Cahiers du Collège d'Europe / College of Europe Studies Edited by: Govaere I/Hanf D/Mahncke D/Pelkmans J ISSN: 1780-9665 L’Europe subit des mutations permanentes. La vie politique, l’économie, le droit, mais également les sociétés européennes, changent rapidement. L’Union européenne s’inscrit dès lors dans un processus d’adaptation constant. Des défis et des nouvelles demandes surviennent sans cesse, provenant à la fois de l’intérieur et de l’extérieur. La collection des Cahiers du Collège d’Europe publie les résultats des recherches menées sur ces thèmes au Collège d’Europe, au sein de ses deux campus (Bruges et Varsovie). Focalisés sur l’Union européenne et le processus d’intégration, ces travaux peuvent être spécialisés dans les domaines des sciences politiques, du droit ou de l’économie, mais ils sont le plus souvent de nature interdisciplinaire. La collection vise à approfondir la compréhension de ces questions complexes et contribue ainsi au débat européen.

Europe is in a constant state of flux. European politics, economics, law and indeed European societies are changing rapidly. The European Union itself is in a continuous situation of adaptation. New challenges and new requirements arise continually, both internally and externally. The College of Europe Studies series seeks to publish research on these issues done at the College of Europe, both at its Bruges and its Warsaw campus. Focused on the European Union and the European integration process, this research may be specialised in the areas of political science, law or economics, but much of it is of an interdisciplinary nature. The objective is to promote understanding of the issues concerned and to make a contribution to ongoing discussions.

Book synopsis

There is agreement in political and academic circles that the European Union

needs a common foreign and security policy (CFSP). The question is how to move

from recognised necessity to practical implementation: from rhetoric to reality.

Many efforts have been made, and indeed the creation of a European foreign

policy is 'work in progress'. Bringing together a multinational team of both young

researchers and established academics, this volume offers a comprehensive

analysis of this process, uniquely combining the examination of the foundations,

institutions, procedures and obstacles of EU-level foreign policy with an extensive

range of case studies exploring European policy 'on the ground' in key areas such

as the Balkans, Africa or the Middle East.

Of use and interest to students of European politics and the general reader alike,

it breaks through the Euro-jargon to provide a clear, accessible and up-to-date

account of this unprecedented system of international relations, with a particular

focus placed on the questions of why EU member states participate in the CFSP

and what impact it enables them to have in geopolitics.

Book synopsis

This book gathers together contributions from thirty-two former and current

professors who have, through their teaching in the Legal Studies Department at

the College of Europe, enhanced the College's reputation as an authentic

European academic postgraduate centre of excellence.

Within their areas of specialisation the authors analyse both the evolution of

European law over the years and more specific questions. The contributions

cover institutional/constitutional law, judicial remedies, the law governing the

internal market and its accompanying politics, competition law, and the law of

the Union's external relations.

Cet ouvrage rassemble les contributions de trente-deux professeurs, anciens et

actuels, du département d'études juridiques européennes du Collège d'Europe.

Par leur enseignement, ceux-ci ont assuré à cette institution, originale par sa

dimension européenne, sa reconnaissance en tant que centre académique post-

universitaire d'excellence.

Les auteurs analysent, chacun dans sa spécialité, l'évolution du droit européen

ou des questions plus particulières. Les contributions couvrent ainsi le droit

institutionnel/constitutionnel, le contentieux, le droit du marché intérieur et de

ses politiques d'accompagnement, le droit de la concurrence et le droit des

relations extérieures de l'Union européenne.

Book synopsis

Is there a specifically 'European response' to international terrorism? Bringing

together practitioners and academic experts this volume analyses the

international context, threat perceptions and multi-dimensional nature of EU

counter-terrorism measures. These cover legislative and operational measures,

internal and international action and cut across all areas of EU responsibility and

activity. A cooperative and coordinated system of national policies and anti-

terrorism capabilities has been set up. However, the EU finds it easier to agree

on objectives than on implementing them effectively.

Of use and interest to students of European and international politics, to

academics, journalists, civil servants and the general reader alike, the book

critically evaluates the efforts of the European Union to protect European

citizens against terrorism and to maintain a balance between the protection of

its citizens and the protection of the rights and freedoms of the individual.

Book synopsis

In the context of the enlargements of 2004 and 2007 the European Union

needed a concept for the future relationship with its new neighbours. The result

was the development of the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP). In return for

sharing European values and effectively implementing political, economic and

institutional reforms, the EU offers economic incentives and closer ties to its

eastern and southern neighbours. The ambitious objective of promoting

stability, security and prosperity beyond its own borders raises questions about

the Union's intentions, means and likely success.

This volume analyses the logic and institutional origins of the ENP and provides

a critical assessment of the promises and prospects of the EU's broader

neighbourhood policies. It does so both from an issue-oriented perspective (e.g.

security, visa policy, trade, aid, human rights, good governance) and a regional

standpoint: eastern Europe, the Mediterranean, the Western Balkans and

Russia.

Book synopsis

La libre circulation des personnes désirant exercer une activité économique au

sein de l'Union fut, on le sait, un objectif important de l'intégration européenne.

Dans un espace en voie d'élargissement géographique constant, la libre

circulation des personnes a certainement joué, et continuera à jouer, un rôle

essentiel dans l'image de l'Union européenne auprès de l'opinion publique.

Malgré une tendance à l'extension du droit à la libre circulation au-delà de son

contexte strictement économique, l'objectif initial, établi dans les traités

fondateurs et solennellement confirmé par l'Acte unique européen, est toujours

en cours de réalisation. En effet, la libre circulation dans un espace sans

frontières intérieures exige, au-delà de l'apport appréciable de la jurisprudence

supranationale, de nombreux ajustements des politiques nationales, qui

touchent à des domaines chers aux États membres et dès lors délicats, tels que

l'immigration, la taxation ou la sécurité sociale.

Cet ouvrage regroupe les actes d'un colloque, qui avait pour but de dresser un

bilan de la libre circulation des personnes au sein de l'Union européenne et de

mettre en valeur quelques perspectives, dix ans après l'expiration du

programme « 1992 » visant à l'achèvement du marché intérieur.

Book synopsis

The rising importance and continuous expansion of intellectual property

protection quite naturally goes together with increasing concern about the legal

and political foundations of such enhanced protection. Nowhere does the basic

equation which underlies intellectual property, namely that the pursuit of short

term private interest by the holders of such property will satisfy the public

interest in the long term, become both more visible, but also questionable than

at the crossroads between the grant and enforcement of exclusive rights with

international trade. Catchphrases, such as patent protection and access to

essential medicines, or access to genetic resources, benefit sharing and

economic development, stand for fundamental tensions and conflicts between

private property and the public interest.

This book presents the contributions that have been made on these and related

topics by a group of internationally renowned experts at a workshop held at the

College of Europe, Bruges.

Book synopsis

The future of Southeastern Europe and connected EU policies are a much more

important issue than just guaranteeing regional stability and sustainable

modernization in the «backyard of Europe». The credibility of the EU, as a global

«soft power» is at stake, with far reaching consequences on the future of the

European integration, affecting both further enlargement and urgently needed

deepening. The strategy oriented analysis commissioned by the Friedrich Ebert

Foundation Budapest is based on an interdisciplinary approach with clear

emphasis on economic issues, such as global, EU-related and intra-regional

trade, foreign direct investments, labour market, migration and financial

transfers. Domestic developments and EU relations of the individual

Southeastern European countries are compared to each other and to the

experience of other transforming countries of Central and Eastern Europe,

already full members of the European Union. Special attention is paid to

conditionality requirements, recent changes and ongoing dilemmas of the EU's

strategy towards the Western Balkans in a critical period of the region, both

regarding their different speed and quality of preparing for full-fledged

membership and the potential consequences of the future status of Kosovo.

Book synopsis

The main objective of the contributions to this book is to bring together two

seemingly different strands of thought: the competition-law analysis of the

exercise of intellectual property, and the discussion about the proper limits of

protection, which at present takes place inside the intellectual property

community. Both are burdened with their own problems, particularly so in

Europe, where market integration and the divide between exclusionary and

exploitative abuses ask for a more dimensional approach, and where the

shaping of intellectual property protection is under not only the influence of

many interests and policies, but a multi-level exercise of the Community and its

member states. The question is whether, nevertheless, there is a common

concern, or whether the frequently asserted convergence of the operation and

of the goals of competition law and intellectual property law does not mask a

fundamental difference - namely that of, on the one hand, protecting freedom of

competition against welfare-reducing restrictions of competition only, and, on

the other, limiting the protection of exclusive rights in the (public) interest of

maintaining free access to general knowledge. The purpose of the workshop

held in 2007 at the College of Europe, Bruges, and whose results are published

here, was to ask which role market power plays in either context, which role it

may legitimately play, and which role it ought not to play. A tentative answer

might be found in the general principle that, just as intellectual property does

not enjoy a particular status under competition law, so competition law may not

come as a white knight to rescue intellectual property protection from itself.

However, the meaning of that principle differs according to both the context of

the acquisition and the exploitation of intellectual property, and it differs from

one area of intellectual property to the other. Therefore, an attempt has also

been made to cover more facets of the prism-like complex of problems than is

generally done.

Book synopsis

The European Union's internal market is the «hard core» of integration and by

far its most precious asset. However a number of deep-seated factors have

impeded the development of a systematic and wide-ranging academic research

programme dedicated to the internal market. The purpose of this book is to

begin to address this predicament with a tri-disciplinary analysis of the internal

market, as scant opportunities for mutual understanding and learning across

disciplines (law, economics and politics) currently exist. Internal market scholars

from all three disciplines collaborated on this project, in which each chapter was

read and critiqued by a scholar from a different discipline. The editors trust that

this unique exercise reveals to many readers the enormous potential for in-

depth and continuous analysis of the internal market and all that it entails. It

also provides an accessible text for students and scholars from all three

disciplines interested in the internal market.

Visions of Europe

Bronisław Geremek15, Robert Picht16, Odile Jacob, Paris, 2007, 467 pp.

[ISBN 978-27-3812-011-3]

Rethinking Europe is now more urgent than ever. The book Visions d’Europe,

published first in its French version by Odile Jacob (Paris), offers some guidance

in this regard. It is at the same time analytical and political, combining high-level

academic expertise with intellectual passion on key controversial subjects such as

democracy and the European institutions; economic, social and cultural

integration; Europe’s borders; and the question of a common European historical memory.

The book is the result of a series of international debates and intense academic

team work organised by the College of Europe, bringing together leading

politicians, intellectuals and researchers from different backgrounds and

generations. Some of the exchanges were highly controversial and enriched the

final version of the texts which we present here. Visions d’Europe does not

pretend to give definite answers or ready-made political solutions, but rather tries

to formulate precise references to the key problems that are often blurred by

ignorance or short-sighted populism. At another level, this approach helps create,

a considerable degree of unity between the diverse and sometimes contradictory

contributions. Reconsidering Europe thus becomes a fascinating school of complexity, rich in paradoxes.
