Chapter 7 seeks to summarize what we can learn from different case studies concerning member-state responses to EU case law. Compliance with secondary law requires the implementation of specific policies, but case law cannot make comprehensive policy prescriptions. Instead, it normally prohibits certain member-state policies by declaring them to be in conflict with EU law. There can be no expectation for the one-dimensional impact of case law, I argue. Given that the Europeanization effects of case law have hardly been researched, I give an overview of different responses, structured according to executive, legislative, and judiciary reactions, which are considered alongside the responses from societal actors. In particular, the example of EU citizens’ access to tax-financed social benefits shows how difficult it is for national administrations to translate case-law principles into general administrative procedures.

When Sinn Féin and the IRA emerged in Northern Ireland in 1969 they used a combination of revolutionary politics and violence to an effort to overthrow British rule. Today, the IRA is in a state of ‘retirement’, violence is a tactic of the past, and Sinn Féin is a co-ruler of Northern Ireland and an ever growing political player in the Republic of Ireland. This is one of the most startling transformations of a radical violent movement into a peaceful political one in recent times. So what exactly changed within Irish republicanism, what remains the same, and, crucially, what caused these changes? Where existing studies explain the decision to end violence as the product of stalemate or strategic interplay with the British state, this book draws on a wealth of archival material and interviews to argue that moderation was a long-term process of increasing inclusion and contact with political institutions, which gradually extracted moderate concessions from republicanism. Crucially, these concessions did not necessitate republicans forsaking their long-term ethno-national goals. The book also considers the wider implications of Irish republicanism for other cases of separatist conflict, and has significance for the future study of state responses to violent separatism and of comparative peace processes.

The right of EU citizens residing in another Member State, to vote and stand in elections to the European Parliament is a major achievement of the European democracy. In the light of EU citizens’ still insufficient knowledge concerning the opportunities and benefits brought in by this right, it is worth making this institution more familiar to themin a straightforward way, at the same time balancing criticism towards the idea of the EU.
