Debating Europe: Effects of the “Eurovision Debate” on EU Attitudes of Young German Voters and the Moderating Role Played by Political Involvement

2016

In the run-up to the elections to the European Parliament in 2014, EU citizens had the unprecedented opportunity to watch televised debates between the candidates running for president of the European Commission. The most important debate was the so-called "Eurovision debate", which was broadcasted in almost all EU member states. In this study we explore the responses of a sample of 110 young German voters, who watched this debate, to the candidates' messages and whether exposure to the debate caused a shift in the respondents' attitudes towards the EU. Combining data from a quasi-experiment, real-time response data, and data from a content analysis of the debate, we find that respondents' …

Eiropas Parlamenta preses relīžu par mazās uzņēmējdarbības stāvokli Eiropas Savienībā stilistiskā analīze

2022

Eiropas Parlaments (EP) ir viena no svarīgākajām lēmējinstitūcijām Eiropas Savienībā. EP plenārsēdēs pieņemtie lēmumi tiek īsi apkopoti preses relīzēs. Šī pētījuma mērķis ir veikt stilistisko analīzi EP preses relīzēm par mazo uzņēmējdarbību, tā kā tai ir īpaši svarīga loma ekonomikā. Galvenās pētniecības metodes ir žanra analīze un stilistiskā analīze. Šis pētījums atklāj EP preses relīžu tipiskās leksiskās, gramatiskās un figurālās iezīmes un definē preses relīzes kā žanru. Tiek secināts, ka EP preses relīžu teikumi ir gari un pakārtoti, un tajos ir ievērojams skaits īpašvārdu, klasificējošo īpašības vārdu, viena vārda leksisko darbības vārdu, abreviatūru un metonīmiju.

Mitä odottaa uuden europarlamentin ulkopolitiikalta?

2019

Euroopan unionin on määriteltävä roolinsa ja yhtenäinen politiikkansa yhä monimutkaisemmassa maailmassa. Transatlanttisten suhteiden tulevaisuus, brexitin vaikutus EU:n ulko- ja turvallisuuspolitiikkaan ja vastaaminen globaaleihin kysymyksiin kuten ilmastonmuutokseen ovat tulevankin EU:n parlamentin agendalla. nonPeerReviewed

The parliamentarization of the common agricultural policy and its role as a global actor

2018

The entrance of the European Parliament (EP) in the decision-making process of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) did not signify a great reform of this policy. Even though some advancement was made and the role of the EP was recognizable, the parliamentarization of the CAP was mostly based on micro-level amendments. Therefore, one can assume that the EP missed this opportune moment of the post Lisbon treaty era and did not use it to its full extent. Despite this, the CAP is still a recognizable and influent foreign policy mechanism enhancing the role of the EU as a global actor. nonPeerReviewed

The new European Parliament : the Common Agricultural Policy under codecision after the Treaty of Lisbon

2018

In this thesis, a long analysis has been undertaken that has dealt with a multitude of issues pertaining to the EU, European integration theories, codecision, the Lisbon treaty, the Common Agricultural Policy, transports policy, and environmental policy. One of the most important aspects this thesis has intended to develop is the examination of the changes in the CAP after its inclusion in the codecision system with the Lisbon Treaty after 2009 and until 2014 (seventh legislature of the EP). Interpreting these changes involves the history of the parliamentarization of the EU, mostly since the Maastricht treaty but also since the Treaty of Rome of 1957, as well as the analysis of the EP’s de…

Not Worth the Net Worth? The Democratic Dilemmas of Privileged Access to Information

2017

In this article, we discuss the democratic conditions for parliamentary oversight in EU foreign affairs. Our point of departure is two Interinstitutional Agreements (IIAs) between the Council and the European Parliament (EP), which provide the latter with access to sensitive documents. To shed light on this issue, we ask to what extent these contribute to the democratic accountability in EU foreign policy? It is argued that the IIAs have strengthened the EP’s role in EU foreign affairs by giving it access to information to which it was previously denied. This does not mean, however, that this increase in power equals a strengthening of the EP as a democratic accountability forum. First of a…

The European Union vs. the Government in Warsaw. The political debate around the possibility of applying Article 7 of the European Union Treaty again…

2018

Both the assumptions behind the reform of judiciary, the manner of its introducing and also other elements that influence the current perception of rule of law in Poland have recently become a topic of three plenary debates of the European Parliament. As a result, it was decided that a report on Poland would be prepared, which can offer the basis of applying Article 7, which means disciplining and punishing states that violate the European values. This has exacerbated the political atmosphere in Poland and, first of all, has affected the political debate going on in the country. It is starting to take a more and more brutal form and is characterized by a heavy load of colloquialism, negativ…

British parliamentary attitudes towards a supranational parliament and the Consultative Assembly of the Council of Europe, 1948–49

2018

With a mounting communist threat from Eastern Europe after the Second World War, in Western Europe an attempt was made to create permanent structures not only to help in facilitating cooperation in different fields of life to rebuild societies, but to launch a common European supranational parliamentary body. The creation of the Council of Europe in May 1949 proved to be a compromise. It lacked a workable European parliament, as had been the vision of certain federalists in many Western European countries. During the creation process, the British foreign policy leadership emphasized the weak supranational parliamentarization of Western European politics. In this article, parliamentary debat…
