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…
Sequencing toponymic change: A quantitative longitudinal analysis of street renaming in Sibiu, Romania.
2021
Recent scholarship in critical toponymy studies has refashioned the understanding of street names from innocent labels to nominal loci of historical memory and vectors of collective identity that are embroiled with power relations. Urban nomenclatures consist of more than mere linguistic signposts deployed onto space to facilitate navigation. Street names are also powerful signposts that indicate the political regime and its socio-cultural values. Drawing on these theoretical insights, this paper is focused on Sibiu (Romania) and explore the city’s shifting namescape in a longitudinal perspective spanning one century and a half of modern history (1875–2020). The analysis is based on a compl…
Between Differentiation and (Dis)Integration – Theoretical Explanations of a Post-Brexit European Union
2021
The authors of this paper provide a critical analysis of the most prominent theoretical vehicles employed in studying differentiated integration in contemporary, post-Brexit Europe. They discuss the descriptive, explanatory, and interpretative potential of the selected theoretical approaches that are applied at the intersection of disintegration and European differentiation discourse. “The holy grail” of the theorising of the dynamic (and accelerating) processes of (dis)integration and differentiation remains undiscovered. Nevertheless, a constant search for theoretical explanation is needed in the in-depth analyses of the current state of the European Union.
The European Unemployment Benefit Scheme: Legal Basis for Resocialising Europe
2017
Il presente lavoro analizza la possibile introduzione di un Sussidio europeo di disoccupazione (d’ora in poi EUBS) nella temperie economico-culturale della crisi quale strumento tecnico-giuridico per la risocializzazione dell’Europa. Dopo un’analisi del sistema statunitense di tutela della disoccupazione, che rappresenterebbe un idealtipo in ragione del sistema di competenze condivise tra livello federale e statale, il saggio si concentra sulla legittimità dell’EUBS alla luce dei trattati UE: nonostante l’assenza di un’autonoma potestas normativa europea in materia di sicurezza sociale, l’EUBS potrebbe essere giustificato da un’interpretazione olistica del diritto dell’Unione. Da ultimo, pe…
Mediation process: increasing language awareness and developing communication skills
2014
European countries have known mediation for a long time. Notwithstanding that, various approaches and rules of mediation developed in different places all over Europe and Member States still do not have regulated mediation at all (Espluques et al. 2012). The European Union has tackled this problem with the aim to change mediation into a flexible and useful tool for the parties to solve their disputes in civil and commercial matters. The objective of this paper is to provide first a general overview of mediation process on the basis of the Directive 2008/52/EC of the European Parliament and the Council on certain aspects of mediation in civil and commercial matters. Then, attention will be f…

Pesca nelle acque di Paesi terzi e attività “internazionali” di soggetti privati: il caso del Distretto della Pesca e Crescita Blu
2022
Lo scritto affronta il tema della compatibilità dell’attività di cooperazione internazionale portata avanti da soggetti privati, come ad esempio il Distretto della Pesca e Crescita Blu di Mazara del Vallo, con il quadro normativo eurounitario in tema di accordi di pesca con Paesi terzi, prospettando anche un ruolo di garanzia da parte della Regione siciliana, il cui Statuto attribuisce all’amministrazione regionale competenza esclusiva in materia di pesca. The essay addresses the issue of compatibility of international cooperation activities carried out by private entities, such as the District of Fishing and Blue Growth of Mazara del Vallo, with the Community regulatory framework on fishin…
