Rechtsstaatlichkeit, Grundrechte und

Solidarität in Österreich und in Europa

 

Festgabe zum 85. Geburtstag von Professor Heinrich Neisser, einem europäischen Humanisten

 

Über ein halbes Jahrhundert hat Professor Heinrich Neisser auf europäischer und auf nationaler Ebene die Entwicklung der Rechtsstaatlichkeit, des Grundrechtsschutzes und solidarischer Vorkehrungen begleitet und an vorderster Front mitgestaltet: als Wissenschaftler, als Politiker, als Exponent der Zivilgesellschaft.

In the last decades the promotion of democracy and governance became a major component of western governments’ and multilateral organisations‘ foreign policies. Gradually external democracy promotion became a vast field of research in political science and transformation studies. While much scientific research focuses on instruments and strategies of multilateral donor institutions, such as the World Bank (WB), International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the European Union (EU), the African Development Bank Group (AfDB) is to date subject to few researches. The thesis offers new empirical insights into actors‘ implementation and strategies of development and political aid to Morocco, with a strong focus on the actors‘ orientation, identity and will and contributes to a more systematic research on non-western actors‘ role in external aid. The focus lies on the different conceptualisation and implementation of EU and AfDB democracy and governance assistance regarding the donors‘ operational and strategic orientations. Morocco was chosen as an appropriate country cases study, because the country is the largest recipient of EU bilateral aid within the framework of the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) and the most important regional client of the AfDB. The thesis demonstrates that donors adopt technocratic approaches and understandings of democracy and governance. Consequently, objectives of democracy and governance promotion are conflicting or competing and political aid, including democracy and governance promotion, becomes more technocratic and depoliticised. Thus, the actors‘ orientation and modes of interaction limit the implementation of external political aid to a technical-operational level.

Der Europäische Wirtschafts- und Sozialausschuss (EWSA) vertritt Arbeitnehmer- und Arbeitgeberverbände sowie andere Akteure der organisierten Zivilgesellschaft der EU. Sein Akteurs- und Funktionsprofil im europäischen Mehrebenen- und Akteurssystem wurden bislang nicht untersucht. Die Monografie schließt diese Lücke, indem sie die vertragsrechtliche Einbettung des EWSA seiner effektiven Mitwirkung im EU-Politikzyklus gegenüberstellt. Die Studie analysiert dabei die Interaktion des EWSA mit anderen politischen Akteuren auf verschiedenen Ebenen innerhalb und außerhalb der EU. Der Autor zeigt, dass der EWSA strategische Netzwerke gebildet hat, um als Schnittstelle zwischen Zivilgesellschaft und EU-Organen wahrgenommen und genutzt zu werden.

Governance Study on Mobility and Transport in the EUSALP

by Prof. Dr. Andreas Maurer, Melanie Plangger PhD, Kief Albers, Luca Clavadetscher, Anna Santolin, Philipp Umek

 

The EUSALP Strategy brings together seven countries, of which five are EU Member States (Austria, France, Germany, Italy and Slovenia) and two are EFTA (European Free Trade Association) countries (Liechtenstein and Switzerland). From a subnational perspective, EUSALP is a platform for cooperation for 48 regions. EUSALP is implemented by nine EUSALP Action Groups (AG), which organise their operations thematically along the four key objectives of the macro-regional strategy. The EUSALP Action Plan outlines the four objectives and the nine actions of cooperation.


Within Objective 2 "Mobility and Connectivity" of the EUSALP Action Plan, Action Group 4 is to  promote intermodality and interoperability in passenger and freight transport. Action Group 4 offers a platform to identify, coordinate, orchestrate and potentially harmonise the activities of Alpine regions and countries. The aim is the development of a sustainable transport and mobility system within and across the Alps. AG4’s mission is to build a common understanding of transport policy and mobility, to define common objectives and to launch specific activities and projects. At the same time, AG4’s mandate aims to foster trans-border cooperation and greater
integration between the existing bodies and structures in the field of transport. By enhancing  the collaboration of AG4 with different actors – governments, administrations and agencies at various levels of policy-making and policy implementation – in the area of transport, mobility and sustainable development, EUSALP might improve coordination and consistency between policy initiatives and encourage the alignment of related project funding. Thereby, AG4 can contribute to the fourth objective of the EUSALP Action Plan, which calls for developing a sound governance model for the Alpine region.

New Book: Annegret Eppler, Andreas Maurer (Hrsg.) Europapolitische Koordination in Österreich - Inter- und intrainstitutionelle Regelwerke, Funktionen und Dynamiken, Innsbruck/Baden-Baden, IUP/Nomos 2019

 

European politics has a significant impact on Austrian policy-making. And conversely, Austria's policy is the constitutive element of what is being negotiated and decided "in Brussels". This volume explores the question of how, under what external and internal conditions, Austrian ideas, strategies and interests towards the multilevel system of the European Union are conceived, coordinated and articulated. Which national coordination requirements and strategies generate and impact on Austrian positions? How do feedback mechanisms work to secure democratic and transparent decision-making chains? How do the political system of Austria and the supranational EU system influence each other? For the first time, this volume offers a comprehensive analysis of all actors, institutions and processes involved in the Austrian EU policy-making machinery, as well as the most important policy areas for Austria. The volume is aimed at students, teachers and researchers of the EU integration studies, at employees of the Austrian European policy in parliament, government, administration and interest groups as well as at scholars interested in the comparison of the coordination of European politics.
