Subnational Authorities and the European Union: Compliance in a Multilevel Implementation System
ISBN: 9783030949785 / Angielski / Miękka / 126 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The European Union, as a regulatory polity based on integration through law, arguably relies more on legal compliance with its policies than any other political system. Proceeding from this point of departure, this book puts the spotlight on the subnational tier and scrutinizes its role in ensuring compliance. Drawing on a dataset of infringement proceedings against federal and regionalized member states, the book shows that strong shared rule, i.e., strong cooperation between national and subnational authorities, can improve national compliance records. In contrast, policy sectors with...

The Path to a Sustainable Civilisationshows that we have unwittingly fallen into an existential crisis of our own making.

The result has been the exploitation of our life support system, our planet, and most of its inhabitants, to the point of collapse.This book argues...

ISBN: 9783031312519 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Moreover, the perception of environmental problems varies considerably on a global scale. The reasons normally cited for these differences largely stem from the environmental policy debates themselves, e.g. poverty, ignorance, capital interests, etc.In contrast, this book shows that concrete...
