  • from one Single Market to another European integration australasian ambivalence and construction of the trans tasman Single economic Market
    2015
    Co-Authors: John Leslie, Annmarie Elijah
    Abstract:

    Over 30 years Australian and New Zealand policy makers constructed a Trans-Tasman Single Economic Market that, like the Single European Market, removed administrative barriers to the free movement of goods, services, capital and people. Europeans have taken no notice of this other case of ‘deep’ economic integration. Yet European integration has had both direct and indirect effects on trans-Tasman developments. Australasian policymakers looked to Europe for ‘lessons’, but adapted them to suit local conditions.

  • does n 2 trans tasman economic integration as a comparator for the Single European Market
    Journal of Common Market Studies, 2012
    Co-Authors: John Leslie, Annmarie Elijah
    Abstract:

    An apparent lack of similar cases has shaped how observers compare integration in Europe with other regions. The growing field of comparative regionalism, however, has overlooked three decades of sustained economic integration between Australia and New Zealand. This article introduces trans-Tasman integration as a new empirical case of regional economic integration. It compares ‘trans-Tasman’ integration with European experience with reference to deepening economic integration and supranational institutional arrangements, and explores similarities and differences with other regional arrangements. Adding this second case of ‘deep’ integration to the comparative field enhances the understanding of regional integration in different contexts.

  • the global financial crisis lessons for European integration
    Economic Systems, 2010
    Co-Authors: Marek Dabrowski
    Abstract:

    The EU's limited fiscal capacity has proven to be the most critical constraint in responding to the global financial crisis in a coordinated manner. The EU does not have enough resources to rescue the troubled financial institutions and member states. This leads to a nationalization of rescue operations, which undermines the Single European Market and requires IMF involvement with respect to member states in distress. The EU must also complete the lacking elements of the Single European Market architecture (such as European financial supervision) and help in strengthening global policy and regulatory coordination.

  • the global financial crisis lessons for European integration
    2009
    Co-Authors: Marek Dabrowski
    Abstract:

    The purpose of this paper is to analyze the various challenges facing European integration and the EU institutional architecture as result of the global financial crisis. The European integration process is not yet complete, both in terms of its content and geographical coverage. It can be viewed as a kind of intermediate hybrid between an international organization and a federation, subject to further evolution. This is also true of the Single European Market and the Economic and Monetary Union, which form the core of the EU economic architecture. Certain policy prerogatives (such as external trade, competition, and the Common Agriculture Policy) are delegated to the supranational level while others (such as financial supervision or fiscal policy) remain largely in the hands of national authorities.The EU’s limited fiscal capacity has proven to be the most critical constraint in being able to respond to the crisis in a proper and well coordinated manner at the Union level. The EU budget is limited to 1% of its GDP and finances only specific policies. The EU cannot borrow or provide credit guarantees. There are several obstacles to coordinating national fiscal policies, which are both of an economic and institutional-political character. So the possibility of implementing a joint fiscal intervention, even for such emergency tasks as rescuing the pan-European financial institutions or member countries in distress, is very limited. These limitations have often led to the nationalization of the fiscal response, including offering emergency rescue packages to troubled financial institutions or non-financial corporations which. This, in turn, has often led to 'economic nationalism,' which undermines the basic principles of the Single European Market. The distressed financial Markets also test the macroeconomic coherence of the EU and EMU, placing pressure on those countries which are considered financially fragile or potentially insolvent. They face surging risk premia, capital outflow, depreciating currencies, and sovereign borrowing constraints. Again, the EU does not have enough fiscal resources to provide rescue packages, and an increasing number of member-states must apply for IMF assistance. The best solution would be to increase, at least temporarily, the EU fiscal potential. This would allow providing rescue packages to both troubled financial institutions and member states in a coordinated way. In addition, the EU must act to complete the lacking elements of the Single European Market architecture (such as European financial supervision) and help in strengthening global policy and regulatory coordination.

  • providing cheap land for social housing breaching the state aid regulations of the Single European Market
    Regional Studies, 2013
    Co-Authors: Tuna Tasankok, D A Groetelaers, Marietta Haffner, Harry Van Der Heijden, Willem K. Korthals Altes
    Abstract:

    Tasan-Kok T., Groetelaers D. A., Haffner M. E. A., van der Heijden H. M. H. and Korthals Altes W. K. Providing cheap land for social housing: breaching the state aid regulations of the Single European Market?, Regional Studies. European Union member states are not permitted to provide aid that will distort competition by favouring certain undertakings or the production of certain goods which may then undermine trading in the European Market. This prohibition also affects government authorities that are willing to provide cheap land for social and affordable housing. This paper reviews the ways in which land is provided for social housing in the Netherlands and explores possibilities for reshaping current practices to make them compatible with the regime of the Single European Market.

  • rescaling europe effects of Single European Market regulations on localized networks of governance in land development
    International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, 2012
    Co-Authors: Tuna Tasankok, Willem K. Korthals Altes
    Abstract:

    Rescaling state responsibilities and capacities not only triggers an uneven distributionof regulatory and fiscal powers across scales but also creates complex governancerelationships that result in distortions in local processes of urban development. Withinthis framework, this article analyses how Single European Market regulations affecturban governance capacity through their impact on localized networks of governance.This analysis is based on case studies of public and private cooperation in landdevelopment in the Netherlands. The article focuses on two regulations (state aid andpublic procurement) that are part of European competition policy. It also analyzesthe manner in which these regulations, aimed at creating a Single Market atthe supranational scale, had local consequences. The article concludes that localinteractions are contested and distorted by the interference of the Single EuropeanMarket regulations at the supranational level, which impacts local governance relationsand processes.

  • The Single European Market and Land Development
    Planning Theory & Practice, 2006
    Co-Authors: Willem K. Korthals Altes
    Abstract:

    The Single European Market could conceivably make a deep impact on established practices of land development. Changes to the explicit and implicit rules that have hitherto governed the land Market will re-shape the actions of agencies. Rules on state aid and public procurement are particularly pertinent to land development. European regulations on state aid have ended the system of gap funding for the regeneration of brownfields in the United Kingdom and public procurement rules may put an end to land-development contracts in which owners provide the local government with infrastructure in kind.

  • codetermination and the Market for corporate control in the European community
    Economy and Society, 1993
    Co-Authors: Paul Windolf
    Abstract:

    In the process of European integration the member states have agreed to transfer substantial jurisdiction in the areas of economic and monetary policy to the European Community. In industrial relations, however, they have refused to make similar concessions. Despite its numerous attempts the Commission of the EC has not as yet been able to secure the political consensus necessary for a European model of employees' participation and codetermination. In the context of the Single European Market the national systems of codetermination are destined to play a decreasing role. With the continuing development of the Single Market and its interlocking business structures across national borders, regulations on codetermination that extend only up to such borders and no further can be expected to lose in significane. This paper traces the history of codetermination in the European Community. It also analyses the reasons why the various directives and regulations drafted by the EC Commission since 1967 have been rej...

  • supra national neo liberalism eu regulation of economic Markets
    Social Science Research Network, 2013
    Co-Authors: Mark Thatcher
    Abstract:

    Since the 1980s the EU has developed a dominant set of neo-liberal ideas centred on competition policy to achieve the Single European Market. Although the neo-liberal content of the regulatory model is often taken for granted, it was not legally or institutionally inevitable. This paper argues that the resilience of neo-liberal ideas is best explained in terms of the interests and coalitions of actors. A powerful coalition of the Commission (and units within it), the European Court of Justice (ECJ), national governments and large firms formed to support the EU regulatory model, from which its members draw benefits. Questions to be explained include why this coalition formed and held together, since it is heterogeneous, unstable and sometimes changing, and why these actors embraced or accepted neo-liberal ideas as the means of pursuing their interests rather than alternatives centred on mercantilism, industrial policy and public service. To answer these questions, the paper takes account of the interaction between interests and the key features of neo-liberal ideas in the context of EU governance, including its ambiguity and diversity; its combination of removal of barriers to competition and re-regulation; its apparently politically neutral and technical mode of governance; its combination of a clear and apparently simple objective, competition, with institutional complexity.
