Foreign & International Law

This new textbook offers a path-breaking interpretation of the role of the European Union’s most important member state: Germany. Analyzing Germany’s domestic politics, European policy, relations with partners, and the resultant expressions of power within the EU, the text addresses such key questions as whether Germany is becoming Europe’s hegemon, and if Berlin’s European policy is being constrained by its internal politics. The authors – both leading scholars in the field – situate these questions in their historical context and bring the subject up to date by considering the centrality of Germany to the liberal order of the EU over the last turbulent decade in relation to events including the Eurozone crisis and the 2017 German federal election. This is the first comprehensive and accessible guide to a fascinating relationship that considers both the German impact on the EU and the EU’s impact on Germany. This book is the ideal companion for undergraduate and postgraduate students who are studying the European Union or German Politics from the perspectives of disciplines as wide ranging as Politics, European Union Studies, Area Studies, Economics, Business and History. It is also an essential resource for all those studying or practicing EU policy-making and communication.

Germany and the European Union: Europe's Reluctant Hegemon? (The European Union Series, 62)

Red Globe Press

Over the last decade there have been significant advances in the economic and political integration of Europe, and in the regional integration of the global economy. This study brings together academics from the disciplines of economics, political science and law to reflect on the key theoretical and policy issues arising from this new phase of integration. The study is organized around several themes: the dynamics of regional integration in a comparative context; the dynamics of political integration; conceptualizing Europe's foreign policy role; the governance of the European Community; monetary integration; industrial integration; and the legal framework. Also included are an opening "keynote" article reflecting on the challenges offered by pan-European integration, and a concluding discussion of the research agenda for the 1990s. The book offers insights into the phenomenon of integration in the 1990s.

The Europeanisation of Whitehall: UK central government and the European Union (European Politics)

What has been the impact of the EU on UK central government? This book explores the "Europeanisation" of the work of civil servants and ministers and how they engage with the EU. Drawing on fresh empirical evidence, the volume offers the first comprehensive analysis of the spreading impact of European integration across government. The study is placed in the context of political divisions over the EU but outlines the often neglected way in which the EU has transformed the business of government. It charts the process from the Macmillan government’s 1961 application to join the European Communities through to the end of Blair’s premiership. The book examines the character and timing of responses across government, covering the core government departments and also those more recently affected, such as the Ministry of Defence. The authors argue that central government has organized itself efficiently to deal with the demands of EU membership despite the often controversial party political divisions over Europe. However, in placing their findings in comparative context they conclude that the effectiveness of UK governments in the EU has been less striking.

The way Germany engages with the other states of the EU is often oversimplified and misunderstood. This book offers a nuanced analysis of the German role in the EU, using a novel approach which identifies German influence in the EU in terms of "soft" power. Rather than pursuing interests at the expense of other states, this book focuses on the creation of a "milieu" of multilateral cooperation in which Germany's diplomatic interests can flourish.
