This book explores the future of African-European relations with a focus on achieving equity in a global context. Drawing on the expertise of policymakers, institutional stakeholders, scholars, and practitioners from both the global south and the global north, this contributed book offers unique insights into successful cooperation strategies between Africa and Europe.By offering case studies and clear perspectives, the book covers topics such as the implementation of public policies, the role of culture and languages, judicial independence, e-governance, technical cooperation and project management, energy crisis, economic growth, and global health. Moving beyond conventional development rhetoric and geopolitical divides, this book creates a common narrative for fostering an equitable global society.This book goes beneath the general development rhetoric, exploring the underlying dynamics of African-European societies, their local practices, and cultures. It also critically examines the post-pandemic global health architecture and the energy crisis from an African-European perspective. Additionally, it includes a dedicated chapter on the influential role of culture in shaping African-European relations.

SUBNATIONAL OR REGIONAL PARLIAMENTS with legislative competences are increasingly active in EU affairs and are recognized as POTENTIAL ACTORS IN THE EU''S MULTI-LEVEL SYSTEM BY EU LAW. However, studies on the territorial effects of European integration and on the Europeanization of parliaments as well as parliamentarism have so far disregarded this group of parliaments. In the existing theoretical concepts of ''multi-level parliamentarism'' subnational parliaments do not have a place until now. The book addresses this theoretical and empirical gap. Referring TO STUDIES ON PARLIAMENTARISM, FEDERALISM, AND EUROPEANIZATION the contributions discuss how to include subnational parliaments in the existing research. A total of 74 subnational parliaments from eight member states is affected by the new system, which allows them to participate in the so-called Early Warning Mechanism of subsidiarity control. The situation in six EU member states is analyzed in detail. The country chapters illustrate and analyze how subnational parliaments in the federal member states (Austria, Belgium, Germany) and in the decentralized/devolved ones (Great Britain, Italy, Spain) functionally adapt to the new opportunity structure and discuss the repercussions on legislative-executive relations as well as on interparliamentary relations.

This volume deals with current secessionist movements in states that are or were members of the European Union (EU). It compares the cases of Scotland, Catalonia, and Flanders, which are anchored in three different political systems. However, all three sub-state regions analysed are or were part of the EU multi-level system, and as such, they are subject to the influence of Europeanization. Their secession efforts are influenced by the European framework – including their own EU membership after a possible secession. The three regions, therefore, have different motivations and probabilities for actual secessions.All case studies in this volume are introduced and outlined with theoretical chapters and examined using consistent guiding questions to ensure comparability between the three cases. The analyses are framed by chapters describing other examples of secession processes past and present, and by texts that ask whether federalism or other solutions (so-called ''third ways'') could offer a path beyond secession.

Europäische Politik nimmt erheblichen Einfluss auf die Politikgestaltung in Österreich. Und umgekehrt ist Österreichs Politik konstitutives Element dessen, was "in Brüssel" verhandelt und entschieden wird. Dieser Band geht der Frage nach, wie und unter welchen außen- wie binneninduzierten Rahmenbedingungen die österreichischen Ideen, Strategien und Interessen im Mehrebenensystem der Europäischen Union konzipiert, koordiniert und artikuliert werden. Welche innerstaatlichen Koordinierungserfordernisse und -strategien kommen wann zur Geltung, um österreichische Positionen zu generieren? Wie verlaufen Rückkoppelungsmechaniken zur Absicherung demokratischer und transparenter Entscheidungsketten? Wie beeinflussen sich das politische System Österreichs und das supranationale EU-System gegenseitig?Der Band bietet erstmals eine umfassende Analyse aller an der österreichischen Europapolitik beteiligten Akteure, Institutionen und Prozesse sowie der für Österreich besonders wichtigen Politikfelder. Er richtet sich an Studierende, Lehrende und Forschende der EU-Wissenschaften, an MitarbeiterInnen der österreichischen Europapolitik in Parlament, Regierung, Verwaltung und Interessenverbänden sowie an am Vergleich der Koordination von Europapolitiken Interessierte.Mit Beiträgen vonKatrin Auel, Susanne Bachmann, Erhard Busek, Peter Bußjäger, Doris Dialer, Annegret Eppler, Klemens Fischer, Franz Fischler, Anna Gamper, Josef Glavanovits, Andreas Hackhofer, Elisabeth Kornfeind, David Liebich, Andreas Maurer, Nikolaus Morawitz, Andreas Th.
