visok. Autori zaključuju da će poticanje institucijske promjene potaknuti i dovesti do pozitivnih procesa ekonomskog rasta.
