global governance for sustainable energy the contribution of a global public goods approach
Ecological Economics, 2012Co-Authors: Sylvia I Karlssonvinkhuyzen, N Jollands, Lawrence StaudtAbstract:Achieving a sustainable energy future requires a revolution in the energy system. At the heart of such a transformation lies strong and coherent governance at all political levels, including the global level. While the need for global governance is taken for granted in a number of issue areas such as health, peacekeeping and environment, pursuit of global energy governance has been almost a taboo in political and foreign policy circles and has also had limited attention in the literature. In this paper, we explore how the viewing of a sustainable energy system as a global public good could serve as one approach to reducing the sensitivity towards global energy governance. The global public good concept together with the Principle of Subsidiarity is applied as a framework for understanding the role that the international community could play in, and the key ingredients for, global energy governance. Using two examples of international energy efficiency and renewable energy policy, we identify some types of international collaboration measures that would be both efficient and necessary to support a sustainable energy system.

bilateralism versus multilateralism in international economic law applying the Principle of Subsidiarity
University of Toronto Law Journal, 2010Co-Authors: Arie ReichAbstract:This article proposes a different perspective on the problem of bilateralism versus multilateralism than has been offered in the literature to date. The author proposes to look at the problem through the prism of the Subsidiarity Principle. While this Principle has mainly been used in the context of allocation of authority between various levels of government in federal or quasi-federal systems of government, it is here proposed to use it in the analysis of the various layers of international economic law and in relation to the choice of bilateral, regional, or plurilateral regimes over multilateral ones. Such an analysis can provide both a normative criterion and an explanatory tool in relation to the reality of booming bilateralism. The objective of the article is to develop parameters analogous to those used in the federalist discourse but adapted to the subject matter of international economic law. These parameters incorporate both the efficiency and the political/ethical rationales of the subsidiarit...

bilateralism versus multilateralism in international economic law applying the Principle of Subsidiarity
Social Science Research Network, 2009Co-Authors: Arie ReichAbstract:This paper proposes a different perspective on the problem of bilateralism versus multilateralism than what has been offered in the literature to date. It proposes to look at the problem through the prism of the Subsidiarity Principle. While this Principle has mainly been used in the context of allocation of authority between various levels of government in federal or quasi-federal systems of government, I propose to use it in the analysis of the various layers of international economic law and in relation to the choice of bilateral, regional or plurilateral regimes over multilateral ones. Such an analysis can provide both a normative criterion as well as an explanatory tool in relation to the reality of booming bilateralism. The objective of the paper is to develop parameters analogous to those used in the federalist discourse but adapted to the subject matter of international economic law. These parameters incorporate both the efficiency and the political/ethical rationales of the Subsidiarity Principle. In particular, it dictates that actions should be taken on less centralistic levels, closer to the point of action, where measures more precisely targeted and more closely attuned to the needs of the parties involved may be taken. Through this perspective, just as well-functioning provincial and local governments may serve as building blocks for a leaner, better functioning and more democratic central government, bilateral and regional regimes may serve as important building blocks for a leaner, better functioning and more democratic multilateral organization.

the conduct of Subsidiarity checks of eu legislative proposals by national parliaments analysis observations and practical recommendations
ERA Forum, 2012Co-Authors: Philipp KiiverAbstract:This paper provides a legal and empirical analysis of certain aspects of the European Union’s early warning system for the Principle of Subsidiarity. It discusses the admissibility criteria for opinions from national parliaments against EU legislative proposals; it considers which Principles national parliaments actually apply in these opinions in practice; and it develops practical legal techniques on how to incorporate Principles other than Subsidiarity in such opinions.

the treaty of lisbon the national parliaments and the Principle of Subsidiarity
The Maastricht Journal of European and Comparative Law, 2007Co-Authors: Philipp KiiverAbstract:This article critically analyses the provisions of the Treaty of Lisbon that are designed to enhance the involvement of national parliaments in the European Union. It compares the rights offered to national parliaments with what the parliaments already enjoy by virtue of existing treaty law and of domestic constitutional law. In that light, most of the Lisbon provisions are purely symbolic. However, the article also offers a more positive perspective. Instead of focusing on the rights that the treaty provisions actually confer upon national parliaments (constitutive value), it is suggested to consider their capacity to raise European awareness among national parliamentarians and to prompt them to make use of the powers they already have (catalyst value). In that perspective, the Treaty of Lisbon has had a remarkable effect already, even before having entered into force.
