National Preferences and the European Union Presidency: The Case of German Energy Policy towards Russia*
2011
This article analyses the formation and development of Member State preferences and positions before and during the European Union (EU) Presidency term.

Socioeconomic effects and the role of public spending decomposition on income mobility: a moderated regression model
