Getting out of debt: Garnishment of wage in whose interest?

Garnishment of wage as a way for creditors to enforce payment by unwilling or insolvent debtors, while very common in Germany and Switzerland, is not very successful.

Taxation in an economy with private provision

This paper analyses the effects of taxation and subsidies in an economy with private provision of a public good.

We then consider...

La France et l'intégration européenne. Une évaluation du paradigme "identitariste"

Cet article critique un paradigme "identitariste" qui est souvent trop ontologique. Il y a certes parfois des contradictions entre "identité française" et intégration européenne. Mais il faut éviter de réifier cette notion d'"identité française"."

Security Dimension in the EU Enlargement

The chapter attempts to present the case for EU enlargement for reasons of security, using an adapted use of the Karl Deutsch concept of "community of security", as well as a dose of realism. The author also argues that EU enlargement has something to do with the perception of a Russian threat as well as to balancing a possible German hegemony.
