ROBERT SCHUMAN CENTRE FOR ADVANCED STUDIES 2013‒2014

INTRODUCTION

The European University Institute was founded in 1972 by the original Member States of the European Community, now the European Union, in order to provide advanced academic training for Ph.D. students and to promote research at the highest level. The Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies (RSCAS) was created in 1992 to develop inter-disciplinary and comparative research and to promote work on the major issues facing the process of integration and European society. From September 2013 the RSCAS is directed by Brigid Laffan. The academic community of the Centre includes joint chair holders who are also professors in the teaching departments of the Institute (Law, Economics, History and Civilization, and Political and Social Sciences); programme directors, who are responsible for large-scale programmes; part-time professors; and research fellows and academic assistants working on the projects and programmes of the Centre. In addition to its own faculty, the Centre hosts a large post-doctoral fellowship programme including Jean Monnet and Marie Curie fellows as well as other publicly and privately funded fellows, and academic and non-academic visiting fellows. The Centre has a core administrative staff and is funded from a variety of sources, including various EU programmes, national agencies, private foundations and the business community.

Our main objectives are to produce high quality research; to collaborate with other centres of research excellence; to provide opportunities for young scholars working in our core research areas; to provide high-level training in our core research areas; and to promote dialogue with the world of practice. To this end, the Centre hosts research programmes and projects, and a range of working groups and ad hoc initiatives. The research agenda is organised around a set of core themes and is continuously evolving, reflecting the changing agenda of European integration and the expanding membership of the European Union. Currently, the core themes are: • European Institutions, Governance and Democracy • Migration • Economic and Monetary Policy • Competition Policy and Market Regulation • Energy Policy and Climate Policy • Global Governance • International and Transnational Relations of the EU A brief overview of the Centre’ s research agenda is given in the following pages, while the most up-to-date information can be found on our web site at www.eui.eu/RSCAS.

ROBERT SCHUMAN CENTRE FOR ADVANCED STUDIES

EUROPEAN INSTITUTIONS, GOVERNANCE AND DEMOCRACY

Research on the political and legal design and the policy performance of European institutions has long been at the core of the Centre’ s agenda. Past and present studies have dealt with issues relevant to the debate on EU institutional and constitutional reform; evolution, reform and experimentation in European governance; and issues of democracy and citizens’ participation in EU institutions. Our research has continually adjusted and responded to recent developments in the reform process. On-going studies deal with alternative institutional designs, as well as with substantive policy reforms. The Centre has also investigated ‘interstitial’ institutional changes happening between the formal Treaty reforms. Many studies and research projects at the RSCAS have focused on the challenges and opportunities for democracy in Europe, both at the national and regional levels. With the creation of the European Union Democracy Observatory (EUDO), coordinated by Alexander H. Trechsel, the RSCAS consolidates scientific knowledge and policy relevant knowhow on EU democracy. Furthermore, EUDO actively engages in research, experimentation, and dissemination activities on issues relating to EU democracy.

EUROPEAN UNION DEMOCRACY OBSERVATORY

EUDO consists of four Observatories responsible for data and documentation gathering, directed by EUI professors in conjunction with external experts. The Observatory on Public Opinion, Political Elites and the Media focuses on the attitudes and preferences of electorates, the media and political classes, measuring the way in which these converge or diverge. The Observatory on Political Parties and Representation is devoted to the study of European parties as representative channels, agenda setters and gatekeepers on the uncertain road towards a fullyfledged and effective Euro-party system. The Observatory on Institutional Change and Reforms is devoted to reforms and adaptations in the current institutional EU set-up, particularly those reforms and adaptations that are most likely to foster popular acceptance and legitimacy for the Union. The Observatory on Citizenship, finally, is devoted to the study and to the development of citizenship in the European Union and its member states and also to the impact of citizenship on democratic inclusion and participation. The EUDO Observatories have been involved in a series of projects to provide applied research reports for European and national institutions.

research. EUDO is rapidly, in fact, becoming one of the leading sources that academics, policymakers and ordinary citizens turn to, when they look for information and research on democracy in the EU. In order to achieve this, the interand multi-disciplinary character of EUDO will continue to be fostered to create ever more synergies and to conduct common research projects and studies as well as commonfunding applications. Linked to these internal efforts will be external activities, such as invitations to external scholars and research centres, politicians and policymakers as well as civil-society representatives to join the EUDO network and to cooperate with other leading actors in the field. EUDO Dissemination Conference, November 2012

In addition to the four Observatories, the EUDO platform has three further components: the EUDO Communication and Dissemination Strategy, the EUDO Training and Debate and the EUDO Publication and Data Centre. The EUDO Communication and Dissemination Strategy was developed to assure that the work produced within EUDO is disseminated to relevant stakeholders. This strategy consists of a website; a newsletter; an annual dissemination conference; an annual report; and a Facebook and Twitter account. The EUDO Training and Debate Forum allows EUDO to interact with students and the wider public; it consists of a range of workshops and seminars on specific issues related to EU democracy and an online web café where internal and external experts contribute to a lively debate on a range of EUDO issues: http://debate.eudo.eu The EUDO Publication and Data Centre groups together the hard data on European Democracy produced by EUDO. It includes the EUDO Data Centre; the EUDO Working Paper Series; a EUDO Report Series; and the EUDO eBooks series. It also draws attention to the individual publications of EUDO researchers, making their findings accessible to the wider community.

MEDIA PROFILER

The EUDO Observatory on public opinion, within the CMPF project, developed a clear theoretical framework of the Media Profiler. This will serve as the basis for the creation of a web-based platform on which citizens can freely profile themselves within the European media landscape. The novelty of the project lies in that it seeks to measure media pluralism not only from the supply – but also from the demand-side. As a result of digital technologies that have created an environment of communicative abundance and afford the citizens the opportunity to actively participate in public discourse, it is not enough to determine the levels of ownership and content diversity. Exposure diversity, that is, the media content and sources to which citizens are exposed and engage with, becomes extremely relevant for measuring media pluralism. This being the starting point of the study, the analysis goes on to identify the dimensions of pluralism on the basis of which both offer and consumption will be measured. Subsequently, the report explores how to operationalize the project. Following innovative approaches to data gathering, the team defined methods that it considers as most appropriate to achieve the project’ s objective, that is, to create a methodologically rigorous and attractive instrument to measure media pluralism in Europe. Finally, the report proposes a layout for the Media Profiler. www.eui.eu/Projects/EUDO

Apart from the activities mentioned above, much time is also devoted to streamlining EUDO’ s efforts in gaining a reputation as a leading and well-known hub in EU democracy

FRACIT: ACCESS TO ELECTORAL RIGHTS IN THE EU

In 2012, EUDO CITIZENSHIP was commissioned by the European Parliament’ s Committee on Constitutional Affairs to conduct research and write a study on “Electoral rights and Participation of Third Country Citizens residing in the EU and of EU Citizens in Third Countries.” During the next academic year, EUDO-CITIZENSHIP will keep enriching its website with new databases and indicators on the electoral franchise of non-citizens and of non-residents at local, regional, national and EU levels. In addition, existing country reports on Citizenship Laws and Naturalisation Procedures will be complemented by a new series on Access to Electoral Rights, covering all EU Member States. The research outputs of the ACIT project on Access to Citizenship and its impact on Immigrant Integration, including comparative reports, indicators and interactive charts on Citizenship Acquisition, Integration and Implementation are already available on our website at www.eudo-citizenship.eu

SMALLER STATES IN EU DECISION-MAKING: PORTUGAL IN COMPARATIVE PERSPECTIVE

Funded by the Fundaçao Francisco Manuel dos Santos (Lisbon), the project systematically examines the role of representatives of small countries in EU policy-making process, with a special focus on Portugal. This project is led by Richard Rose and Alexander H. Trechsel. The EUI team has already produced the first three reports: these reports look, respectively, at how much difference a country’ s size makes, at how Portugal’ s 22 MEPs can influence policy-making in the European Parliament, and at how Portugal can assure that its priorities are covered in the legislative negotiations within the Council. The fourth report will look at the role of the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions and, more generally, at how interest representatives are capable of influencing Brussels decision-making. www.eui.eu/Projects/EUDO/Research/PortugalProject

ILEC: INVOLUNTARY LOSS OF EUROPEAN CITIZENSHIP

European citizenship is the fundamental status for EU Member State nationals. What, then, are the implications when a state deprives a European citizen of his or her nationality? A new project funded by the European Commission’ s DG Justice and coordinated by the Centre for European Policy Studies (CEPS) in collaboration with the EUDO CITIZENSHIP Observatory and other university partners, aims to investigate this underresearched question. The ILEC project (Involuntary Loss of European Citizenship: Exchanging Knowledge and Identifying Guidelines for Europe) will carry out a comparative study of the law and practices governing loss of nationality across the 27 member states plus Croatia. A key question it seeks to answer is what impact the development of European citizenship is having on national competences covering the acquisition and loss of nationality in light of a growing volume of jurisprudence from the Court of Justice and European Court of Human Rights. The project held its kick-off meeting in March 2013 at CEPS, bringing together the ILEC project partners, including in addition to CEPS and the European University Institute, Maastricht University, the University of Liege, the Danish Institute of Human Rights, the University of Leon and the Interdisciplinary Centre for Comparative Research in the Social Sciences (Budapest).

SPOTLIGHT

INTERSTITIAL INSTITUTIONAL CHANGE

POLITICAL PARTIES AND REPRESENTATION

www.eui.eu/InterstitialChange

Spotlight is a project carried out by the EUDO Observatory on Public Opinion, Political Elites, and the Media. It focuses on public attitudes towards recent European political issues, showing how they affect European democracy. The economic crisis, immigration, or climate change, just to quote some well-known and current issues, represent new challenges for European institutions both in terms of policy-making and in terms of public opinion. How are these issues perceived by European citizens? To what extent do they influence their attitudes towards the European Union, its decision-making capacity and its legitimacy? These questions are at the core of the Spotlight publications. The collaboration with TNS Public Opinion has been crucial in providing reports on the most upto-date Eurobarometer survey. Spotlight reports are available at www.eui.eu/EUDOSpotlight/

The Observatory on Political Parties and Representation (OPPR) is finalising the data gathering phase of the “Electoral Systems and Party Personnel: The Consequences of Reform and Non-reform” project, directed by Ellis Krauss, Robert Pekkanen, and Matthew Shugart. OPPR researchers, in collaboration with researchers from the University of Pisa, Rome and Bologna are responsible for collecting Italian data.

This project, funded by the Swedish Institute for European Policy Studies investigates institutional change in the European Union which takes place between the highly salient formal treaty revisions. More specifically, research at the Centre explores whether, why, how and with what consequences EU legislation is increasingly ‘fast-tracked’ under the codecision procedure and passed as ‘early agreements’. Another topic of continuous interstitial change relates to the rules governing comitology, i.e. the implementing of the powers of the Commission. The results of this research were published in a 2013 monograph by Oxford University Press and an additional volume forthcoming with OUP in 2014. Processes of interstitial institutional change more recently have also been analysed in the context of the new economic governance measures of the European Union.

MIGRATION

Migration represents both an opportunity and a challenge. While well-managed migration may foster progress and welfare in both source and host countries, its mismanagement may put social cohesion, security and sovereignty at risk. Migration is evolving rapidly, and as a result knowledge needs to be constantly updated and shared with policymakers. Due to it being a global phenomenon, its study requires innovative cooperation between scholars around the world.

RETURN MIGRATION AND DEVELOPMENT PLATFORM

Since its inception, the Return migration and Development Platform (RDP) has promoted comparative research projects including the MIREM and CRIS projects. They address return migrantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; realities, in their broadest sense, and across various disciplines. The rationale for RDP lies in combining a top-down with a bottom-up approach to return migration and reintegration. The platform hosts unique datasets based on field surveys and direct interviews with return migrants to Algeria, Armenia, Mali, Morocco and Tunisia. RDP is directed by Jean-Pierre Cassarino.

MIGRATION POLICY CENTRE

The Migration Policy Centre (MPC) conducts advanced research on global migration to serve migration governance needs at European level, from developing, implementing and monitoring migration-related policies to assessing their impact on the wider economy and society. The MPC conducts field as well as archival research, both of which are scientifically robust and policy-relevant at European level and also globally, targeting policymakers as well as politicians. This research provides tools for addressing migration challenges, by (1) producing policyoriented research on aspects of migration, asylum and mobility in Europe and in countries located along migration routes to Europe, that are regarded as priorities; (2) bridging research with action by providing policymakers and other stakeholders with results required by evidence-based policy-making, as well as necessary methodologies that address migration governance needs; and (3) pooling scholars, experts, policymakers, and influential thinkers to identify problems, research their causes and consequences, and devise policy solutions. Further information on the MPC and its projects below: www.migrationpolicycentre.eu/

CARIM

CARIM was created at the EUI in 2004 and co-financed by the EU. It aims to observe, analyse, and forecast migration in 17 countries of the Southern & Eastern Mediterranean (SEM) and Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). All are studied as origin, transit and destination countries. Its team is composed of a coordinating unit established at the EUI, and a network of more than 90 scientific correspondents based in the countries

under observation. The project’s database covers three major dimensions of migration: the demographic and economic module, the legal module and the socio-political module. CARIM has published around 300 studies and reports that together form a unique source of knowledge on migration south of the Mediterranean.

CREATING AN OBSERVATORY OF MIGRATION EAST OF EUROPE (CARIM EAST)

GULF LABOUR MOBILITY AND MIGRATION (GLMM)

The project, co-financed by the EU, is carried out by the EUI in partnership with the University of Warsaw (CMR), jointly with a network of correspondents in the target countries: Belarus, Republic of Moldova, Ukraine, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Russian Federation, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan. Its database is structured into three modules, similar to those of the CARIM South project. The research activities are conducted on two levels: national and regional.

Started in 2005 as joint initiative with the University of Florence, now the Summer School is entirely run by the EUI. It offers advanced training in migration studies to professionals, administrators and researchers working in the field, focusing on the EU and its neighbourhood.

In cooperation with the Gulf Research Centre (Dubai and Geneva), the Migration Policy Centre seeks to expand the CARIM system of observatory into the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council, which together with the North America and the EU are the world’ s largest areas of immigration.

DEVELOPING A KNOWLEDGE BASE FOR POLICY MAKING ON INDIA-EU MIGRATION (CARIM INDIA)

This project, co-financed by the EU, is carried out in partnership with the India Center for Migration, the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore Association, and Maastricht University. The action is aimed at consolidating a constructive dialogue between the EU and India on migration covering all migration-related aspects.

RESEARCHING THIRD COUNTRY NATIONALS’ INTEGRATION AS A THREE-WAY PROCESS (INTERACT)

This project, co-financed by the EU, is carried out by the EUI in partnership with the Migration Policy Institute (Brussels), Université de Liège and Universitat Pompeu Fabra (Barcelona). The project studies third country nationals’ integration as a three-way process: immigrants, countries of emigration and countries of immigration.

THE COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE ECONOMIC ASPECTS OF INTERNATIONAL MIGRATION: EU, MEDITERRANEAN, AND CIS (MIGMEDCIS)

The overall objective of the project is to bring together international and interdisciplinary research teams for the purpose of forming a network for research and transfer of knowledge in the area of international migration. The project is co-financed by the EU.

ECONOMIC AND MONETARY POLICY

The development of the European Union has important implications for the design and outcomes of economic policy. This is the case with the adoption of a single currency and a monetary policy in the Eurozone, and the related required institutional developments, but also with regard to policy issues concerning taxation, regulation, labour markets, the welfare state and the environment, both at the national and European level. Our goal is to study economic policy issues relevant for the global economy, with particular attention to the old and new European economies. The main focus is on monetary and fiscal integration in the European Monetary Union under the auspices of the Pierre Werner Chair Programme on Monetary Union. We are also concerned with issues related to the stability, efficiency and regulation of the financial system. Another main topic of research is economic stabilisation and the design of fiscal and monetary policy. Important questions are the required level of fiscal policy coordination, how to increase the credibility of fiscal policy, how to address the debt problem, to what extent do these issues impact on the conduct of monetary policy, and what are the effects of unconventional monetary policy and of the new financial and macro-prudential set-up in the euro area. Other relevant topics for research include to what extent the European economies share a common business cycle and how they are related to those of the Mediterranean; how the sources and propagation mechanisms have changed over time, and which policies could be undertaken to increase homogeneity in the area. Our ambition is to carry out academic research with policy relevance, promoting interaction among economists, lawyers, political scientists, sociologists and historians.

PIERRE WERNER CHAIR PROGRAMME ON MONETARY UNION

Named in memory of Pierre Werner, one of the architects of economic and monetary union, this programme was established in 2002 with funding generously provided by the Luxembourg Government. Giancarlo Corsetti held the chair from September

2003 to September 2010, Massimiliano Marcellino has held it since September 2011 and Fabio Canova will be the chair holder from September 2013. The principal focus of the programme is on economic policy and the fiscal and monetary aspects of European integration. EUI faculty, post-doctoral fellows and researchers, and a range of external collaborators contribute to the programme’s activities. The Pierre Werner Chair has also promoted two research projects in policy modelling and analysis at the European level, with a network of leading European academic and policy institutions. Collaboration with the European Central Bank and national monetary authorities has been intensified on policy issues raised by global imbalances, especially as regards the design of optimal fiscal and monetary interactions in a global world. In the last two years the Pierre Werner Chair has organised activities aimed at understanding the sources, propagation and consequences of the financial crisis, and the related policy responses. www.eui.eu/Projects/PierreWernerChair

EUROPEAN FORECASTING NETWORK

The European Forecasting Network, ‘A Network of European Research Institutes for Forecasting and Policy Analysis in the Monetary Union’, was created to provide a critical analysis of the current economic situation in the Euro area, short-term forecasts of the main macroeconomic and financial variables, policy advice, and in-depth study of topics of particular relevance for the working of the EMU. The network brings together the expertise of Departments of Economics, the quantitative skills of Departments of Statistics and Econometrics and the practical experience of research centres. Each of them contributes in an original way to the development and release of analyses of the economic situation and outlook for the Euro area, in the form of quarterly reports. The network is coordinated at the RSCAS by Massimiliano Marcellino. www.eui.eu/EFN

COMPETITION POLICY AND MARKET REGULATION

The liberalization of sectors such as energy, telecommunications and transport has resulted in a new set of regulatory practices and institutions being developed to prevent or correct market failures. In the beginning, a naĂŻve trust in the market was prevalent. Today, however, the reality is that there is a need for some regulatory intervention, as well as discussion on best practice for regulating market failures in general or properly for natural monopolies. In these EU network industry liberalized markets, there is a constant need to balance market dynamics and regulatory safeguards. At a national level, regulatory authorities play their role in the creation of a real internal European market. The EU has also added other priorities for completing the internal market as: protecting vulnerable consumers; ensuring security of supply; respecting the environment; preventing climate change and guaranteeing market transparency and integrity. For the past decade, the RSCAS has been at the forefront of research with regard to the development of new markets and their competition policy, and the role of regulation in facilitating or designing market competition.

FLORENCE SCHOOL OF REGULATION

regularly attended by internationally respected academics, industry experts, professionals from regulatory authorities and European civil servants, and we welcome more than 2000 people each year. The Florence School of Regulation provides a relevant and dynamic link between academic knowledge and the world of practice. The FSR also carries out research in the field of regulation, such as the THINK project. Since January 2012, the FSR has published more than 90 pieces of research (peer reviewed journals, research reports, books) while it also continues to publish its own series of Working Papers. The FSR has provided professional training for almost a decade with state-of-the-art training courses that combine residential and e-learning with advanced training tools. Every year, the FSR organises more than 50 days residential training reaching out to hundreds of professionals. With the introduction of FSR online video lectures and webinars in 2012 the FSR has now reached out to more than 10,000 energy professionals. The FSR places a special emphasis on making its research freely accessible in various forms and through open access training tools.

The Florence School of Regulation (FSR) was founded in 2004 as a partnership between the European University Institute and the Council of the European Energy Regulators, and it works closely with the European Commission. The Florence School of Regulation works on the regulation of the energy sector (electricity and gas), the communications and media sector (from 2009) and the transport sector (since 2010). The FSRâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; s objective is to expose the European dimension of these regulatory topics and to contribute to the safeguarding of the common good of Europe by ensuring high-level and independent debate and research on economically and socially sound regulation. The FSR organises policy events and high-level executive seminars, and promotes international networking through knowledge and practice exchange. The FSR events are

CENTRE FOR MEDIA PLURALISM AND MEDIA FREEDOM

Centre for Media Pluralism and Media Freedom

The Centre for Media Pluralism and Media Freedom (CMPF), co-financed by the European Union, is a further step in the EU’ s on-going effort to improve protection of media pluralism and media freedom in Europe and to establish what actions need to be taken at European and/or national levels to foster these objectives. The CMPF, directed by Pier Luigi Parcu, is based on a residential team of researchers and is supported by a group of experts. The activities and the structure of the Centre are characterized by an interdisciplinary approach to media pluralism and freedom with a European perspective.

ENTRANCE is a training project for national judges on European Competition Law, financed by the European Commission. After two completed editions and a third currently on-going, ENTRANCE 2014 will start in January 2014. This project aims at training 54 national judges of all EU Member States on the analysis of the common procedural principles which ensure the right of defence and due process in the enforcement of national competition law. www.eui.eu/Projects/ENTRANCE

Adrienne Héritier, jointly with David Coen, University College London, and Nikoleta Yordanova, University of Mannheim, and Mattia Guidi, Collegio Carlo Alberto, focused on changes in regulatory policies (network utilities) in EU member states with a particular emphasis on the interaction between regulators and regulated firms. A large data set has been compiled and analysed to answer the questions of when firms address which sectoral or cross-sectoral regulators at which level. The study also analyses under which conditions network firms engage in regulatory venue shopping. Moreover, jointly with Barbara Koremenos, Aseem Prakash and Eric Brousseau, research is being conducted on the conditions of the exercise of effective leadership in a multi-level governance context.

ENERGY POLICY AND CLIMATE POLICY

Energy topics and climate change directly affect European citizens and its economy. The way in which we produce and consume energy is a crucial element in fighting climate change. At the RSCAS the Loyola de Palacio Chair, the THINK project and the Climate Policy Research Unit all carry out comparative and interdisciplinary research with a European focus on a European energy policy and climate policy.

LOYOLA DE PALACIO CHAIR ON EU ENERGY POLICY

The Loyola de Palacio Chair is the academic counterpart of the Florence School of Regulation – Energy. Founded in 2008, the Chair honours Loyola de Palacio (1950‒2006), the former Vice-President of the European Commission and Commissioner for Energy and Transport (1999‒2004). The Loyola de Palacio Chair produces in-depth research and publications of the highest quality relating to EU energy and climate governance in the interconnected fields of economics, law, and energy regulation. In 2012 the annual research project focused on Mediterranean Energy Markets and Renewable Sources. Previous projects addressed a ‘European gas and electricity market design’, ‘incentive regulation’, ‘Financing electricity infrastructure, ‘A Smart EU Energy Policy’, ‘The Interrelation between Network Regulation and Climate Policies’, ‘A Schengening of EU Energy Policy’, and ‘A New EU Gas Security of Supply Architecture’. Together with the Florence School of Regulation the Chair has produced several hundred research publications since its foundation. The Chair also publishes two Working Paper series, on energy and climate and a dedicated Loyola de Palacio Chair’ s Book Series. Our researchers edit several international journals and books: Jean-Michel Glachant is Chief Editor of the EEEP – Economics of Energy and Environmental Policy; Denny Ellerman is co-editor of the REEP – Review of Environmental Economics and Policy; Nicole Ahner is Member of the Editorial Board and Jean-

Michel Glachant of the Advisory Board of the EEJ – European Energy Journal. Jean-Michel Glachant has held the Chair since its foundation in 2008. www.Loyola-de-Palacio-Chair.eu

CLIMATE POLICY RESEARCH UNIT

Established in 2010, the Climate Policy Research Unit (CPRU) is a new research area of the Loyola de Palacio Chair. Its activities are integrated with the energy and regulatory policy research work of the Florence School of Regulation and the Global Governance Programme. As of 2012, the CPRU has been funded primarily by the European Commission (DG Climate Action). Its main goal is to provide a reliable source of information, analysis and ex-post evaluation of EU climate policies both for European and non-European policymakers. In particular, the CPRU evaluates climate policies implemented by the European Union and its Member States; provides a forum for discussion of climate policies in Europe involving governments, academia and industry through ad hoc workshops and an annual Climate Policy Conference in Florence; coordinates a network of researchers at EU Member State universities and research centres who are similarly interested in the ex post evaluation of EU climate policies; and maintains an outreach programme consisting of the publication of research papers and a website providing access to the research output of the Climate Policy Research Unit and the associated universitybased Climate Policy Research Network. The distinguishing feature of the CPRU’ s research is its focus on the ex-post evaluation of EU climate policies. Europe has advanced farther than any other country or region in the world in terms of implementing climate policies. These policies have now been in effect long enough for meaningful ex-post evaluations to be conducted. The research is concerned with the implementation of EU climate policies, how they react with one another and with other policy objectives, their effectiveness in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the implications of the

EUI Climate Policy Workshop

multinational implementation of these policies for global climate governance and, not least, the financial implications. The objectives of this research are two-fold. Firstly, within Europe, it aims to provide European policymakers and the policy community in general with solid data, analyses and assessments of existing policies. Secondly, outside of Europe, it aims to inform the understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of European climate policy experiments to avoid leaving the field open to wilful misrepresentation of the European state of affairs by opponents. The CPRU is directed by Denny Ellerman. http://fsr.eui.eu/CPRU/Index.aspx

THINK TANK HOSTING AN INTERDISCIPLINARY NETWORK TO PROVIDE KNOWLEDGE SUPPORT TO EU ENERGY POLICY MAKING – ADVISING THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION ON ENERGY POLICY (THINK)

During the research phase, each of the reports was first discussed in an expert hearing to test the robustness of the preliminary thinking and then subsequently scrutinized by a Scientific Council composed of 23 academic experts. Prior to publication each report was also made available for public consultation. The research team was hosted at the Florence School of Regulation and directed by Jean-Michel Glachant. http://www.eui.eu/Projects/THINK/

GLOBAL GOVERNANCE

THE GLOBAL GOVERNANCE PROGRAMME

Pressing contemporary socio-economic challenges, such as climate change, sustainable development, trade liberalisation, and key political challenges, such as the quest for justice, freedom and equality, require answers at the global level.

developed countries, as well as on the impact of international integration on emerging markets. Bernard Hoekman, former Director of the World Bank International Trade Department, leads the research on global economics, with a focus on multilateral economic cooperation in a multi-polar world and on alternative approaches to reducing the negative spill over effects of national policies.

Through its research, policy and training dimensions, the Global Governance Programme (GGP) aims to respond not only to these challenges, but also to shed light on those that have been overlooked, and set the agenda.

The International Trade Observatory, under the scientific direction of Petros C. Mavroidis, aims to further a better understanding of the dynamics at stake in the field of multilateral and regional trade integration, from a legal perspective and with a special insight into the WTO and the functioning of its judicial bodies.

With its worldwide network of distinguished scholars, researchers and fellows, the GGP stands as a unique and vibrant research community where sharp policy analysis and forward thinking generate innovative solutions to address global issues. The research areas of the GGP are interdisciplinary and cutting-edge, focussing on global economics, development, cultural pluralism, climate governance, international trade and modes of global governance.

Anna Triandafyllidou, Director ad interim of the GGP, leads the cultural pluralism research team, which investigates the sociological and political aspects of religious diversity governance, analyses the economics of cultural diversity – costs of diversity and the economic advantages it can bring – studies the evolution of nationalism theories in light of the societal transformation and social innovation processes triggered by globalisation.

Denny Ellerman, former Director of the MIT Center for Energy and Environmental Policy Research, coordinates the research area on climate governance, which analyses the effectiveness of actions and institutions developed within the EU to address the climate problem, and investigates the interaction of renewable energy and emissions-trading policies, the way firms respond to a carbon price, and the use and pricing of offsets in trading systems.

With the aim of anchoring research on globalisation to empirical grounds, the GGP – with the support of the Fundação Francisco Manuel dos Santos – develops a database that collects and unites most important statistical resources on globalisation, as well as sustainable and human development, The database will provide data for all 193 UN member states, give insight into the multi-dimensional and multi-level changes in core areas most strongly exposed to and impacted on by globalisation, and serve as a statistical backbone for analysis.

Giorgia Giovannetti, lead author of the European Report on Development in 2009 and 2010, heads the development research area, which focuses on three aspects of development policies, namely the governance of official development assistance, social protection, poverty and vulnerability in less

The GGP encourages its research community and worldwide network of leading academics from other internationally recognised institutions to contribute their ideas and perspectives on global governance issues in numerous

Academy of Global Governance Executive Training

research publications, such as the Working Papers published in the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies series. The GGP is research turned into action and aims to offer policy advice and make a major contribution to tackle societal challenges, beyond the European boundaries. The High-Level Policy Seminars (HLPS) represent an exceptional setting for the GGP to promote exchanges and synergies between the worlds of research and policy, discuss guidelines and develop policy proposals in the field of governance. The HLPS offer but one opportunity for the GGP to meld theory and policy advice. The GGP in fact produces Policy Briefs to concisely frame an issue, present policy options and recommendations, and make a call to action for policymakers. The Programme also engages leading academics to write Policy Papers, which provide more extensive background and in-depth analysis on certain policy relevant issue.

The GGP wants to think differently and make a difference. For this reason the Academy of Global Governance (GGA) offers executive training for young diplomats, international organisations and public sector officials, corporate executives, and junior academics, who will be the â&#x20AC;&#x153;leaders of the futureâ&#x20AC;? and will be in a position to pave the way for sound governance policies. The Academy is a unique and interdisciplinary programme that provides trainees with a truly global perspective on current affairs, offering them an exceptional setting to challenge assumptions, get a critical and engaging understanding of topical governance issues, and advance innovative and creative solutions to them. The AGG equips trainees with the skills to pursue and advance a career in EU institutions, national governments, international organisations and business. http://globalgovernanceprogramme.eui.eu/

INTERNATIONAL AND TRANSNATIONAL RELATIONS OF THE EU

The European Union as a political and social community is not an isolated entity but is part of, and interacts with, its larger environment. European states are confronted with internal and external challenges such as increasing religious activism and pressure on the functional and legal borders of the EU. Two research projects funded by the European Research Council under the EU Seventh Framework Programme, Religiowest and Borderlands, study the impact of these challenges. The EU is a significant international actor. The Union’ s external policies, as well as those of its individual member states, exert a major impact on its neighbours and beyond. In recent years, the Centre has focused on the enlargement of the EU, the Mediterranean region, and transatlantic relations. Our current interests further include the rise of European foreign, security, and defence policies; the EU as an international actor and the EU’ s military and civilian missions abroad; and the global trade regime.

RELIGIOWEST

This ERC-funded project, directed by Olivier Roy, has now entered its third year of implementation. It aims at studying how different western states in Europe and North America are redefining their relationship to religions, under the challenge of an increasing religious activism in the public sphere, associated with new religious movements and with Islam. Although each country starts from very different and specific contexts of the relationship between state, religion and public sphere, this move seems to lead to a more uniform perception of what the relationship should be. More importantly, it seems to lead to the use of a common paradigm of what a religion is, with the consequence of pushing religions, through a complex array of

constraints (public order) and incentives (freedom of religion), to format themselves according to this common paradigm. But, due to the de jure or de facto separation of church and state, governments have little leverage on this process. www.eui.eu/Projects/ReligioWest

BORDERLANDS: BOUNDARIES, GOVERNANCE, AND POWER IN THE EUROPEAN UNION’S RELATIONS WITH NORTH AFRICA AND THE MIDDLE EAST

Challenging the notion of Fortress Europe, this ERC-funded project, directed by Raffaella Del Sarto, investigates relations between the EU and its southern periphery, as well as across the latter, through the concept of borderlands. This concept emphasises the disaggregation of the triple function of borders demarcating state territory, authority, and national identity inherent in the Westphalian model of statehood. This process is most visible in Europe, where integration has led to supranational areas of sovereignty, an internal market, a common currency, and a zone of free movement of people, each with a different territorial span. The project explores the complex and differentiated process by which the EU extends its unbundled functional and legal borders and governance patterns to the so-called southern Mediterranean, thereby transforming it into borderlands. It, thus, re-examines the theory and reality of one of the most basic concepts in international relations, namely borders, in the context of the EU’ s relations with North Africa and the Mediterranean Middle East. This five-year project started on 1 October 2011. http://borderlands-project.eu/

EUROPE IN WORLD POLITICS AND EU FOREIGN AND SECURITY AFFAIRS

This research domain explicitly ties the study of Europe’ s international relations, and its role in international and security affairs, to the central changes and challenges in world politics today. We seek to integrate theoretical and conceptual insights from a wide range of perspectives in international relations, the social sciences, and international law, with empirical research and political relevance. The RSCAS addresses some of the main areas pertaining to Europe’ s place and role in the world, such as the rocky and still tenuous consolidation of the EU as a ‘high politics’ actor in global affairs; the (uneven) emergence of pan-European foreign, security, and defence policies; issues of European strategy and purpose; internal and external aspects of European security and defence; as well as the foreign, security, or defence policies of individual European states or groups of states. As one part of this research agenda, Ulrich Krotz investigates the emergence and expansion of EU’ s twenty-eight military and civilian missions abroad. Tentatively titled ‘Divided We Stand’, this book project elucidates central aspects of the EU’ s still developing and seemingly expanding external involvement in international security affairs. In another research project, Krotz scrutinizes the phenomenon and political relevance of ‘special’ interstate relations in international politics.

The Annual Mediterranean Research Meeting, organised by the RSCAS since March 2000, is the main academic venue in Europe for scholars from Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa to discuss original research in the social sciences with focus on Mediterranean issues. The fourteenth session took place at Mersin University, Turkey in March 2013. Due to the unavailability of funding, no meeting will take place in 2014. The Mediterranean Programme is directed by Olivier Roy. www.eui.eu/RSCAS/Research/Mediterranean

THE TRANSATLANTIC PROGRAMME

The Transatlantic Programme fosters the study of the transatlantic relationship, past and present. It conducts basic and policy-oriented research in an interdisciplinary setting, and aims to improve scholarly understanding of the forces that shape this relationship and its role in global processes. Established in 2000, the Programme has been made possible by generous grants, first from British Petroleum and later from the Republic of Ireland. The programme also received support from the US Mission to the European Union to bring American scholars to the Centre. The programme’ s activities include hosting guest speakers, organizing lecture series, workshops and conferences and publishing the results of these activities. www.eui.eu/RSCAS/Research/Transatlantic

THE MEDITERRANEAN PROGRAMME

The Mediterranean Programme was inaugurated in 1999. It is mainly funded by private and public corporations, banks, and public authorities. The Programme focuses on the EuroMediterranean area: Southern Europe; the Middle East and North Africa, including the countries involved in the Barcelona Process; the Arabian Peninsula; Iran; and Iraq. The Mediterranean Programme now concentrates on the study of relations between the EU and Middle Eastern and North African countries. It also continues to enhance the creation of networks between the cultural and research institutes of the countries involved, offering a comfortable environment to establish, or strengthen, informal contacts between policymakers and experts on both sides of the Mediterranean.

PUBLIC DEBATE, POLICY ADVICE AND EXECUTIVE TRAINING

One of the main goals of the Centre is to draw on its basic research for more policy-oriented activities. Many RSCAS projects and programmes have the explicit aim of contributing to public debate and policy advice. For example, EUDO conducted several strongly policy-oriented projects and presented some of its activities to the European Parliament. Likewise, the Migration Policy Centre, the Centre for Media Pluralism and Media Freedom, the Climate Policy Research Unit, the Florence School of Regulation, and the Loyola de Palacio Chair in EU Energy and many of our smaller research projects are oriented towards policy-relevant research. Faculty of the Centre are regularly engaged with the work of European, international and national institutions, acting as consultants and/or producing reports, studies, policy briefs and the like, and take part in the public debate in the media.

CONFERENCES

The Centre organizes and hosts yearly more than 80 conferences and workshops, many of which in collaboration with public or private, international, European or national institutions. It also provides a venue for groups wishing to discuss topics related to their professional activities while benefiting from academic support and a ‘neutral’ environment. The Centre also invites distinguished personalities to deliver keynote speeches or to participate in conferences and debate with the EUI community.

POLICY PAPERS AND POLICY REPORTS

Most of the Centre’ s programmes and projects produce reports and working papers on scholarly and policy issues. These include Working Papers, Research Reports, Policy Papers and Policy Briefs. All papers and reports are freely accessible through our web pages.

IX Migration Summer School

TRAINING COURSES AND SUMMER SCHOOLS

In addition to conferences and workshops, the Centre organizes high-level training courses and summer schools. During the academic year 2012/13, courses were offered on a broad variety of topics, such as EU Foreign Policy, Development Finance and the Governance of Aid, the Governance of the Information Society and the Regulation of the Internet, Climate Governance, Communications and Media Regulation, and International Migration. Participants in our training courses come from a variety of backgrounds and include academics, policymakers, diplomats, international organizations and public sector officials, executives, and staff of regulatory authorities and market operators.
