The development of interest representation in Hungary : a case of uneven EuropeanisationCzaga, Peter January 2002 (has links)
The thesis examines the impacts of European integration on interest representation in an EU applicant country, Hungary. The study identifies and explores the mechanisms of Europeanisation and their effects on the organisation and functioning of interest groups and of interest representation structures. The study primarily uses the qualitative method. The empirical part consists of three detailed case studies, covering the pharmaceutical sector, the agricultural sector, and peak employers' associations. The research is largely based on primary data gained from interviews and documents. Each case study explores the inclusion of Hungarian interest groups in the European level of interest representation, their participation in EU-related policy-making, and the European policy impacts on group developments and interest representation structures. The theories of Europeanisation constitute the primary analytical framework for the study. In addition in an attempt of contextualisation, the theories of political and economic transition and consolidation are also examined. The empirical chapters indicate a variation in the forms and degree to which Europeanisation affected interest representation in Hungary. Sectoral, group and interest representation structure characteristics, and the nature of the EU level interest representation are examined as the variables responsible for the differences. The research findings point to the need to distinguish between formal and substantive Europeanisation. It is also argued that Europeanisation is closely intertwined with and embedded in the double process of political and economic transition and consolidation in the Central and Eastern European context

AN EVER CLOSER UNION? IMMIGRATION AND ASYLUM POLICY IN ITALY AND SPAIN: A TALE OF TWO EUROPEANIZATIONSFerguson, Carolyn 24 August 2011 (has links)
The European Union expanded from its first conceptualization as an economic union hedging possible German expansion to encompass policy areas traditionally controlled by the state. One of these areas—immigration and asylum—is closely associated with ideas of state identity and citizenship, and is an area in which states have been unwilling to cede control. Two member states—Italy and Spain—have many similarities, one of which is significant issues in regard to large and undocumented migration but, despite that, took quite different policy directions vis-à-vis the EU’s proposed immigration and asylum norms. This research examines Italy and Spain using Knill and Lehmkuhl’s mechanisms of Europeanization during three policymaking timeframes in order to determine how and why these states have taken divergent paths. This thesis found that different mechanisms were used during different periods and that counterintuitive to expected findings, the weakest mechanism is dominant during the current era.

Social Identity And Constructions Of European Union Among Turkish University YouthCem, Nevra 01 January 2003 (has links) (PDF)
The aim of this study was twofold: to investigate (i) the relationship
between values, social identities, constructions of European Union (EU) and (ii)
reactions to December 12th Copenhagen decision concerning Turkey. In order to
fullfil the aim, two methodologically different analyses were carried out: A
qualitative analysis of newspapers representing different ideologies, and a
quantitative analysis of Turkish university students& / #8217 / responses to questionaries. The
qualitative analysis revealed different constructions of Turkey& / #8217 / s relationship with
EU: Advantages of joining the union in terms of human rights and economic
development were made in the newspapers as well as disadvantages in terms of
emperalism. In additon, historical references to Tanzimat and Islahat decrees were
iii
made. The quantitative analyses performed on university students& / #8217 / responses to
questionnaires revealed three social identities: Nationalist-Islam, Turk, and
European / three different constructions of EU: Europe As Different, Impermeable
Boundaries, and Dissimilar but Advantageous / and two reactions to the decision,
Justification and Attribution of decision to Differences and Conflict, as well as
negative evaluation of decision. Further analyses revealed that values of patriotism,
ethnocentrism, and antisecularism were significant predictors of Nationalist-Islam
social identity. Patriotism was a significant predictor of Turk social identity and
antisecularism was a significant predictor of European social identity. Seeing EU
boundaries as impermeable was related to negative evaluation of the decision and
Europe As Different was a significant predictor seeing the decision as a result of
differences and conflict. Viewing Europe as dissimilar but advantageous was
associated with justifying the decision and ethnocentrism was related to low
justification (rejection) of the decision. European and Turk Identity emerged as a
significant predictor of the construction of EU. Endorsement of European identity
was related negatively to Europe As Different and to seeing EU boundaries as
impermeable. High endorsement of European Identity was also negatively related to
seeing Europe as dissimilar but advantageous.
