The policy area of freedom, security and justice represents one in which the European member states have been keen on remaining sovereign. In dealing with large inflows of asylum seekers, EASO was set up as an agency. The aim of this study was to assess what this new agency was an expression of, in terms of its role in relation to the member states. By applying the theory liberal intergovernmentalism, this created a useful tool for a comprehensive understanding of why states choose to cooperate within a more institutionalized form.       Methodologically, this study has looked closer at the founding documents of EASO, TFEU, the Lisbon treaty as well as literature on the theoretical framework. This paper has a descriptive ambition, in its aim to explain member states’ behaviour using an established theory.          This paper concludes that the theory contributes to an understanding of why EASO was created, having looked at national preferences, interstate bargaining and institutional choice. It is process in which national preferences are formulated, leading to relative bargaining positions and finally results in an institutional form that takes into account the self-rule of member states, while at the same time comprises a necessary operational mandate for EASO.

However, in 1955 the Highway Department published a comprehensive freeway plan that anticipated new federal funding and initiated an era of unprecedented road construction in the growing city. In the early 1960s, localized opposition to the city's Interstate system failed to halt the completion of three major routes. Yet, politically savvy grassroots activists and a new generation of local leaders used the provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act and the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1973 to successfully stop the construction of two freeways in the mid 1970s. Though favorable legislation and the efforts of local politicians were instrumental in thwarting the Highway Department's plans, this study will focus on the crucial role played by the citizens who waged an ideological battle against recalcitrant highway engineers for Portland's future. / Committee in Charge: Ellen Herman, Chair; Jeffrey Ostler; Matthew Dennis

nÃo hà / O Decreto n 29.560/2008, que regulamentou a Lei n 14.237/2008, teve como objetivo proteger os atacadistas cearenses e estimular o comÃrcio interno atravÃs de uma reduÃÃo de carga tributÃria. Este trabalho se propÃs a verificar se, apÃs a validade do decreto citado, as empresas varejistas deslocaram as suas aquisiÃÃes interestaduais para aquisiÃÃes internas, atingindo a finalidade proposta pela polÃtica pÃblica instituÃda pelos gestores governamentais. Para a obtenÃÃo dos resultados deste questionamento, foram utilizados os modelos de regressÃo Logit e Tobit para estimar um estudo economÃtrico no sentido de observar se houve mudanÃa de comportamento das empresas varejistas em relaÃÃo Ãs suas compras de mercadorias interestaduais. AlÃm disso, foi observado se alguns fatores como tempo de atividade da empresa, localizaÃÃo geogrÃfica fronteiriÃa com outros Estados e oferta local de atacadistas no municÃpio em que o estabelecimento està situado tem influÃncia na decisÃo de adquirir mercadorias no mercado externo. Os resultados demonstraram que a polÃtica pÃblica nÃo teve resultados relevantes para os varejistas de regime de recolhimento Normal, mas foi exitosa em relaÃÃo aos varejistas do simples nacional sinalizando que nÃo se deixou de comprar interestadualmente, mas se passou a comprar mais no mercado interno. TambÃm ficou evidenciado que os fatores citados anteriormente sÃo relevantes na propensÃo das empresas a adquirir mercadorias interestaduais, embora Ãs vezes com efeitos distintos para cada tipo de regime de recolhimento. / The decree 29.560/2008, which regulates Law No. 14.237/2008, aimed to protect the Cearà wholesalers and stimulate domestic trade through a reduction of the tax burden. This study aimed to verify if, after the expiration of the said decree, the retailers have shifted their purchases to domestic interstate acquisitions, reaching the purpose proposed by the public policy established by government managers. To obtain the results of this inquiry, the regression models Logit and Tobit to estimate an econometric study in order to observe whether there was a change in the behavior of retailers in relation to its purchases of interstate goods were used. Moreover, it was observed whether certain factors like uptime of the company, geographic location with other border states and local supply wholesalers in the municipality in which the property is situated has an influence on the decision to purchase goods in foreign markets. The results showed that public policy results are not relevant to retailers regime Normal pickup, but was successful in relation to national retailers simply signaling that is not stopped buying interestadually but happened to buy more domestically. It was also found that the factors cited above are relevant to the propensity of companies to purchase goods interstate, although sometimes with different arrangements for each type of payment purposes.

With the information from the Supply and Uses Tables to Pernambuco was possible to detail by economic activity values of imports and exports interstate, and this step of paramount importance for the completion of the work since it was developed a methodology of calculation using data from the Department of Finance of State of Pernambuco to estimate such values. It also exposed the methodology of calculation of Supply and Uses Tables to Pernambuco used to estimate the values of the components of supply and demand state describing each of its components. Similarly, weights are presented service sectors of agriculture and industry and the role of each in the economy of Pernambuco, both the supply and demand, especially the activity of processing industry and its genres Finishing the job, it was found that the state of Pernambuco imports and exports accounted for much of the demand and supply, especially the latter, since the weight of shopping on offer is greater than the share of sales in demand. / O presente trabalho tem como objetivo principal analisar a contribuição e a devida importância das trocas internas e externas na economia pernambucana, detalhando o papel das importações na oferta e das exportações na demanda, dando ênfase às transações interestaduais. Para atingir o objetivo, foi necessário o emprego de fontes básicas de informações dos Sistemas de Contas Nacionais do Brasil e das Contas Regionais para o ano de 2005 e principalmente das estimativas da Tabela de Recursos e Usos – TRU para Pernambuco. Com as informações da TRU-PE, foi possível detalhar por atividade econômica os valores das importações e exportações interestaduais, sendo essa etapa de suma importância para a realização do trabalho, já que foi elaborada uma metodologia de cálculo através dos dados da Secretaria da Fazenda do Estado de Pernambuco para estimar tais valores. É exposta também a metodologia de cálculo da TRU-PE utilizada para estimar os valores dos componentes da oferta e da demanda estadual descrevendo cada um de seus componentes. Do mesmo modo, são apresentados os pesos setores de serviços da agropecuária e da indústria e o papel de cada um na economia pernambucana, tanto na oferta como na demanda, sobretudo da atividade da indústria de transformação e seus gêneros Finalizando o trabalho, obteve-se que no estado de Pernambuco as importações e as exportações representam grande parte da demanda e da oferta, sobretudo desta última, já que o peso das compras é maior na oferta do que a participação das vendas na demanda.
