DOWNLOAD EBOOKBritain is now definitely a member of the Europe Community. But that union is not and never has been an immutable institution ; and in this enlarged Pelican version of his brilliant Reith Lectures the Director of the Royal Institute of International Affairs argues that it is as likely to be modified by Britain's entry as Britain is to be transformed by membership. At any rate, he maintains, this is no local domestic question. Whatever course she takes, Europe from now on is back in the big league of continental powers. Among the permanent facts which will help to decide the future he identifies the French spirit, the American connection (not always comfortable), the Russian presence and the calls of Japan and the Third World. Andrew Shonfield takes these one by one, and in his final lectures examines the workings of the EEC and tackles the importance and the difficulty of endowing the monster we are creating with political legitimacy. Somehow "Eurocracy" must ve made to evolve into democracy.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book offers an original interpretation of Britain’s relationship with Europe over a 25 year period: 1959-84 and advances the argument that the current problems over EU membership resulted from much earlier political machinations. This evidence based account of the seminal period analyses the applications for EEC membership, the 1975 referendum, and the role of the press. Was the British public misled over the true aims of the European project? How significant was the role of the press in changing public opinion from anti, to pro Common Market membership? Why, after over 40 years since Britain became a member of the European community, does the issue continue to deeply divide not only the political elite, but also the British public? These, and other pertinent questions are answered in this timely book on a subject that remains topical and highly controversial.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA critical assessment by eminent legal and political science experts in the field, this book examines the two key factors which have deeply affected the position of national parliaments in European integration: the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty and the sovereign debt crisis in the Eurozone. Structured in three parts, the book will address the question, 'Do national parliaments exhibit resilience or resignation in these changed politico-legal and socio-economic circumstances in the EU?' Part I investigates the impact of the aforementioned factors against the theoretical concepts of constitutionalism and democratic legitimacy. Part II evaluates the changing nature of parliamentary functions, and Part III appraises the evolving relationships between national parliaments and national governments, national courts, and EU institutions, in addition to surveying the emerging patterns of interparliamentary cooperation. This interdisciplinary collection yields novel insights into how the deepening of the Economic and Monetary Union and the pursuance of new initiatives for parliamentary action impact the shape and nature of EU democracy.
