The Federal Trust

Here, the Federal trust has gathered a mainly British team of experts to give their critical analyses of what needs to be done to build Europe's competitive position and to create worthwhile jobs. They address the agenda inspired during 1993 by EC Commission President Jacques Delors. Ways are suggested for how the EC, national, regional and local government should move forward together to tackle the big social and environmental problems of the next decades. The contributors conclude that only closer intergration will create the necessary political conditions for sustained recovery.

Economics

As the twentieth century closes, this book looks at one important strand of political thought - federalism - which at one time seemed utopian but which has now found its expression in the European Union. The Federal Trust has brought together the seminal writings of three eminent European federalists: William Beveridge, Lionel Robins and Altiero Spinelli. Bold and far-sighted in their time, the philosophy and proposals of theses men still resonate with those who are committed today to democratic European unification. John Pinder, a prominent post-war federalist, introduces each of the authors and describes their connections. His introduction establishes the historical context clearly and accurately. Pinder writes: ""It is to be hoped that this book on the British and italian origin of post-war federal is thinking, and on some examples of the way in which federal principles have been applied in the development of the European Community and Union, will contribute to a better understanding of these principles and of ways in which they can inform the Union's future"". This book, which republishes the historic writings often for the first time, will be a rich and useful source for students and practitioners of the process of European unification.

The Treaty of Amsterdam

Duff, Andreww

This volume examines the European Parliament s symbolic, representative and legislative roles and will prove an effective stimulus for understanding an institution that is often misrepresented in the media. Members of the media, together with policy-makers, bankers, academics and business people in many fields will accordingly find the study a most useful reference. While the constitutional role of the Parliament within the system of governance of the EU has advanced markedly, its sociological relevance remains at a low ebb. More generally, it is clear that, despite the widening scale and scope of EU-level powers, the salience of specifically EU politics remains low. From a utilitarian perspective, whatever it is that the European Parliament does, MEPs do not appear to be changing the fundamentals of Europe s security and prosperity. It may no longer be enough for the Parliament to seek to close the democratic deficit in the EU without addressing social change. Indeed, on the hypothesis that European integration is the process of social change, the democratic deficit stems from the failure of the European Parliament (with other EU institutions) to develop social cohesion on a transitional basis. In a brilliant essay, David Coombes challenges the existing notions of what the European Parliament does and how it contributes to European unification. He concludes that it must re-invent itself if it is to contribute effectively to the governance of an emerging post-national society in Europe. Ideal for policy-makers, bankers, academics, business and the media from both within and without the current member states.

Coombes, David

The Federal Trust established in 1996 a high level group to study how to expediate the construction of Trans-European Networks (TENS) in transport, energy and information technology. This study group report looks at the role and potential of public-private partnerships in the financing, delivery and operation of infrastructure investment in the EU. It examines best practice in Europe and elsewhere and analyzes the problems inherent in cross-border projects. The report makes policy recommendations with the objective of accelerating the development of public infrastructure on the basis of private expertise and finance. Innovative ways of managing public and private finance are also explored, including public equity and electronic tolls.

Private Partners and Public Network: Federal Trust Report

Cowie, Harry

A full analysis of what may prove to be the most momentous move towards European unification since the Treaty of Rome, presented in a style accessible to the non-specialist reader. The book s distinguished team of contributors, headed by former UK Chancellor of the Exchequer Kenneth Clarke (whose substantial foreword to the book argues that sterling can and should join EMU sooner rather than later) do not minimize the risks involved and are clear about the practicalities. Although quizzical about the current British Government policy, the contributors are scathing in their criticism of those who oppose the single currency project on ideological grounds alone. Their lively discussion will do much to cast light on a key topic that is still poorly understood and make the essential guide for anyone wishing to keep abreast of the great EMU controversy.
