Continuities and discontinuities in regional integration and regionalism: domestic and regional actors and institutions
Professor Dra. Janina Onuki1
Professor Ms. Matheus Felipe Silva2
Presentation
This dossier aims to receive unpublished collaborations that deal with the phenomena of regionalism and regional integration on the contemporary times, encompassing different areas of knowledge such as Social Sciences, International Relations and Economics. The different dynamics and different formats of regional integration and regionalism are not limited to specific regions or to consensus on unambiguous structures and formats, allowing the present dossier a broader understanding of different dynamics and analytical possibilities that help to understand these phenomena in contemporary times.
The theme is justified to the extent that regionalism and regional integration have gone through different moments of development as phenomena, and the current context raises debates about fragmentation and weakening of arrangements or the emergence of new formats and / or cycles. For these analyzes, it is necessary to take into account the current institutional engineering configurations and there possible or current mutations, as well as the engagement of relevant domestic and regional actors in these processes.
Deadline: May 16th, 2020 to October 4th, 2020

Abstract:
This book seeks to challenge a conventional wisdom, which argues that the digital era will be a source of diversity on its own because the abundance of cultural content can resolve the asymmetry of cultural flows.

ABSTRACT
The article seeks to explain why the restructuring of the Ukrainian public administration – a key element in democracy promotion – has been patchy, in spite of EU’s substantial investment in the reform process. On the basis of analyzing EU and Ukrainian documents as well as process-tracing and interviews with stakeholders, the paper highlights limitations of explaining the outcome of Ukrainian civil service reform exclusively through functional cooperation, structural factors or civil society mobilization. Drafting and passing new public administration legislation was impossible without civil society mobilization; high-level intergovernmental pressure or functional cooperation would not have been able to achieve this on their own. Subsequent challenges with the implementation process show that the active involvement of civil society does not automatically lead to effective reform. Ultimately, it is the collaboration – often across informal channels – between high-level diplomats and state-representatives, actors involved in functional cooperation and civil society activists that makes reform possible.
KEYWORDS: Eastern partnership, democratisation, public administration reform, functional cooperation, linkages/leverage, Ukraine
