globalisation/globalization
The article analyzes the impact of the globalization of markets, technologies and companies and of the Europeanization of public policies on state capacities in technology policy. Based on empirical examples from the field of information technology, the article argues that technology policy has been characterized by two contradictory developments in the last two decades. On the one hand, the concepts and strategies guiding public policies have become more and more complex, resulting in comprehensive programs for national and European "innovation policies". On the other hand, as a result of the economic globalization; as well as of changes in the internal structure of the state, the state capacities to implement these ambitious strategies successfully have been eroding. As a consequence, technology policy both on the national and on the supranational level has been confronted with an intensifying strategic dilemma. Finally, the article discusses policy options to cope with this strategic dilemma in innovation policy.

European integration and environment: are we going towards a cleaner federal State? JMWP No. 02.96, December, 1996
Barbagallo, Valentina
governance: EU & national level
European Parliament
globalisation/globalization
decision making/policy-making
environmental policy (including international arena)
The purpose of this paper is to find out the link existing among globalization, fragmentation and integration within the European Union, with special reference to the protection of environment. The basic assumption is that for the reason why environmental protection requires a strengthening of co-operation among member states, the EU represents an unique arena to analyse the way environmental problems are faced and (possibly) solved. At the same time, making use of the multi-level governance model, we aim at analysing the general process of integration affecting the Union, under the pressures coming both from globalization and fragmentation, showing how environmental protection has contributed to the process itself. The multi-level governance model, stating that "European integration is a polity creating process in which authority and policy-making influence are shared across multiple levels of government", perfectly suits with EU environmental policy since contacts between multiple levels of government are required, especially in the stage of implementation. The paper is made up of three main parts. In the first one a general insight on globalization, fragmentation and European integration is provided: the starting point is that the process of globalization affecting the planet and challenging the Nation-state as main actor of international politics needs to be taken into account when analysing the process of European integration. In the same way, pushes towards fragmentation are taken into account. The second part deals with multi-level governance and the way it explains the evolution of the European Union. In the third part a general view of the evolution of EU environmental policy is provided, lingering on the main instrument used by the Union to reach its environmental targets. The final part analyses the processes taking place within the EU and bringing to an effective environmental policy; focusing on the role played by the European Parliament and its Environmental Committee, in shaping EU environmental policy, the multi-level governance lens will be used to discuss the Union approach to environment. As stated in the title, there is a dominating question in the paper: are we going towards a cleaner federal state? Reading through the lines, it will be possible to perceive an inclination towards a federalist interpretation of the EU evolution, though the federalist process is not conceived as a compulsory target, but a "suggested" model chosen for its suitability with the multi-level structure that characterises the EU today.

[From the Introduction]. The paper is divided in six parts. The first one deals with the issue of continuity and discontinuity in the political organization of the world. Globalization and regionalism are the object of the second and third part. Two specific types of regions are reviewed: the "mediterranean" regions and the so-called zones of peace, that is the most advanced stage of region cooperation. Two cases of mediterranean cooperation programmes - the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership and the Black Sea Economic Cooperation - are presented in the fifth part of the paper. The interplay of regionalism and globalization is esamined in the sixth part. The paper ends with an invitation to consider the current European pattern of cooperation as a model to the two contiguous mediterranean regions by diffusion and by demonstration.

criminal matters (organized crime, drug & sex trade)
globalisation/globalization
This essay calls attention on the international dimension of internal security. The "action" side of such a dimensions - that is the growing trans-national crime, mainly organized crime - has yet received much attention. Less attention, and energy, receives the "containment" side, that is the prevention and repression of trans-national crime by national and international institutions. By no means, the "containment" side is in a very early stage of development. Deeds and plans are small and, with regard to the seriousness of the problem, discouraging. However, the nature and size of the problem are so much important that the emergence of the role of international institutions will certainly grow in the years ahead. The first part of this paper looks at the crime side of the international dimension of internal security; the second part, instead, looks at the containment side, that is at the programs of international organizations and the actions of groups of governments aimed at responding to crime at the global level.

Co-managed versus management-dominated globalisation – The implications of the globalisation of assembly and production in the German and French automobile industry on industrial relations with particular reference to the cases of Volkswagen and Renault

[Introduction]. The following essay analyses how the industrial relations actors of the German and French automotive industry, exemplified with particular reference to Volkswagen and Renault, mediate the pressure which has been induced through the increasing globalisation of production structures. The point of departure is the question whether globalisation might lead to institutional and procedural convergence or whether national and company specific modes of mediation, which encourage diverging modes of dealing with globalisation, persist. This question seems justified and plausible against the background of increasingly converging collective agreements on employment and competitiveness in virtually all major European car companies. Taking seriously this tendency of functional convergence the key question of the essay is whether more market-driven regulation modes under the impact of globalisation (e.g. agreements on securing employment and production) have the same implications for the industrial relations at Volkswagen and Renault.

What shapes working conditions? Comparative historical evidence for manufacturing
Vernon, Guy
globalisation/globalization
employment/unemployment
business/private economic activity
The past decade has seen much discussion about the scope for national distinctiveness in employment relations in the context of the globalisation of corporations and markets. This paper employs historical data on aspects of working conditions in eleven nations’ manufacturing sectors to comment on the impact of supposedly intensifying global pressures. With no historic convergence of working conditions evident in a statistical analysis, the paper turns to a preliminary econometric analysis to afford some purchase on the conditions which underpin continuing national distinctiveness. The results suggest that cross-national variation in the exposure of employees to managerial prerogative, whilst being far from the only influence, has played a substantial role in the shaping of working conditions.

What are the limits to economic integration? CEPS Working Document No. 177, November 2001
Brenton, Paul.
globalisation/globalization
general
international trade
This paper discusses the continuing importance of borders, even within the EU, for the volume of international trade and global capital flows. It suggests that a range of factors, including the nature of the commercial, social and legal fabric of a country and the structure of consumers' preferences, act to constrain cross-border exchanges relative to internal transactions. Hence, whilst the process of globalisation may continue, there are likely to be distinct limits to the extent of economic integration. This entails that the traditional roles of governments in OECD countries in providing social welfare and regulating the market economy within national boundaries will not be seriously undermined. However, the situation may differ in developing countries where existing social and legal institutions may be compromised by globalisation rather than acting to dampen its impact.

European Convention
On June 18, 2004 the European Council reached a compromise on the first European constitution. Notwithstanding the inherent unpredictability of the ratification process that might last well into 2006, the European Union has begun a new chapter in its history. Almost fifty years after the conclusion of the Treaties of Rome on March 26, 1957, this stage constitutes the "second founding moment" of Europe. American historian Joseph Ellis has coined this term to characterize the completion of the American constitution in 1787, about half a generation after the United States had gained her independence in 1776. In the US, the work of the "Founding Fathers" was followed by the success of the "Founding Brothers". It would probably seem more appropriate to talk about the constitution-makers as "Founding Brethren". But the issue of whether or not the work of the members of the European Convention that worked out the European Constitution between 2000 and 2002 will be as successful as the work of the Philadelphia Convention is no longer in their own hands.

How can one provide a nuanced, empirically grounded, analysis of the diverse experiences and views of globalization is the question I set out to answer in this paper This paper, therefore, explores the meanings of the European Union for various actors and social groups in Hungary. I argue that from the perspective of Eastern European candidate countries, the EU is a key agent of globalization, and, as such is an appropriate proxy for studying globalization in postsocialism.

"Why 'non-efficiency enhancing' labor-side agreements?: global governance and labor markets: the EU, NAFTA, and the ILO"
Gitterman, Daniel P.
GATT/WTO
ILO
labour/labor
globalisation/globalization
international trade
This paper offers an explanation of why governments agree to labor side-agreements and how the delegation or transfer of regulatory authority varies across two regional agreements-the European Union (EU/Social Protocol), North America (NAFTA/NAALC), and the international system (ILO/WTO). I argue that nations agree to a social dimension or a labor side-agreement because cooperation presents a solution to domestic political problems in advanced industrialized nations. My argument is that governments must seek ways to maximize the economic efficiency gains from free trade and to minimize domestic political opposition. Thus, they strategically delegate or transfer limited authority to an alternative institution in an effort to respond to domestic differences within countries and managed the anticipated distributional conflict between nations, accepting one set of rules in one agreement and another set of rules in the others.

"Globalization, integration, and Europe's defense industry"
Guay, Terrence

EU-US
common foreign & security policy 1993--European Global Strategy
globalisation/globalization
business/private economic activity
This paper explains how Europe's defense industry has evolved from the end of the Cold War by transforming itself from a collection of nationally oriented firms to one domination by two giants. We argue that both globalization and integration are responsible for this development. After describing the evolution of this sector during the 1990s, we present four factors that played key roles. They are: developments within the United States defense industry; the impact of technology and defense economics; general economic restructuring within the European Union (EU) coupled with a nascent defense industrial policy; and progress toward the creation of a European Security and Defense Policy. One of the main implications of this paper is that the EU plays a key and under-appreciated economic and political role in the changes that take place within Europe's defense industry.

"European monetary union as a response to globalization"
Jones, Erik.
welfare state
globalisation/globalization
EMU/EMS/euro
The argument in this chapter is that formation of EMU is about restructuring the financial architecture of Europe in order to enhance-rather than simply diminish-national autonomy. By implication, EMU functions-at least in part-to shore up and insulate Europe's member states during a period of necessary adjustment. The need for adjustment derives from the growing requirement for flexibility in the allocation of economic and political resources. Such flexibility is necessary for market actors and state agents to meet a range of objectives in the provision of goods and services, private and public ... [t]his argument is developed in five sections. The first section makes the broad claim that Europe's economic and monetary union effectively reconstitutes the compromise of embedded liberalism at the regional (European) level. The second focuses on the relationship between capital market integration and the development of greater flexibility in the current account. The third places current account flexibility against the background of broader strategies for macro-economic management. The fourth draws attention to the associated problems of volatility and risk when capital markets are integrated but currencies are not. The fifth section concludes by returning to the problem of reforming the welfare state.

"Globalisation, global and European co-operation, and national telecommunication policies"
Kars, Mirjam.
telecommunication policy
globalisation/globalization
The central question of this paper is the following: To what extent does regional co-operation reinforce or constrain the supposed restrictive effect of globalisation on national policy making freedom, in particular with respect to telecommunications. The central claim of this paper is that the aggregate effect of regional cooperation on the relation between globalisation and national policy making freedom will be a combination of these reinforcing and constraining effects. That is, regional co-operation can have a mix of reinforcing as well as constraining effects, depending on the nature of specific aspects of regional co-operation. These specific aspects of regional co-operation are the following: policy-making, implementation, nestedness in regimes (e.g. WTO), and financial contributions.

"Globalization and the surge of anti-immigration groups in Western Europe"
Messina, Anthony M.
immigration policy
globalisation/globalization
[T]he central purpose of this paper is to explore the linkages between the surge of popular support for antiimmigrant groups and one of the more universal dimensions of globalization, the phenomenon of mass immigration. The argument this paper advances is that the unexpected and often remarkable growth of antiimmigrant groups is linked not so much to the economic or material threat posed by immigration but, rather, to a confluence of domestic factors, the most important of which is the subjective of socio-cultural threat that the permanent settlement of immigrants poses for a critical mass of "native" citizens. The variable of socio-cultural threat is not an independent one floating above the political process, however. On the contrary, as we will argue below, it is very much affected, if not primarily framed, by the mainstream domestic political actors-and particularly political parties-who, at various junctures during the post- WWII period, embraced the arrival and facilitated the settlement of immigrants. It is also significantly shaped by the rhetoric and activities of the anti-immigrant groups themselves, many of which have skillfully and successfully navigated the political opportunity structure within their respective countries to exploit the diffuse fears and resentments of native citizens.

"Farm conflict in France and the Europeanisation of agricultural policy"
Roederer-Rynning, Christilla.
europeanisation/europeanization & European identity
globalisation/globalization
France
agriculture policy
The role of institutional arrangements is analyzed through the case of farm protest in France. Whereas farm protest has often been attributed to local and national dynamics, its connections to the EU's Common Agricultural Policy and international trade negotiations have been manifest on several occasions. Simultaneously, protest raises the issue of change and continuity in farm politics in France. Farm politics represents an exception in the pattern of interest intermediation in France. While comparativists have often singled out France as a peculiarly resilient case of interest group pluralism, farm politics is organized along distinctly corporatist features: it is an exception in the exception. The questions arising are thus the following. Does farm protest represent a critique or the popular arm of agricultural corporatism? And to what extent are changes in the role of protest related to dynamics of Europeanisation and/or globalization?

"The political economy of globalisation and regional integration: The case of tax policy co-ordination in the European Union"
Ugur, Mehmet.
tax policy
regionalism, international
globalisation/globalization
subnational/regional/territorial
Globalisation and regional integration increase the scope for movement between jurisdictions. As a result, tax policy arbitrage and policy convergence can be expected to constrain public policy choices. Nevertheless, regional integration can also enable the policy-makers to reclaim policy autonomy as the rates of return on constituent loyalty are equalized by convergent policy choices. This paper reviews the debate and develops an analytical framework that enables us to explain the linkages between and policy implication of globalisation and regional integration in an open-ended manner. We propose a political economy framework that differentiates between market-driven and institutionalized policy convergence under increased interjurisdictional mobility. The proposed analytical framework is applied to the EU's experience in tax policy coordination. We observe that globalisation and the deepening of European integration have in fact enabled EU and national policy-makers to reclaim policy autonomy and make attempts to halt/reverse the market-driven process of tax competition. Although the pro-active co-ordination effort is still in its infancy, it constitutes a significant development that stands in contrast to the prisoners' dilemma outcomes of the 1980s and early 1990s.

"International Production and the Periphery of the European Union"
Pournarakis, Mike.
europeanisation/europeanization & European identity
international economy
historical development of EC (pre-1986)
general
globalisation/globalization
The dramatic rise in international production in recent years stands out as the most decisive factor in the globalization of economic activity. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has been growing very rapidly in the recent past while international trade ceased being the principle mechanism linking national economies. It is rather the interlinkages of trade and FDI that influence the economic growth and welfare of countries in a global environment that undergoes continuous change. In this trend, the European Union (EU), plays a protagonist's role. Since 1985 we have witnessed a shift in the European Community (EC) from trade-policy-led to production-based integration. The unification of the EC marker was accompanied by a massive FDI inflow while intra-EC investment exhibited a spectacular increase with an unprecedented level of merger and acquisition activity. The EC periphery does not seem to be in position to partake in these dramatic changes in the area of international production. The heavy concentration of transnational activity in the central core of the European Union is in the center of many concerns voiced by the periphery. This paper addresses the above problem. First, the paper attempts to assess the extent and nature of the problem. Secondly, it looks into possible explanations on a cause and effect basis. Finally, the question is raised whether corporate integration supports regional integration in the EU in the absence of a comprehensive FDI policy.

"Globalisation, change and European integration"
Rosamond, Ben.
general
globalisation/globalization
integration theory (see also researching and writing the EU in this section)
historical development of EC (pre-1986)
The primary purpose of this paper is to explore the usefulness of using ideas about globalisation to assist the theorisation of change in contemporary European integration. It reviews the ways in which external context has been used to explain developments in regional integration in Europe and thinks more generally about the globalisation-regionalisation interface. The paper goes on to explore the assumptions about globalisation, global context and the structuring of interests which reside (but which are often unacknowledged) in such accounts. These assumptions tend to revolve around highly rationalistic conceptions of interest which are then separated from the external economic environment so that changes in this environment induce utility-maximizing actors into various forms of strategic re-evaluation. Debate then tends to concentrate on identifying the key actors (state, supranational or non-state) involved in and capable of devising appropriate programmes of action. As a challenge to these assumptions, the paper then draws on constructivist arguments to explore--in relation particularly to the origins of the single market programme--the relationship between ideas, interests and identity on the one hand and the social construction of a context of global threat to ‘Europe’ on the other.

"Regulatory interdependence in a global economy: The globalization of pharmaceutical regulation in the EU and internationally"
Vogel, David.
EU-US
public health policy (including global activities)
globalisation/globalization
Historically drug regulation has been virtually synonymous with national sovereignty. Over the last decade, this has begun to change: national regulatory agencies are more closely cooperating with one another. The European Union has established a centralized drug approval system; the United States Food and Drug Administration has begun to accept foreign clinical data; and a number of industrial nations have made substantial progress toward standardizing their regulatory procedures and requirements. This paper describes and assesses the implications of recent developments in the international coordination of national drug approval policies. It specifically examines the emergence of a single market for pharmaceutical products in the European Union, the globalization of American drug approval policies, and the accomplishments of a new international body, the International Conference on Harmonization of Technical Requirements for the Registration of Pharmaceutical Products.

"Employment programs in Ireland 1987-1999: National, sub-national and supra -national governance in a globalized political economy"
Boyle, Nigel.
Ireland
international economy
globalisation/globalization
employment/unemployment
subnational/regional/territorial
This paper examines how sovereignty is being reconfigured in the Irish political economy. The constitutive features of the "Celtic Tiger" are characterized as: (a) a strategically "competitive nationalism" focused on maximizing foreign direct investment, (b) a simultaneously internationalized and localized domestic governance regime centered on a European model of "competitive social partnership," and (c) a "flexible developmental state" that enjoyed "embedded autonomy." The conventional explanation of the Celtic Tiger focuses on the alliance between an insulated, technocratic state agency, the Industrial Development Authority, and multinational corporations. This paper examines the role of FAS, the Irish Training and Employment Authority, the agency responsible for active labor market policy. It identifies a crucial coalition between FAS, the European Commission and local/regional social entrepreneurs as the basis for an interventionist policy that has been critical to the success of the tiger economy. The parochial and highly responsive nature of Irish politics and the sovereignty-diffusing role of the EU can be seen to be the driving forces behind dramatic policy and institutional innovation.

(Re)theorising European Integration under Globalisation:A Political Economy Approach
Ugur, Mehmet.
integration theory (see also researching and writing the EU in this section)
globalisation/globalization
In the last two decades, the European Union has become wider and deeper. In addition, the number of regional integration arrangements has increased dramatically since early 1990s. Against these developments, the focus of regional and European integration studies has shifted away from the motives for and drivers of the integration process towards policy analysis or the comparative politics or regional blocs. This article attempts to bring the regional integration theory back in by proposing a political economy model that explains the dynamics of European integration, the reasons as to why governments agree to delegate authority to regional (EU) institutions, and the relationship between globalisation and integration.

Mediterranean Migrations: Regionalism versus Globalization
Baldwin-Edwards, Martin.
immigration policy
Portugal
Italy
globalisation/globalization
Spain
Greece
This paper challenges the claim of globalisation as a cause of immigration into Southern Europe and, on an empirical basis, identifies regionalisation as being the primary issue, along with networked migratory patterns. However, the changing patterns of immigration do present challenges to both state and society. It is argued here that recent policy responses in Portugal, Italy and Spain have been inconsistent and irrational – reflecting more the ‘securitisation’ of migration than European reality. Earlier policy innovations are identified, by country and date: most of these have now been abandoned. It is suggested that all of Southern Europe has converged onto a statist, restrictionist model of immigration control that was formerly held only by Greece. The principal characteristics of this model are outlined, along with a migration flowchart and indicative data for migrant flows and sub-flows in Italy and Spain. In the final section, I try to show that the needs of the economy cannot be predicted, immigration cannot be controlled in the manner currently being enforced across Southern Europe, and attempts to do so will damage rather than improve economic productivity and growth. The concept of an accommodating immigration policy is advanced, whereby the state tries to manage the needs of both employers and potential migrants. Six guidelines for policy development are suggested – most of which have already been successfully carried out in the European Union. These are the following: migration in order to find a job; circular cross-border migration; EU level negotiation of readmission agreements; the need for a variety of migration-for-employment schemes; legal residence should not depend upon continuity of employment; and discreet legalisation will still be needed in Southern Europe.

"Global cleavages? How globalization and Europeanization redefine domestic politics in Europe"

europeanisation/europeanization & European identity
historical development of EC (pre-1986)
political parties
globalisation/globalization
This paper explores how the simultaneous phenomena of globalization and Europeanization have, slowly but surely, affected domestic political cleavages in European countries. Yet mainstream political parties are taking a long time incorporating these new issues in their platforms. Extremist parties have seized on this opportunity in order precisely to distinguish themselves from the mainstream parties. And new forms of collective action have emerged, capitalizing on the popularity of the and globalization movement and stealing the spotlight from traditional parties. Why have globalization and European integration percolated as objects of political debate over the last 20 years? Globalization and European integration have clear economic and cultural implications, but how have they become markets of political allegiance as well? Are they contributing to a redefinition of partisan cleavages in the advanced industrial democracies of Europe? Can we disentangle the economic sources of the new cleavages (e.g., from global economic forces) from institutional sources (e.g., from the EU), and how are the two related? Finally, do these global forces produce the same effects across domestic political contexts of Europe, or do we notice national variations?

telecommunication policy
globalisation/globalization
information technology policy
[From the Introduction]. Information, electronics, and telecommunication technologies promise to create communications networks of greatly expanded capacity capable of moving messages across interconnected wired and wireless systems almost anywhere in the world. Such global systems will profoundly affect the economic and social life of all countries. For those countries and economic sectors with a history of significant involvement in electronics, computers, multimedia, and telecommunications, early and timely deployment of state-of-the-art infrastructure may be a matter of prime importance. Many individual countries have made or are making changes intended to accelerate movement toward an information society, in large part because they recognize that a strategic competitive edge in the world economy will likely depend increasingly upon the availability, use, and exploitation of information. A major participant in the information race is the European Union (EU), formerly the European Community. The Commission of the European Union (Commission) has launched a strong push to adopt a common strategy for the creation of a European information society driven by a European information infrastructure. This strategy is aimed at bridging individual initiatives being pursued by EU Member States. [1. Member States now in the Union include the following: Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, and the United Kingdom, Austria, Finland and Sweden joined the Union on January 1, 1995.1]

"The Transformation of Governance in the European Union"
Jachtenfuchs, Markus
Kohler-Koch, Beate.
globalisation/globalization
governance: EU & national level
researching and writing the EU (see also integration theory in this section)
The transfer of political competencies to the European level proceeds in small steps in the daily practice of governance and of adjudication. In large intervals, the results of these processes are codified in treaty form by intergovernmental conferences. It therefore seems fruitful to have a closer look at "governance in a dynamic multi-level system". The first part of this paper recalls the political and legal controversy about the nature of the political order of the Union with the aim of justifying the use of the term "governance" with reference to the EU. More or less isolated from the discussion on the nature of the EU and its possible or desirable future development, scholars increasingly deal with the effects of the integration process on responsible and effective governance within the member states. This debate is linked to a broader concern about the problems and prospects of governance under the conditions of increasing internationalization which finds its expression in the transnational expansion of functional subsystems of society, increasing interdependence and the globalization of problems. Policy analysis has started to deal with the changes in institutional structures and political processes caused by the Europeanization of policies. These questions are discussed in the second part which draws on the contributions to a forthcoming book edited by the authors. The third part focuses on the meaning and the possibility of legitimate and efficient governance beyond the state flamework. The fourth part discusses different institutional models for dealing with the problems of governance in a dynamic multi-level system resulting from the integration process. In the light of the perspective developed in this paper, the final part puts forward some general empirical, theoretical and normative questions for further research.

international economy
globalisation/globalization
welfare state
The present situation of Western European and North American societies offers a panorama marked by increasing disorder and institutional discontinuity. A crucial element in this disorder is the relationship between welfare state institutions and economic globalization. This relationship points to problems which afflict most central institutional domains of modern societies, but also to more disturbing issues like basic insecurities about values and political concepts, about the individual's position vis & vis society and political authority, and about the demarcation of different "spheres of justice". Here we are concerned with globalization and welfare states", a relationship in which all these insecurities are reflected -- and in which all this translates into conceptual and analytic problems and puzzles for the researcher. and this bibliography should provide a first orientation to anyone who begins to confront "globalization and the welfare state". What we have tried to gather together is "raw material". It may help to achieve a more complex and adequate understanding of today's welfare states and the international economic system. However, this bibliography is highly subjective -- perhaps even idiosyncratic --, and it is so for a simple reason. Our background is comparative welfare state research. Therefore we emphasize matters which are white spots in our intellectual world maps, like international relations theory and international political economy. "Hic sunt leones.' we hope that researchers from the 'international" research community will nevertheless find the bibliography useful for their own work.

Globalization, Regional Integration and the EU: Pleadings for a Broader Perspective. ZEI Discussion Papers C162, 2006
Janowski, Cordula.
regionalism, international
globalisation/globalization
[From the Introduction]. Whether we agree to more positive or rather skeptical positions on globalization, it is assumable that globalization and regional integration are related issues. The following reflections will analyze the theoretical debate on globalization and regional integration and the special case of the EU. Is the EU a possible model for regional efforts in other world regions and to which extent? The answer to this question is closely tied to the novel debate on globalization and regionalization. Both phenomena can hardly be isolated from the changes and challenges that started in the early 1980s, but how far are globalization and regionalization linked to each other? This paper will argue that both developments are two sides of the same coin that contradict each other, but condition each other at the same time. The following chapter will analyze globalization and regional integration as an inter-dependant process of a challenge and its response. Based on this, the analysis will discuss the EU’s role in this process. The high attraction of the EU on other world regions requires a closer look on European integration. Could or is the EU a possible global paradigm for regional integration? Doubts are justified on the assumption that the European model as a whole could be imitated by other regions to automatically achieve the same effects (Murray 2004; Kühnhardt 2004). Nevertheless, singular features of European integration may motivate other regions to follow a similar track. The creation of a common market may be one. These reflections allow a few concluding thoughts that will plead for a broader view on globalization, regional integration and the EU.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the social forces that fuel the advancement of science and mathematics. I hope to demonstrate that this advancement is not just due to "internal" forces created only by a need for more scientific knowledge. The energy pushing science and, mathematics forward has an important social component determined by the growing political and social relevance of scientific knowledge. I hope to show that this component is connected and parallel to the political and economic forces that are behind the move towards greater political globalization in the European Community. This has important implications for science policy makers and for scientists, both in Europe and in the United States. These implications will be discussed at the end of this paper.

"British Policy in the European Community: The Commitment to Globalism"
George, Stephen.
U.K.
globalisation/globalization
[From the Introduction]. Britain's relations with the European Community (EC) have always been difficult. Initially British governments refused to become involved in the experiments in European unity; then, after membership, successive governments adopted policies that have attracted the description “an awkward partner”. This image was reinforced by the objections that the Thatcher governments made to certain aspects of the 1992 programme. Although there are signs that a more accommodating attitude is being adopted by the Major government, it is still too early to say that the record has changed fundamentally. It is the purpose of this paper to attempt an explanation of the attitudes up to and including the Thatcher governments.

"European Liberalization of the Airlines: Can the Competition Commission Maintain its Credibility?"
Hellerstein, Judith.
transport policy
globalisation/globalization
competition policy
The European Union (EU) was established to promote a single market among member-states. Political considerations delayed the implementation of such a market in air transportation. The passage of the Single European Act in 1986 and the drive to complete the Single Market by January 1, 1993 increased the pressure on governments to accept liberalization. Moreover, deregulation in the United States, the globalization of markets and the rapid diffusion of modern technology made the EU realize that it not only had to liberalize air transportation, but also create a comprehensive transportation policy covering all sectors: otherwise, the continued competitiveness of European companies in the global marketplace could be compromised. This paper will discuss the various trade distortions created by regulation of air transport, and the liberalization measures introduced by the Commission to mitigate these distortions, and provide insight into whether a free market in European aviation is possible. Parts one and two include an analysis of the liberalization packages and the distortions they were intended to mitigate. Parts three through five discuss the remaining trade distortions, such as competition policy, the substantial infrastructure inadequacies in airport and traffic control that limit challenges from small and new airlines, and the effects of the inexorable trend toward globalization. Although the Commission has made great strides in reforming an industry riddled with price and capacity cartels, where revenue pooling was an accepted means of operation, it must continue these strides by imposing and enforcing tougher restrictions on state aid, changing its slot allocation policy, and vigorously enforce European Union competition rules. If the Commission does neither, or delays in implementing these actions, it not only risks hindering the liberalization underway, but also risks losing its political will and credibility in the process. The recommendations listed in my paper, combined with a renewed commitment by all member-states to work towards increased liberalization of air transport, should resolve the continuing market distortions and create an air transport industry that will further the economic vitality of the EU.

globalisation/globalization
general
Globalisation is being blamed for the squeezing of the middle class and protectionism is being offered as a solution. We argue in this paper that the increase in inequality is a long-term trend resulting from a variety of factors, including the decline in manufacturing, the reduction in the progressivity of taxation and the steady increase in asset prices, and that globalisation has only had a marginal impact on it. Protectionism will not reverse any of these trends. We discuss some policy options aimed at cushioning this increase in inequality and argue that they will likely result in expanding fiscal deficits and pressure on central banks to test the limits of growth.

Building a Common Policy on Labour Immigration: Towards a Comprehensive and Global Approach in the EU? CEPS Working Document, No. 256, 7 February 2007
Carrera, Sergio.
immigration policy
labour/labor
globalisation/globalization
This paper addresses the building of a common EU policy on labour immigration. It reviews the latest policy developments concerning the harmonisation of the rules for admission and residence of third-country workers in the EU. In November 2006, the European Commission published a Communication entitled “Global Approach to Migration one year on: Towards a Comprehensive European Migration Policy”, which reemphasises the need to develop a transnational policy on regular immigration facilitating the admission of certain categories of immigrant workers through “a needsbased approach” and especially taking into account the case of the “highly skilled”. By September 2007 the Commission intends to present two proposals for directives dealing respectively with the conditions for entry and residence of highly skilled workers and a common general framework of rights for all immigrants in legal employment. The main questions evoked by the EU’s ‘global and comprehensive’ approach and these two proposals are considered along with the essential weaknesses that current policy and legal trends in the national arena may pose to any eventual Europeanisation as a result of following their patterns too closely.

Schengen/Prum/border control/freedom to travel
This paper assesses the achievements of the European Commission and the member states over the last six years in the management of Europe's internal and external borders. The key stages in the development of the Schengen acquis are identified, including the creation of FRONTEX (the EU agency responsible for coordinating the operational cooperation between member states in the field of border security) and the recent Schengen enlargement. The author attempts to explain the main reasons why the member states of the European Union have relinquished some of their much-treasured sovereignty and pooled their financial and human resources in a bid to manage and police Europe's external borders more effectively. Finally, this paper considers the fundamental question of how to make Europe's controls more effective, more technologically advanced and more responsive to the new challenges posed by globalisation, without impinging on the principle of the free movement of people.

Europe has witnessed the last decade an accelerated process of economic integration. Trade barriers were removed, the euro was introduced and ten new member states entered the European Union. Economic integration is likely to have an impact on both labor and product markets. Unlike most other papers, that focus on product and labor markets separately, we look at the link between globalization and product and labor market imperfections simultaneously. To this end, we rely on a rich panel of manufacturing firms in Belgium, a small open economy. We find that union bargaining power is higher in sectors characterized by high price cost margins. Moreover, ignoring imperfections on the labor market, leads to an underestimation of product market power. Concerning the influence of globalization, our main findings are that both price cost margins and union bargaining power are typically lower in sectors that are subject higher international competition. This result is especially true for competition from low wage countries.

"La Règle du Jeu: France and the Paradox of Managed Globalization"
Abdelal, Rawi
Meunier, Sophie.
EU-US
OECD
common foreign & security policy 1993--European Global Strategy
GATT/WTO
globalisation/globalization
France
IMF
Globalization is often portrayed as a tidal wave that originated in the US and its policy of laissez‐faire liberalization. This paper argues, however, that globalization is not made only by striking down regulations, but also by making them. During the 1980s, French policy makers began to develop the doctrine of "managed globalization," or what World Trade Organization (WTO) head Pascal Lamy calls today "globalization by the rules." Central to the doctrine has been the French – and European – effort to make rules and build the capacity of international organizations such as the European Union (EU), Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), International Monetary Fund (IMF), and WTO. These organizations then would have the authority to govern commercial and financial globalization. These organizations, however, have also used this capacity to promote liberalization. Thus, the practical effect of the doctrine of managed globalization has been to create a more liberal world. It is a world with rules, a world that is organized, to be sure. But it is also a more globalized world, and one inevitably more liberal as well. This is paradoxical for a number of reasons, including: the traditional French ambivalence about globalization; the creation of the doctrine by the French Left; and the antipathy of American policy makers for these liberalizing and organizing agendas. Most remarkably, the concept of managed globalization has been grossly misrepresented and misinterpreted over the years in the French political and intellectual discourse. Most often, managed globalization is understood to be synonymous with taming globalization to make it less liberal. We explain and restore the more literal meaning of the phrase, which is about ordering and mastering globalization. In doing so, we can also highlight the complex links between globalization and European integration, which can be seen as both a Trojan Horse of laissez‐faire liberalism in the heart of Europe and as the best tool available to France to shape the world of its own choosing.

Supporting Industries in the Age of Globalization and Regionalization: State Aid in the European Union

international economy
globalisation/globalization
competition policy
business/private economic activity
[From the introduction]. Increasing mobility of capital pressures governments around the world to remain attractive locations for investment. In order to attract new firms or to maintain existing ones, governments at national and subnational levels offer various forms of subsidies to firms including direct grants, tax breaks, worker training credits and free land. Competition to attract footloose capital creates similar pressures for governments around the world, resulting in subsidy races that lead governments to bid against one another with growing subsidy packages. There is considerable variation, however, in the level and type of subsidies governments offer. Among European countries which are similarly situated in the global economy, for instance, Austria and the Netherlands provide subsidies for research and development, Portugal, France and Ireland focus on aiding specific manufacturing sectors, and Belgium and Italy stress regional assistance. What explains this variation in government support to businesses? In this paper, I argue that the mobility of capital in the economy and the domestic institutions and politics influence the level and type of subsidies offered by a government.

The new European economy, complete with monetary union, gave rise to the emergence of a New European Economic Policy (NEEP). This paper takes as its task the analysis of: i) forms of the European Union elaborating on some of the specifics of the NEEP; ii) the problems the new European economy has which demand huge reforms: low employment rate, the rigidity of the labor market, non-competition in product and service markets, slowing of process of convergence with American levels, differences in living-standards, ageing and globalization; iii) the elements of the NEEP: Common policies such as those on competition, trade and agriculture, the program of pro-competitive structural reforms, monetary policy, and the coordination of economic and employment policies of the Member States; iv) European policy mix and its high performance except in regard to reforming economies of old Europe. The structural tendencies of the European economy need to be considerably more competitive. While maintaining this policy mix, reformations of the economic institutions need to be realized by linking Europe, competition and solidarity.

"'Becoming Europeans:' Examining the case of educational policy production in Catalonia"
Engel, Laura C.
governance: EU & national level
democracy/democratic deficit
education policy/vocational training
globalisation/globalization
Spain
subnational/regional/territorial
[From the introduction]. In recent decades, Spain has been engaged in a process of massive and dramatic transformation, particularly with respect to democratization and decentralization of most of its public institutions, including education. The nature and scope of these efforts have been influenced largely by policy pressures emanating from supranational (European Union-EU) and global processes, as well as local, regional1, and national state imperatives. This paper focuses specifically on one of Spain’s comunidades autónomas (autonomous communities), Catalonia, in order to examine these dynamic processes in the context of educational policy formation. Drawing on empirical resources, including data generated through semi-structured interviews with key educational actors2 in Barcelona and Madrid, and document analysis of key policy documents collected in Barcelona, Madrid, and Brussels, this paper focuses on contemporary shifts in educational policy production concerning decentralization in Catalonia with respect to a range of multiscalar pressures. First, I broadly discuss the literature on globalization and educational governance and the need to extend beyond binary oppositional frameworks often used in literature on educational decentralization. Next, I provide a background on Spanish democratization and the various pressures surrounding the development of a mass educational system. The last two sections of the paper move from micro to macro perspectives to highlight the complex shifts in governance across regional, national, and EU political spheres.

"Europe in Transformation: How to Reconstitute Democracy?"
Eriksen, Erik O.,
Fossum, John Erik.
democracy/democratic deficit
europeanisation/europeanization & European identity
globalisation/globalization
Europeanization and globalization are frequently held to undermine national democracy; hence raising the democracy in the multi-level constellation that makes up the European Union? We present three models for how democracy can be reconstituted: (a) it can be reconstituted at the national level, as delegated democracy with a concomitant reframing of the EU as a functional regulatory regime; (b) through establishing the EU as a multi-national state based on a common identity(ies) and solidaristic allegiance strong enough to undertake collective action; or (c) through the development of a post-national Union with an explicit cosmopolitan imprint. These are the only viable models of European democracy, as they are the only ones that can ensure equal membership in a self-governing polity. They differ however with regard to both applicability and robustness.

"Globalization and Europeanization: Why Extra-European Processes of Integration Affect how EU Environmental Policy is Implemented"
Kollman, Kelly.
europeanisation/europeanization & European identity
Germany
U.K.
globalisation/globalization
environmental policy (including international arena)
[From the introduction]. The central argument of this study is that the effects of Europeanization and the impact EU policy has on member states cannot be understood without taking certain international factors related to globalization into account; domestic institutional accounts do not tell the whole story. In particular the nature of EU policies, the embeddedness of EU legislation in wider international policy regimes and international market incentives are all important variables for explaining how individual member states implement European policies. The EU, of course, does not exist in an international vacuum and in an era of economic and political globalization, it would be surprising if these international and transnational forces had no influence on the implementation of EU legislation. Yet despite this fact and the level of scholarly attention paid to processes of globalization in the last decade, these factors are rarely examined in the Europeanization literature. To make this argument I examine the implementation of two prominent EU environmental policies, the Large Combustion Plant Directive (LCP) and the Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS) in Germany and the UK. In addition to examining how these policies affect the implementing governments, I also examine how they impact firms—both policies’ ultimate targets—in the two countries. I have chosen the environmental field both because the EU has a well developed and wide ranging set of policies in this area and because the field is strongly influenced by extra-European international forces. Additionally because a number of Europeanization studies have used the UK and/or Germany’s implementation of EU environmental policy (Knill 2001; Duina 1999; Boerzel 2003), this case selection also allows me to clearly illustrate how the incorporation of international variables can serve as a useful alternative/additional explanation of these outcomes.

Changes in Comparative Political Economy: Taking Labor Out, Bringing the State Back In, Putting the Firm Front and Center
Schmidt, Vivien A.
europeanisation/europeanization & European identity
labour/labor
globalisation/globalization
business/private economic activity
Much has changed in comparative political economy in Europe over the past thirty years, both in terms of the political economic realities and the scholarly explanations of those realities. National economic policies and policymaking have undergone major transformations, largely in response to the pressures of globalization and Europeanization. Such transformations have entailed significant alterations in the role of the state, the importance of business, and the power of labor. In light of these changes in the political economic realities, political economists have shifted their focus over time, first taking labor out of the equation, then bringing the state back in only to devalue it in light of globalization and Europeanization before putting the firm front and center. Only recently has the state been brought back in yet again while labor has made a comeback.

As states are becoming more embedded in complex structures of international and transnational governance tangible effects are being seen in terms of the adjustment of the national administrations coping with international decision making processes. The national adjustment can be seen, not only in terms of formal regulation being made outside the state, which has been the focus of most studies of Europeanization and internationalisation, but also in terms of changed practices among the state actors. This paper focuses on the demands placed on national administrations while participating in international decision making. The paper defines the concept of enclaves as more theoretically founded and empirically adequate than common concepts of networks and policy communities often used to describe international cooperation. Parts of the national administration become embedded in transnational context and follow the rules and working procedures seen as legitimate there. The closest colleagues are those from other member states and international organisations. At the same time they get partly detached from the national level and become enclaves in the national administration. The paper investigates the case of the Swedish public administration and its participation in negotiations: on climate change (UN), employment policy (EU) and trade facilitation (WTO). A theoretical framework, combining theories of governance with more explanatory theories on decision making, is applied to the three empirical cases. The second aim of the study concerning democratic legitimacy is carried out through a number of indicators derived from the deliberative and the representative models of democracy.

[From the introduction]. There is currently a strong trend in the international market towards increased liberalization of the air transport sector. This trend is gaining momentum worldwide; Dempsey and Gesell explain: “Although nationalism remains an issue with most countries, global market forces, aided by U.S. policy, are moving the industry closer to an open skies policy.” (2) In addition to U.S. policy, the European Union’s (EU) widereaching developments in the industry are also a driving force that must be recognized; arguably, in recent years, pressure from the EU has taken over from the United States as the driving force for change. Globalization, integration, and regionalization of international economies are thus challenging the traditional approach to regulation of this vital sector, a sector which is experiencing rapid transformation and reform. Due to recent developments in air transport services such as “open skies” agreements between governments, commercial alliances between international carriers, and increased attention to the promotion of free competition, the world appears to be evolving into one global air traffic market. In many important ways the driving force behind this change is the EU. The impact of the pressure from the EU is not only felt by its major partners such as the United States but arguably this pressure from the most important regional grouping in the world is having an impact on other regional arrangements. This pressure from the EU is also making itself felt in the world of international air transport law. Ultimately it will also be felt in the multilateral trade law arena.

Summary. Policymakers in the US, Asia and Europe should not wait until financial markets force adjustment in the large imbalances in global current account positions. Although multilateral consultations organised by the IMF began in Summer 2006, they have yet to be followed by policy actions. The current stalemate is dangerous, as market participants are likely to change their minds at some stage about the sustainability of imbalances. Indications that the main players are able to agree on the direction of desirable domestic policy changes and are willing to accept the exchange rate implications of global current account adjustment would help make this adjustment orderly. The time for action is now.

Summary. The recently adopted European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) is an EU response to the challenge of globalisation. It is to spend up to €500m annually supporting active labour market policies in Member States targeting workers affected by trade-induced (mass) layoffs. In principle, this EU effort to help trade-displaced workers makes sense since trade policy is also decided at EU level. In practice, EGF rules leave too much room for discretionary decisions, exposing it to political posturing and lobbying. During its critical first few years, sound precedents must be established, eligibility rules should be strengthened, and rigorous evaluation should be built into the programme. Otherwise, the EGF may come to be regarded as a political gimmick instead of a useful European response to globalisation.

general
globalisation/globalization
Summary. Europe’s labour and social institutions need urgent reform if we are to grasp the opportunities offered by globalisation and avoid the threats. But the notion of a single "European Social Model" is largely unhelpful for thinking about reforms. Of the four main models operating, the “Nordic” and the "Anglo-Saxon" models are both efficient, but only the former manages to combine both equity and efficiency. Critically, the "Continental" and "Mediterranean" models, which together account for two-thirds of the GDP of the entire EU-25 and 90 per cent of the GDP of the 12-member eurozone, are inefficient and unsustainable. These models must therefore be reformed, probably by adopting features of the two more efficient models. These reforms may also involve changes towards more or less equity.

governance: EU & national level
globalisation/globalization
Progressive Governance emerged in the 1990’s from a critical assessment of the policy failures of economic strategies pursued in the 1970’s and the 1980’s by governments of the centre-left and the left. Drawing lessons from these failures as well as building on a largely common reading of the changes under way in the world economy, a series of quasi-simultaneous policy experiments in advanced and developing economies introduced major innovations to the agenda and the policy toolkit. A key dimension of this reassessment concerned attitudes towards globalisation and economic openness. A decade has passed since this agenda was first formulated. It has been rich in surprises and lessons for policymakers, and the objective of this note is to discuss what has been learned that could help in reassessing the Progressive Governance approach to globalisation.

Notwithstanding considerable other achievements, the EU economic system is increasingly failing to deliver a satisfactory growth performance. As I and my co-authors argued in the 2003 report An Agenda for a Growing Europe, the EU’s growth problem is a symptom of an economy stuck in a system of mass production, large firms, existing technology and long-term employment patterns that is no longer suitable in today’s world characterised by rapid technological change and strong global competition. The report insisted that Europe needs to undertake massive economic and social reforms in order to develop an innovation-based economy, focused on R&D, technology and human capital. It concluded that growth must become Europe’s number one economic priority – not only in the declarations of its leaders but above all in their actions. It also warned that failure to deliver on growth would threaten not only the sustainability of the European model, but also the very process of European integration which is built on the twin foundations of peace and prosperity.

international economy
globalisation/globalization
In the past two decades, globalisation has proven to be not just economic. It is also a political, a cultural and a security phenomenon. Our collective ability to handle all these challenges has not progressed at the same pace as globalisation itself. Today’s rules, instruments and institutions are often inadequate and ineffective to tackle the scale of our challenges, new and old together. Notwithstanding this, serious talk about global governance has been scarce. The very word is sometimes judged divisive. Moreover, after 9/11 world attention seemed to turn to the sole issue of the combat of the threat of terrorism. Global governance suddenly seemed out of sync with today’s anxieties. But neglecting global issues today, spells trouble for tomorrow. No future is inevitable. Ultimately, our kind of future depends on the kind of choices that we are making – or not making – today. The Royal Institute for International Relations set up an informal working group with the aim of drafting an overall concept of global governance. This resulted in ‘Global Governance: The Next Frontier’. Its main aim was to rephrase the debate about global issues by using an alternative umbrella concept. This will help shake up the policy debate, get people to think afresh about these issues and hopefully tie in with some of the creative thinking from the very beginning of the post-Cold War era, that lead to various recommendations many of which still remain valid. ‘Global Governance: The Next Frontier’ rephrases the debate in two distinct ways. First, by equating the functions of governance at the global level with similar functions of governance at the domestic level, thus linking the national society we are all living in with the international community that has to be forged. Secondly, by equating the notion of global governance to that of core global public goods.

In no area is increased openness to international capital movements and trade seen in more apocalyptic terms than in the case of social welfare. For example, the political theorist John Gray regards the demise of the welfare state as a direct effect of globalization: “To imagine that the social market economies of the past can renew themselves intact under the forces of downwards harmonization is the most dangerous of the many illusions associated with the global market. Instead social market systems are being compelled progressively to dismantle themselves, so that they can compete on more equal terms with economies in which environmental, social and labour costs are lowest.” (1)

democracy/democratic deficit
general

law & legal affairs-general (includes international law)
It is generally agreed that the humanity, fairness and effectiveness with which a governments manages its criminal justice system is a key index of the state of a democracy. But the constraints on realization of democratic values and aspirations in criminal justice are markedly variable. In the last two decades, in the wake of both increases in recorded crime and a cluster of cultural and economic changes, criminal justice policy in both Britain and the U.S. has become increasingly politicized: both the scale and intensity of criminalization, and the salience of criminal justice pol-icy as an index of governments' competence, have developed in new and, to many commenta-tors, worrying ways. These developments have been variously characterized as the birth of a "culture of control" and a tendency to "govern through crime"; as a turn towards the "exclusive society"; and in terms of the emergence of a managerial model which focuses on the risks to se-curity presented by particular groups. In the U.S., we witness in particular the inexorable, and strikingly racially patterned, rise of the prison population, amid a ratcheting up of penal severity which seems unstoppable in the face of popular anxiety about crime. In the context of globali-zation, the general, and depressing, conclusion seems to be that, notwithstanding significant na-tional differences, contemporary democracies are constrained to tread the same path of penal populism, albeit that their progress along it is variously advanced. A significant scaling down of levels of punishment and criminalization is regarded as politically impossible, the optimism of penal welfarism a thing, decisively, of the past. This paper sets the nature and genesis of criminal justice policy in Britain and America within a comparative perspective, in order to make the case for thinking that, far from being invariable or inevitable, the rise of penal populism does not characterize all "late modern" democracies. Rath-er, certain features of social, political and economic organization favor or inhibit the maintenance of penal tolerance and humanity in punishment. I argue that, just as it is wrong to suppose that crime can be tackled in terms of criminal justice policy alone, it is equally erroneous to think that criminal justice policy is an autonomous area of governance. Rather, the possibilities and con-straints under which governments develop and implement criminal justice policies are a function of not only perceived crime problems but also a cluster of institutional factors relating to political and economic systems. Notwithstanding a degree of convergence, so-called "globalization" has left many of the key differences among advanced democracies intact, and these may help to ex-plain the striking differences in crime levels, penal severity and the capacity for penal tolerance in otherwise relatively similar societies. Only by understanding the institutional preconditions for a tolerant criminal justice system, I argue, can we think clearly about the possible options for re-form within any one system.

The proponents of globalization contend that European countries are now converging on an Anglo-American model of capitalism. Contrary to this prediction, this paper will show that in Spain globalization and EMU have promoted rather than undermined coordination among economic actors. Unable to escape from economic interdependence the Spanish economic actors have developed coordinating capacities at the macro and micro levels to address and resolve tensions between economic interdependence and political sovereignty. In this paper I show that there is at least one more variety than the two–LME and CME–that Hall and Soskice cite and also that it is possible to develop coordination capacities in countries that lack a strong tradition of such capacities. In particular, this paper analyzes the resurgence of national-level social bargaining in Spain in the 1990s. This development was the result of the reorientation of the strategies of the social actors. In a new economic and political context, marked by a process of institutional learning, trade unions have supported social bargaining as a defensive strategy to retake the initiative and influence policy outcomes.

European elections/voting behavior
Though social scientists have lately devoted themselves to the study of globalization (Waters 1995; Hirst and Thompson 1999), most of these studies have concentrated on its economic and social consequences. Globalization is often seen as a fundamentally unjust process that causes confusion and destroys more than it creates. In many areas, the substantive implications of globalization are left untouched. In this paper, I examine the link between regional integration in Western Europe and the transformation of domestic politics through the example of the European Parliament elections. I argue that globalization through European integration is having a significant impact on French domestic politics. More precisely, the elections to the European Parliament, a supranational political institution, have contributed to the political mobilization of traditionally voiceless groups such as the unemployed and to the introduction into public discussion of new issues tied to Europe, transforming political culture and the relationship between national politics and multinational bargaining (Keohane and Hoffmann 1990, 295). Not only has European political integration provided marginal groups in France with an access to national politics through European Parliament elections, it has also supplied the government and the presidency with new resources, connecting them to trans-European circles and networks that are developing their own political culture. The success of neoliberal economic doctrines in the European Union may have in part to do with these networks. National ministers spend half their time wrestling with European affairs in the Council of Ministers of the European Union and in transnational party structures, developing a common culture and outlook on politics and economics. The main ingredients for this Weltanschauung are well known: electoral cycles should not interfere with economic policy and unemployment figures should not have priority over other monetary indices in the evaluation of economic and political success.

international economy
globalisation/globalization
France
In spite of its mercantilist past, France has reluctantly converted to market liberalism and trade liberalization, both as the unintended by-product of European integration and as a conscious effort by policy-makers. As a result, we should expect France to break free from the traditionally protectionist demands of special interests and instead promote a more open international trade agenda. Nevertheless, the dominant political debate in France today centers precisely on the issue of how much control the nation should retain over its borders. This article analyzes why the theme of “globalization” has met with such a resonance in French public opinion and why France has taken the international lead in fighting the spread of globalization. I argue that the apparent paradox of the French discourse on trade highlights a general shift in the dominant paradigm of trade politics worldwide. The trade debate no longer rests on the traditional openness vs. protectionist dichotomy, but has been recast as Anglo-Saxon globalization vs. preservation of national and cultural identity. The novel features of this new protectionism are, first, that it transcends traditional political cleavages and, second, that it claims to be protecting the interests of the nation as a whole (if not humankind), instead of the special interest of small groups. I call this “global protectionism.” This article first traces the evolution of the anti-globalization discourse in French politics. It then focuses on international factors and on French domestic explanations to account for the extraordinary appeal of the anti-globalization agenda in France. Finally, this article analyzes the potential of the antiglobalization theme for reshaping the domestic political landscape, the course of European integration, and the world political economy.

governance: EU & national level

democracy/democratic deficit
globalisation/globalization
This paper addresses globalization and governance in the EU by attempting to generate some plausible hypotheses that might explain the policy choices of the 12 out of 15 European democratic left governments. With all of the discussion in recent years of a democratic deficit, and then need to maintain a "social Europe," why have these governments not produced more explicit left-wing policies? It suggests three possible hypotheses to account for this apparently mysterious outcome. Hypothesis #1: They want to but they can't. Hypothesis #2: They don't want to because they aren't really left anymore. Hypothesis #3: They could, but they all are suffering from a fundamental failure of imagination. The paper explores each of these hypotheses in two ways. First it examines the initial years of the Schröder government in Germany apparently, pursuing each of these three hypotheses and different times during this period. Then it looks more systematically and comparatively and each of the three hypotheses by including analysis both of Germany and several other EU member states. The larger goal of this work is to provoke discussion and research on what role left political movements can actually play. Is it even reasonable to expect such a group of nation states to develop innovative forms of cross-national governance? Or are new and/or revised forms of representation and governance beyond traditional nation-state models.

Let’s Stop being Gloomy about Europe. CEPS Working Document No. 293/May 2008
De Grauwe, Paul.
EU-US
globalisation/globalization
general
Pessimism has been rampant in many EU-countries over the past decade, largely fed by lagging productivity growth in the EU since the late 1990s and a perception that the US has a superior economic model. This perception has led to the view that the only way to restore higher levels of productivity growth is by introducing deep structural reforms in the EU, making goods and labour markets more flexible. This paper presents the argument that such pessimism is excessive: a significant part of the productivity growth differential between the US and the EU is cyclical, and is already turning around. In addition, there are areas in which the EU is structurally better prepared than the US to face the challenges of globalisation.

globalisation/globalization
welfare state
general
Globalisation is more an opportunity than a menace and the European social model is not doomed. Globalisation is not a zero-sum game but there are undeniably adverse consequences. As a phenomenon of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, there can be little doubt that globalisation is something that resonates widely. But it is not easy to pin down conceptually or empirically. In fact, many of the fears surrounding globalisation are greatly exaggerated and even where justified tend to rest on an incomplete analysis of the process. It follows that to view globalisation as an inexorable and threatening force is simply unwarranted. The policy challenges of globalisation can be grouped under three main headings: equipping the economy to compete in the globalising age; smoothing adjustment; and improving socio-economic governance. Globalisation will increase uncertainties but policy measures should favour the capacity to adjust. Finally, globalisation is not the only rationale for reinventing the welfare state and the challenge for policy-makers is to respond to new paradigms and associated risks by reconfiguring it in ways consistent with the values espoused by the European social model.

Globalisation and Social Risk Management in Europe – A Literature Review. ENEPRI Research Reports No. 23, 26 September 2006
Draxler, Juraj.
globalisation/globalization
general
Globalisation has become a catch-all term imbuing public discussions with a sense of urgency about something that often cannot even be properly identified. This literature review presents an outline of arguments about what globalisation actually can mean, how to measure it and how to face it. Large parts of the world have seen an explosion in trade, cross-border investment flows and innovation transfers in recent years. Quantitatively, this can be captured in the appropriate statistics. On the other hand, in trying to understand the drivers of these changes, it is necessary to describe the changing institutions and actors that play a significant role in this process. Some authors point to the role of the multinational enterprise as a uniquely defining feature of globalisation. It is difficult to disentangle the effect of globalisation from the evolution of the most-developed economies towards a ‘post-industrial’ mode of operation. On top of this, countries are increasingly affected by endogenous social changes such as the diminished role of the nuclear family and population ageing (resulting from falling birth rates and rising longevity). Policy-makers face demands to help citizens cope with the risks arising out of this new state of affairs. In addition to describing globalisation, this paper provides an overview of the possible responses. In particular, it focuses on the growing body of literature that seeks to re-focus the attention on social protection as a ‘productive factor’ and as something that should be seen as part of the larger framework of ‘social risk management’. The latter concept stresses the need to look at social protection as only one component of a larger framework, which contains macroeconomic conditions as well as various state, market and individual tools for managing personal risks.

globalisation/globalization
All long-term scenarios confirm that over the next fifteen to twenty years, Europe’s relative economic weight will shrink as that of new emerging economies – Brazil, Russia, India, and China (the so-called BRICS) – rises. On the one hand, this is a positive development insofar as it adds new engines to world growth, but on the other hand, imbalances are now appearing in energy markets, environmental sustainability, and financial stability. One of the major consequences of globalization is the growing interconnection among markets and, consequently, the growing interdependence of the four main international economic policies: in trade, in competition, in the supervision and regulation of international financial markets, and in monetary relations. With the exception of Europe, leading players of the global system are sovereign states, including the BRICS, for which the policy coordination issue arises only in terms of national interest and national institutions. However, the EU’s external economic policy still bears a problem of dysfunctional governance. If this issue is not addressed properly, an unavoidable consequence is a loss of European influence over the management of international economic relations.

Jean Pisani-Ferry puts forward the idea that the G20 is a significantly less suitable forum for discussion of regulatory matters than of macroeconomic issues and their implications for the institutions of global governance. While it is sensible to involve developing and emerging countries in the reform of financial regulation, they are unlikely to play a leading role. On macroeconomic matters and as regards institutional reform, however, no meaningful discussion can take place without them.

globalisation/globalization
[From the Introduction] Globalization is the pervasive buzzword of the day as we enter the new millennium. From the BBC's Reith lecturers to first-year undergraduates at Bradford University, almost everybody on the ground has a pretty shrewd idea of what globalization means - the rise of the global society, economy and polity. Nevertheless, the perception is widespread that the term 'globalization' is persistent, over-used and under-defined (Devetak and Higgott l999). The first section below investigates further what globalization means or is - and whether it can really be demonstrated to exist. Globalization, whether conceived primarily in terms of markets or in its political or other ramifications, leads us to view the world 'in the round' (Keens-Soper 2000, 54). The Courier (l997) also emphasized the importance of the geographical dimension of globalization in French and other Latinbased languages. But this article argues that the spherical shape of globalization is misleading; globalization is more like a pyramid with powerful elite states, corporations and persons (the latter mostly male) at the top and the more powerless, peripheral and disproportionately female entities at the bottom.

Globalization and Varieties of Capitalism: Lessons for Latin America. Jean Monnet/Robert Schuman Paper Series Vol. 8 No. 18, September 2008

globalisation/globalization
EU-Latin America
In the opinion of some scholars, globalisation is imposing exigencies of increasing competitiveness on national economies that have compelled countries to deregulate their labour markets, welfare systems, and industrial relations. According to this view, these impetuses for change are pressuring countries to move towards an Anglo-Saxon model of capitalism. This paper will challenge the interpretation according to which the responses of countries to these pressures are uniform. Countries have choices and there is not a single model of capitalism that allows countries to be successful in a global economy. This paper will draw from the Varieties of Capitalism literature to outline lessons for Latin American countries.

Globalisation and Social Exclusion in the EU: Policy Implications. CEPS Working Document No. 159, November 2000
Brenton, Paul.
globalisation/globalization
general
This paper discusses arguments in favour of trade restrictions in the EU as a response to globalisation. Its economic analysis unequivocally shows that trade and capital restrictions are not an appropriate response in Europe, even if globalisation is a major factor underlying social exclusion. Better policies exist to achieve redistribution, which do not sacrifice the gains brought by trade and capital flows. Indeed, in Europe, workers who are displaced for whatever reason are caught by extensive social protection systems. It is suggested here that fears that globalisation may undermine the ability of governments to levy taxes and raise revenues and so compromise the welfare state in Europe have little foundation. The paper also looks at “fair trade” arguments for trade restrictions in the EU against countries where there is child labour, discrimination and lack of freedom of association. Again trade policies are not a suitable response and their use could be detrimental to the welfare of those suffering from lack of respect for their basic labour rights. Serious attempts to tackle these problems should be undertaken via the ILO, not the WTO, and should be directed at their underlying cause, poverty.

Adjustment to Globalisation: A Study of the Footwear Industry in Europe. CEPS Working Document No. 151, October 2000

Vancauteren, Mark.
globalisation/globalization
In this study of the footwear sector we seek to assess how producers in different EU countries have adjusted to increased competition from low-wage countries. There are a number of features of the performance of the sector in Europe that cast doubt over the applicability of the standard trade model, which has typically been used to assess the impact of globalisation. These characteristics also undermine a number of common perceptions regarding low-skilled labour intensive industries. Firstly, the trade data clearly demonstrate that as import penetration has increased so have export to output ratios. This suggests that adjustment to more intense import competition could entail the movement of resources into the production of higher quality differentiated fashion shoes and not just the movement of resources to other sectors. Secondly, the group of production or unskilled workers in footwear is far from homogeneous, as is often assumed in discussions of the impact of globalisation. Thirdly, for footwear it is apparent that technological change has not been pervasive. Information regarding two new technologies shows widely varying rates of application across countries. Finally, some EU countries have been able to maintain employment and output in footwear whilst in other countries production has declined dramatically. This suggests that a variety of responses to globalisation are available to firms in OECD countries, including outsourcing and overseas investment, quality upgrading and increased flexibility in the context of industrial districts.

Trends in Disaggregated Import and Export Prices in Europe: Implications for the Trade and Wages Debate. CEPS Working Document No. 141, March 2000

historical development of EC (pre-1986)

globalisation/globalization
trade policy
We consider more carefully the evidence from traded prices (as proxied by unit values) concerning the transmission of the effects of globalisation to domestic labour markets. Using standard index number techniques we decompose changes in sectoral import and export unit values into movements due to changes in pure prices of the initial bundle of goods and changes due to upgrading of the bundle imported. Looking at the imports of selected European countries of textiles, clothing and footwear relative to engineering products we find evidence of strongly falling pure prices of the unskilled intensive products relative to the skilled products in the 1980s. This reinforces the view that import prices capture the impact of globalisation in terms of adverse relative price movements for products produced with the intensive use of unskilled labour. However, the trends are not common across all the unskilled sectors; footwear is clearly an exception. In the absence of detailed domestic data, we look for reactions by domestic firms to increased import competition in movements in the price and composition of exports. We find evidence of stiff price competition from imports being associated with similar movements in export prices and no support for the view that import competition from low-wage countries has led to upgrading of the quality of exports.

globalisation/globalization
general
Globalisation is one of the defining phenomena of today’s economy, albeit one that is loosely defined and prone to exaggeration. For many, globalisation is an opportunity, affording scope on the supply side for increased specialisation, enhanced diffusion of technology, and a competitive spur to innovation and productivity growth. Yet for others, globalisation is perceived to be a threat to the values, institutions and policies that have underpinned post-war Europe’s success and way of life, in short to social Europe. This study examines the social impact of globalisation for the EU economies and the policy challenges that arise. It starts by looking at the conceptual background, then provides an extensive empirical analysis of the different facets of globalisation and its social dimension, and moves on to discuss policy issues. The study’s key message is that the EU as a whole will gain from globalisation, but that these gains will not be uniformly distributed across individuals, regions and countries. Nor will they accrue automatically, but will instead depend on successful adaptation and well-judged policy responses. In particular, the EU has to balance its efforts to boost competitiveness and to transform its economy by adopting and implementing policies that smooth the adjustment process and offer sufficient protection to those vulnerable to the changes and uncertainties that globalisation will bring.

Lisbon StrategyAgenda/Partnership for Growth and Employment
The re-launch of the Lisbon strategy in March 2005 was meant to inject a new momentum into what is now known as the Partnership for Growth and Jobs, and to highlight the challenges that Europe faces in responding to globalisation. More than two years on, it has become clear that most member states fully understand the need to adapt their economies and have shown a growing willingness to embrace economic reform. However, countries continue to differ markedly in their enthusiasm for reform and it is far from clear that ‘Lisbon’ can take much credit for the recent economic upturn. This report offers an assessment of the progress of the Partnership for Growth and Jobs during the 2006-07 cycle. It shows that in some respects real advances have been made, and concludes that the strategy has become more coherent and effective than in the five years after 2000. Nevertheless, the governance of economic reform remains problematic and the report highlights a range of shortcomings that warrant attention. Discussions have already started on how to revise the ‘Lisbon’ Integrated Guidelines for the next phase, from 2008-11, and this report aims to nourish the debate.

The Politics of Adjustment and Coordination at the Regional Level: The Basque Country. CES Working Papers Series 171, 2009

globalisation/globalization
Spain
subnational/regional/territorial
Is globalization forcing non-“Coordinated Market Economies” such as Spain to converge on an Anglo-American model? This paper seeks to build on the hypotheses generated by the literature on “Varieties of Capitalism” to analyze the challenges of developing and sustaining coordination while adjusting for economic change. In particular it seeks to explore ways in which subnational factors promote the ability of socioeconomic actors to develop public-private institutions. By focusing on a particular autonomous region of Spain, the Basque Country, this paper will explore the role of institutional arrangements at the regional level in determining national adjustment. In the Basque Country the relative power and the particular interests of the regional state have been central factors in promoting distinctive patterns of coordination. At the same time, actors’ preferences and policy outcomes have been constrained by the differences in the quality and configuration of institutional frameworks, political deals, and the existing economic structure.

Globalization and Europeanization - A Projection on a European Model of Public Administration
Matei, Lucica

governance: EU & national level
europeanisation/europeanization & European identity
public policy/public administration
globalisation/globalization
The specialized studies and literature present moreover and insistently the connection between globalization and Europeanization, more precisely between globalization and a European model of integration, whose features aim to set up a global-type European society. The development of the European model of integration starts with economic elements, it reveals nowadays the Economic and Monetary Union and in perspective it will be structured within a sui generis system of transnational governance. The values of the European model of integration become fundamental values of a social process, with powerful economic and political determinations, aiming the multi-causal interference between individual, community and European construction. This process, remarked increasingly in the specialized literature, being assigned with the name of Europeanization has got original, functional features in the spectrum of significations of the globalization paradigm. As essential global-type formula, within Europeanization, we shall find models with economic, political or social finality, integrating also a model of administration among the latter ones. When we say administration, we refer to its up dated and adequate contents to the new European developments. This assertion derives from a less economic modality to conceptualize the relationship between globalization and Europeanization, presenting Europeanization more as a political adaptation to globalization and even a political expression of globalization. In this context, the development of a system for European governance on several levels (local, regional, national, intergovernmental and supranational) suggests its evolution towards globalization. In fact, the literature specific for Europeanization asserts the fact that the European model has also features with integrative nature related to the supranational and trans-governmental dimensions, as well as features with normative nature in view of harmonization, also by standards. These assertions, to which we can add also others, are leading to a new model of public administration, whose area overlaps with the space of European Union, incorporating the effects of globalization under its European expression, Europeanization. Consequently, the proposed model, emphasizing the process of European Union construction will comprise transparency, accountability and participation of the interested parties to public decision. The new public administration aims to use efficiently the resources in order to create favourable conditions for its citizens to become more competitive on the world market and to reduce the gap between the poorest and the richest inhabitants of the world. The current paper aims to conceptualize and to describe a model of public administration. The architecture of this model will be that of a complex system, with a mixed architecture, emphasizing connections with different intensities among its various levels: European, regional, national etc. The feedback mechanisms will be different and specific for each level and they will be ensured by different institutions on compatible normative grounds.

decision making/policy-making
This essay comprises three connected but conceptually separate parts. The first part, which is prevalently methodological in nature, contains as yet provisional reflections on the use of the tools of comparative analysis in labour law. This is a crucial issue that has to be reconsidered within the context of an era in which the territorial dimension of the regulation of labour relations no longer necessarily coincides with that of the nation state, and others become equally pertinent: the infranational, the European supranational and the global transnational dimensions. This was the guiding principle of the seminar from which the present paper originated. The second part focuses on the contents of the dialogue between labour law experts worldwide when faced with the radical changes in labour in the post-Fordist era. This transnational dialogue is an event which may be the prelude to the circulation of concepts and regulatory proposals, if not actual models, tending towards global governance of certain dynamics which are currently transforming labour. It is therefore assumed that the international labour law community cannot but accept responsibility for an open-minded interpretation of fundamental social rights, leading towards their global affirmation and effectiveness; an interpretation which, given its openness, must of necessity be of a comparative nature, not least by virtue of the many positive examples provided by high courts operating at a national, supranational and transnational level. This part will introduce a critique of certain cultural mindsets regarding the relationship between comparative legal analysis, national legal systems and market globalisation, attitudes which are not exhibited explicitly but, as often happens in dialogue between labour law scholars, come in the form of political and ideological pre-comprehension; attitudes frequently hovering in the background when specific issues are dealt with. The third and last part, which is closely connected with the previous one, presents a possible new cultural approach to some salient issues, chosen merely by way of example and treated in a general fashion: a) the problem of the relationship between territorial levels of regulation; b) the relationship between the weight and consistency of different regulatory sources (hard vs. soft law) and the related issues of governance. Reference to these issues confirms the increasingly axiological and normative, as compared with cultural and cognitive, function of comparative legal analysis in the era of globalisation. The analysis of these issues is mainly inspired by the constructive critical relativism of Michael Ost and Francois van de Kerchove. The approach is one of trying to imagine a possible way of avoiding certain dangerous epistemic traps that are widespread in current labour law analysis in Italy and elsewhere: the neo-liberal drift or a Third Way topdown approach, or again, the conservative, uncritical defence of tradition. An attempt will, however, be made not to lose sight of those legal principles that are an integral part of the labour law DNA and the values enshrined in the fundamental and constitutional social rights handed down by European "labour law" (legal) tradition.

This paper examines the political mechanisms of welfare state policymaking in two countries with differing levels of institutional and political constraints, Germany and Ireland. The study analyzes the joint impact of political constraints and varying party governments on different dimensions of labor market policymaking. It comes to the conclusion that left-wing governments must cut spending more to accommodate the conservative opposition and gain its support when political and institutional constraints are high. To simultaneously ensure the support from pivotal extra-parliamentary actors, namely labor unions that are closely linked to the governing party, the left has to further compensate the unions' prime constituency, which is the well-integrated core workforce. The privileged treatment of labor market 'insiders' by left-wing governments in countries with high political constraints comes at the expenses of labor market 'outsiders'. Left-wing party governments in countries where political constraints are low are better able to address the needs of broader segments of society.

globalisation/globalization
Globalisation is constantly redefining the processes of individual and collective identity construction. What we are experiencing is a transition period whose consequences are not clear and may be totally unexpected. What appears more clearly is the deconstruction of a world, which has been built by the modern concept of nation-states, which over the last three centuries gave rise to any form of sense of belonging to a collective identity.
If the State suffers blows from all directions, however, it holds and reacts; probably because there is no clear conceptualization, in institutional terms, of the new effective and post-modern centers of powers. Nowadays, identity and sense of belonging assume sense only in a glocal dimension that sums up the tensions in the direction of local and global at the same time.

Ziebura, Gilbert

globalisation/globalization
welfare state
The paper approaches the question whether a distinctive European answer to the challenges of globalization, neo-liberalism, and social disintegration is both available and feasible. After describing the influence the American model of capital accumulation exerted on Europe's economic, social, and cultural development, the paper argues that, in spite of the hegemonic project the United States pursued after WW II, viable national variants of capitalism developed in Western Europe and Japan. With the exhaustion of the Fordist model of accumulation in the 70s and 80s a new constellation arises that threatens the social compromise the European welfare state is based upon. The globalization of production and the politics and ideology of neo-liberalism work hand in hand, producing a shift in the balance of social forces, decreasing national capacities of economic regulation, growing inequality, and the marginalisation of a growing number of social groups. Although there is a convergence of fundamental trends in regard of the modes of accumulation, we are stuck in a highly ambiguous and indeterminate situation. The erosion of national particularities does not lead to total homogeneity, neither inside the triad of USA, Japan and Europe nor inside the European Union. The crises of the traditional welfare state in Europe can only be overcome if a new, independent model of »Social Europe« will be constructed. In doing so Europe faces a dilemma: Only if it manages to overcome neo-liberal policies and develop a common vision of the future it will gain the freedom of action that is needed for such an endeavor and that is lacking at the national level.

globalisation/globalization
One of the defining features of the global economic landscape over the past decade has been the increasing integration and cohesion of the transatlantic economy. Globalisation is happening faster and reaching deeper between Europe and America than between any other two continents. Europeans and Americans have become so intertwined that they are literally in each other’s business, with linkages underpinning a $3 trillion economy and providing up to 14 million ‘insourced’ jobs on both sides of the Atlantic.
In this new CEPS book produced jointly with the Centre for Transatlantic Relations at Johns Hopkins University in Washington, D.C., experts examine the phenomenon of deep transatlantic integration and its implications for a truly free transatlantic market. Case studies are presented in such sectors as aerospace and civil aviation, biopharmaceuticals, services, financial markets and telecommunications, as well as in such controversial policy areas as climate change and emissions trading, corporate governance, and chemicals regulation.
In addition to yielding immense economic benefits, the authors find that the phenomenon of deep integration can also generate frictions when different systems rub up against each other. They conclude that neither the framework for the relationship nor the ways our governments are currently organised adequately capture these new realities.

international trade
This study examines the feasibility, content and likely economic impact of a free trade agreement between the EU and Ukraine. A simple and shallow free trade agreement, adding only the elimination of tariffs on trade in goods to the conditions for WTO accession, is the most easily feasible option, but would yield only modest benefits for Ukraine and less still for the EU. By contrast, a deep free trade agreement (or ‘FTA+’) with the EU, while posing more difficult issues of feasibility, could be a centrepiece of an economic strategy leading Ukraine into rapid growth. An FTA+ with the EU would entail an extensive, yet still selective, alignment of Ukraine’s external and internal market laws and standards with those of the EU. Politically, this step would be consistent with Ukraine’s ‘European choice’.
The country has little or no chance of becoming a prosperous economy and society without openness and integration into the European and global economy, alongside compliance with normal standards of advanced economic governance at home. Not being a natural resource-based economy, Ukraine has no choice but to develop a competitive and diversified economy centred primarily on industrial and service sectors. This point is underlined by the increase in the price of imported energy since the start of 2006.
Nevertheless, there is evidence suggesting that the combination of economic openness, convergence on modern European and international standards of economic regulation and corporate governance and proximity to EU markets could lead to a sustainable high growth path for Ukraine. The country’s economic paradigm could change drastically, with a re-branding of its reputation and with its industry entering into the European and global supply chain. Such a strategy would also be of value to the EU economy in meeting the challenges of globalisation and Asian competition.

In recognition of the fact that EU policies in non-development areas, such as trade, energy and migration, can also profoundly affect the poor in developing countries, the EU has affirmed ‘Policy Coherence for Development’ as an important principle for achieving more effective development cooperation. This new CEPS study analyses whether policy-making processes in the EU Council provide sufficient scope for development inputs to be made in 12 key policy areas: trade, environment, climate change, security, agriculture, fisheries, social dimension of globalisation, employment and decent work, migration, research and innovation, information society, transport and energy. The study also includes coverage of the policy-making processes in the European Commission as it initiates and defends most of the policies being discussed in the EU Council. Its findings point to the highly segregated character of EU policy-making and provide interesting insights into the internal challenges the EU will need to address in order to fulfil its goal of achieving greater coherency in its (external) policy-making. To strengthen the potential for PCD the study suggests six proposals for structural reform as well as a set of specific recommendations.

Although there is a vast amount of critically influential knowledge developed by a long history of strong US environmental justice movements (EJM) from which Europe and the rest of the world can learn, in a time of strong post-neoliberal tendencies in Europe it becomes important to understand the nature of this knowledge, its context and dynamics. This research note aims to contribute to the debate on international environmental justice by addressing the different relationships that the USA and Europe establish with the EJM and its influence on the relational configuration of their current societal contexts.

The EU, the US, and Trade Policy: Competitive Interdependence in the Management of Globalization
Sbragia , Alberta

Competitive interdependence marked the European Union (EU) - United States (US) relationship as the GATT/ World Trade Organization (WTO) was strengthened and as each enlarged its territorial sphere of influence. The EU initially expanded its influence outside Europe by granting nonreciprocal preferences to the African, Caribbean, and Pacific (ACP) states while the US subsequently used the WTO to force the EU-ACP relationship into WTO-compliance. Adopting regional and bilateral strategies, the US negotiated NAFTA and Latin American and Asian free trade agreements. The US thereby expanded its sphere of influence. The EU responded by negotiating equivalent free trade agreements in both Latin America and Asia. As it expands its territorial sphere of influence, the EU may now be managing globalization by outstripping the US. The US-EU relationship thus is marked by both competition and interdependence.

This research output confirms the strength of the approach underpinning the EFIGE project, which is based on the recognition that firms are heterogeneous in the extent and the pattern of their internationalisation, as they are in many other respects. The project provides more, and more precise, evidence of what makes firms successful and therefore also what makes countries successful in the context of globalisation. Internationalisation, however, also makes firms vulnerable to shocks affecting international trade and may transform them into agents of propagation of global downturns. At the time of the Great Recession of 2009, there was intense speculation about the reasons why trade collapsed much more than output. It was sometimes claimed that global supply chains were not only propagators, but also multipliers of international fluctuations. This report by László Halpern and his colleagues makes use of the fact that the EFIGE survey was – by accident – conducted in 2009 and – by design – included questions about the firms’ response to the global crisis. It provides a fascinating account of what happened to them in an especially turbulent environment. The stylised facts presented in this report are important to bear in mind at a time when Europe is heading for another severe downturn.

Since 2009, ZEI is engaged in a research project titled "Shaping Globality". Following methodological and conceptual work, the scholars engaged in this project have begun to reflect the consequences of the "global turn" on key notions of social order. The new ZEI Discussion Paper brings together several scholarly papers on key notions of social order under the conditions of globality, written by academics of Bonn University: space (Ruth Knoblich/Robert Meyer), norm (Andreas Marchetti), world government (Christian Schwermann) and knowledge (Maximilian Mayer). The ZEI Discussion Paper is edited by Ludger Kühnhardt and Tilman Mayer.

globalisation/globalization
Globalisation has led to new health challenges for the 21st
Century. These challenges have transnational implications and involve a large range of actors and stakeholders. National governments no longer hold the sole responsibility for the health of their people. These changes in health trends have led to the rise of Global Health Governance as a theoretical notion for health policy-making. The Southeast Asian region is particularly prone to public health threats and it is for this reason that this brief looks at the potential of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) as a regional organisation to take a lead in health cooperation. Through a comparative study
between the regional mechanisms for health cooperation of the European Union (EU) and ASEAN, we look at how ASEAN could maximise its potential as a global health actor. Regional institutions and a network of civil society
organisations are crucial in relaying global initiatives for
health, and ensuring their effective implementation at the
national level. While the EU benefits from higher degrees of
integration and involvement in the sector of health policy
making, ASEAN’s role as a regional body for health
governance will depend both on greater horizontal and vertical regional integration through enhanced regional mechanisms and a wider matrix of cooperation.

Chasing globalisation: Germany's economic relations with the BRIC countries. OSW Report, November 2013

globalisation/globalization
The Eurozone crisis has forced German exporters to speed up their expansion onto the emerging markets, in particular Brazil, Russia, India and China. The development observed in those countries has become an important substitute for the consequences of the economic slowdown in Europe.To illustrate the scale of cooperation between Germany and the BRIC countries, it is enough to quote figures concerning Germany’s trade. Between 2000-2011 the share of trade with the BRIC states in the entire German trade exchange rose from 5.5% to 13.3%. In the same period opposite tendencies were observed in the figures relating to trade with the USA, whose share in German trade fell from 9.6% to 6.2%.
The report discusses the major tendencies present in Germany’s cooperation with the BRIC countries, and examines how the German state supports German companies in their business activities on these markets. The main method used to investigate these processes is the economic analysis of trade and capital flows between Germany and the BRIC countries, supplemented by conclusions drawn from discussions with German experts.
The main issue discussed in the text is the role of the state in stimulating the expansion of German companies onto the BRIC markets. In the context of these activities, political relations and the proper use of export and investment guarantees and development aid are of major importance.

Renewal through international action? Options for EU foreign policy. CHALLENGE EUROPE Issue 22 - Challenges and new beginnings: Priorities for the EU’s new leadership. September 2014
Balfour, Rosa
globalisation/globalization
The time has come for the EU to become more curious of the world around it, open and receptive to different ideas, and more articulate and thoughtful about its own. This is a somewhat anthropomorphic description of what would be needed to 'mature' into a global actor. The EU has promoted and managed globalisation while pretending that its political dimension would not require attention. This has led to it punching below its weight globally. Now it is abundantly clear that the systemic weaknesses of globalisation require international action and that the management of internal affairs cannot be divorced from the external context: decision time has come.

general
This paper used cross country data in order to identify the variables that determine the inequality and poverty within countries. The main result is that culture differences have a significant role in the explanation of inequality and poverty differences between countries. Other interesting results are that globalization above a certain level contributes to inequality and poverty, and that inequality and poverty have an inverse U relation in relation to literacy.

Market clusters for international franchising. ACES Working Papers, August 2009

international trade
While many studies of franchising have examined the organizational antecedents of internationalization, few have examined how differences among markets lead to this internationalization. Studies linking environmental factors to the companies' decision to internationalize showed that various political, social and economic factors either attract or repel international franchising investment. We build on these studies' selected variables to understand the similarities and differences among international franchising markets. Using these variables, our results show that countries divide into eight clusters with similar international franchising market characteristics. A discussion of each cluster follows with implications for franchising research.

Repurposing Globalization: Discourse and Political Strategy in New Labour Britain. ACES Working Papers, 2012
Dye, Daniel T.
U.K.
globalisation/globalization
governance: EU & national level
political parties
As elsewhere in Europe and around the world, the discourse of globalization in the United Kingdom—the particular representation of the world as undergoing an epochal shift away from the traditional autonomy of the nation-state—has powerfully reshaped political debate. And this has had important distributional effects on the balance of power in the political party system, most notably in the return to power of the Labour Party as “New Labour” under the leadership of Tony Blair and Gordon Brown. But while it is known that articulations of globalization are embedded in the political system, a systematic analysis linking such discourse with party competition is lacking. In this paper, I propose that many features of the globalist language invoked by New Labour can be explained in terms of concrete strategic aims. Working with concepts of “heresthetics” and “bricolage” drawn from a synthesis of literatures, I illustrate this approach through several representative texts. These findings are then used to make predictions about the kind of globalization discourse to expect in the communications of two nationalist parties in the UK—“least likely” cases for globalism—which can be explored further as part of a larger research program.
