The tension between the aim of creating sustainable multilateral
region-building dynamics and the need to find more differentiated
and flexible forms of cooperation has been ever-present in
Euro-Mediterranean relations. The proliferation of different and
partially overlapping initiatives in recent years - the
Euro-Mediterranean Partnership, the European Neighbourhood Policy
and the Union for the Mediterranean - is a plain expression of this
tension. The 2011 episodes of regime-change in the Arab world have
once again placed the debate about differentiation in EU's
relations with Southern and Eastern Mediterranean Countries at the
top of the Union's foreign policy agenda. This book contributes to
theoretical and practical debates on whether differentiation
processes can aid or hinder policy convergence processes and
region-building efforts more widely. The contributions to this
collection assess the actual significance and consequences of
differentiation in Euro-Mediterranean relations through
sector-specific in-depth analyses, covering issue areas as varied
as environmental policy, migration, foreign and defence policy,
trade, energy, civil protection and democracy promotion. The
particular angle and comprehensive analysis of this book will make
it of great interest for both scholars and policy makers alike in a
moment when Euro-Mediterranean are in need of a thorough rethink.
This book was based on a special issue of Mediterranean Politics.
In the context of multiple crises, EU Energy and Climate policy is
often identi ed as one of the few areas still exhibiting strong
integration dynamics. However, this domain is not exempt from
contestation and re-nationalization pressures. This collection
seeks to understand those contradictory integration and
disintegration tendencies by problematizing the notion of
authority: When, why, and by whom is EU authority in Energy and
Climate policy conferred and contested? What strategies are used to
manage authority con flicts and to what e ffect? These questions
are examined in some of the knottiest aspects of EU energy and
climate policy, for example, the adoption of the landmark
Governance of the Energy Union Regulation, the long-drawn-out
attempts to complete the EU's internal energy market, the struggle
to achieve ambitious EU targets in renewable energy and energy
efficiency beyond 2020, the blurring of economic and security
instruments in external energy policy, or the heated discussions
over the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline. The chapters in this book were
originally published as a special issue of the Journal of European
Integration.

Ten years after the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty, has
executive predominance in EU-related matters disappeared? How have
executive-legislative relations in the EU evolved over a
crisis-ridden decade, from the financial and migration crises, to
Brexit and the COVID-19 pandemic? The Lisbon Treaty could be
expected to lead to the re-balancing of powers in favour of
parliaments, for it significantly enhanced the roles of both the
European Parliament and national parliaments. A decade later the
contributions to this edited volume examine - for the first time in
such an extensive breadth and from a multi-level and cross-policy
perspective - whether this has actually materialised. They
highlight that diverging tendencies may be observed, and that
important variations over time have occurred, depending
particularly on the occurrence of crises. As stated in the
fascinating epilogue by Peter Lindseth (University of Connecticut
School of Law), this is an 'admirably coherent collective volume,
whose contributions provide an excellent overview of key aspects of
executive-legislative relations in the European system since the
Treaty of Lisbon'. This edited volume will hence be of interest to
both academics and practitioners interested in future reforms
designed at the European and national levels to improve the EU's
democratic quality.
