The European Union (EU) ‘agencification’ process is a story of success. European agencies are relied on in an ever-wider variety of sectors, ranging from the internal market to economic and social regulation. Over the past two decades, they have acquired increasing practical importance, both as an institutional phenomenon and as a method of policy delivery. Unsurprisingly, their functional and normative significance has become central in the institutional discourse and has caught the attention of European legal scholars.

Criminal Matters

During the past nine years, co-operation in criminal matters within the European Union has developed in a rather fascinating way. Before the Maastricht Treaty, which entered into force in 1993, there was not much co-operation in this area at all.During the time before Maastricht, the focus was on the creation of the internal market, on the rules on competition etc. and criminal law did not fall within the scope of the Treaties. Thus, although Community law had (and has) some implications for national criminal law and despite the fact that some conventions were agreed upon within the European Political Co-operation one cannot really say that criminal law questions were formally on the agenda before Maastricht.

Résumé. Dans les discours politiques comme dans la littérature universitaire sur la construction européenne, la dernière décennie du 20ème siècle a été celle de la citoyenneté. Toutefois, la prolifération des théories autour de la citoyenneté européenne s'est brusquement arrêtée en 2001. Ce silence chez les théoriciens européanistes doit-il laisser conclure à une absence de développements en matière de citoyenneté européenne ces dernières années? Dans cet article, nous démontrons que la citoyenneté européenne doit être examinée à la lumière des développements politiques dont l'Union a fait l'objet ces dernières années. La comparaison du Livre Blanc sur la gouvernance européenne (2001) et du projet de Traité constitutionnel (2004) montre une certaine tension dans le discours institutionnel contemporain sur la citoyenneté européenne. L'article propose une nouvelle grille d'analyse pour appréhender cette tension et penser la citoyenneté européenne aujourd'hui; ce nouveau prisme est fondé sur la distinction entre “ citoyenneté de gouvernement ” et “ citoyenneté de gouvernance ”.Abstract. In political discourse as well as scholarly research on the European Union, the last decade of the 20th century was the decade of citizenship. But, despite numerous unresolved questions, there has been a virtual silence on the matter since 2001. Does this mean that there have been no major developments in European citizenship over the past few years? The answer is clearly negative. Via a comparison of the White Paper on European Governance (2001) and the draft Constitution (2004), this article documents a certain tension in the institutional discourse about European citizenship. It proposes a new theoretical model to grasp this tension and to understand European citizenship as it is conceived nowadays. This analytic prism is based on the distinction between “government citizenship” and “governance citizenship.”

Politics And Religion

The legacy from Christianity unquestionably lies at the root of Europe, even if not exclusively. It has taken many aspects from the Middle Ages to modern times. If the Christian heritage is diversely understood and accepted within the European Union, the reason is essentially due to its political and religious significance. However, its impact in politics and religion has often been far from negative, if we will consider what secular societies have derived from Christianity: human rights, for example, and a religious affiliation which has been part and parcel of national identity. The Christian legacy has to be acknowledged through a critical analysis which does not deny the truth of the past but should support a European project built around common values.

European Union Law uses a distinctive three-part structure to examine the constitutional foundations, legal powers, and substantive law of the European Union. This third edition includes an updated dedicated chapter on the past, present, and future of Brexit. Part I looks at the constitutional foundations including a constitutional history and an examination of the governmental structure of the European Union. Part II looks at governmental powers. It covers legislative, external, executive, judicial, and limiting powers. The final part considers substantive law. It starts off by examining the free movement of goods, services, and persons. It then turns to competition law and finally ends with an analysis of internal and external policies.

Over the past decade, the European Union has lost the trust of many citizens. This article investigates whether and how media information, in particular visibility and tonality, impact trust in the European Union among citizens. Combining content analysis and Eurobarometer survey data from 10 countries between 2004 and 2015, we study both direct and moderating media effects. Media tone and visibility have limited direct effects on trust in the European Union, but they moderate the relation between trust in national institutions and trust in the European Union. This relation is amplified when the European Union is more visible in the media and when media tone is more positive towards the European Union, whereas it is dampened when media tone is more negative. The findings highlight the role of news media in the crisis of trust in the European Union.

Further Development

In 2010 Serbia faced with many social, economical and political issues such as the economic crisis, unemployment, uncertain candidate for membership in the European Union, cooperation with the International War Crimes Tribunal in The Hague and others. Recurrences of the past are still being felt in the political than some of the European Union with Serbia. Serbia has a long way toward permanent membership, and to intensify regional cooperation in Southeast Europe (SEE) through active membership in regional organizations and initiatives. Although this region for many years been burdened with the past and lack of understanding among nations, the steppes of integration is still achieved and is still stricken by stereotyped comparisons with a barrel keg, and so damn yard. The aim of this paper is to point out some directions for further development of the region and review of the circumstances that have contributed to this state, to show the events of the past who may be a message for the future. .
