The Paradox of EU-India Relations: Missed Opportunities in Politics, Economics, Development Cooperation, and Culture, by Shazia Aziz Wülbers, discusses areas where EU-Indian relations are strained and areas where there is meaningful cooperation, and then situates those areas within the broader context of international relations. Wülbers also considers the United States in her study, as much can be learned from comparing EU-India relations with that of the U.S. and India. She addresses the primary issues confronting the EU and India in both the past and in the present, from politics and economics to each entity's role in global technological advances, finishing with a careful discussion of the role of cultural interactions in EU-India relations. Wülbers also looks to the future when she conducts an analysis of policy convergence and divergence to detect upcoming trends between the EU and India. She uses this analysis to make recommendations for policy makers about the way forward.The Paradox of EU-India Relations: Missed Opportunities in Politics, Economics, Development Cooperation, and Culture, by Shazia Aziz Wülbers, successfully identifies problems and prospects in the relationship between two great entities. It is a comprehensive empirical study which ultimately indicates that the Indian worldview is undeniably different from the European Union worldview, and could therefore be the important cause for problematic divergences in foreign policy trends.

This book examines the role of innovation in local public administration across Europe and highlights its value in terms of promoting sustainable development, inclusion and citizen participation.

Warum scheitern ambitionierte Nachhaltigkeitsgesetze oft an den politischen und ökonomischen Realitäten?Und welche Handlungsspielräume bleiben für eine gerechtere und umweltfreundlichere Wirtschaft?Dieser Sammelband zeigt strukturelle Grenzen transformativer Gesetzgebung am Beispiel des deutschen Lieferkettengesetzes und der EU-CSDDD. Während diese Regulierungen als Meilensteine für den Schutz von Menschenrechten und Umwelt gefeiert werden, zeigt sich in der Umsetzung ein Spannungsfeld zwischen wirtschaftlichen Interessen, geopolitischen Abhängigkeiten und sozial-ökologischen Notwendigkeiten. Anhand der Textil- und Automobilindustrie – zwei Sektoren, in denen die Verletzung von Menschenrechten besonders eklatant ist – untersuchen die Autor*innen, warum globale Lieferketten weiterhin auf Kosten von Mensch und Umwelt funktionieren und welche Wege aus diesem Dilemma führen können.Von der strategischen Einflussnahme der FDP auf die CSDDD bis zur geopolitischen Monopolstellung Chinas bei seltenen Erden, von den Machtasymmetrien in der Textilproduktion bis zur Frage nach Mitbestimmung – dieses Buch verbindet wissenschaftliche Analysen mit praxisnahen Perspektiven und zeigt Wege zu einer nachhaltigen Transformation auf.
