While the so-called “end of public space” literature, focusing on encroachment of private interests and state surveillance, has contributed to critical thinking of access (or the lack thereof) to public space, and the loss of publicity of public space, the conceptual tools such literature offers to understand contestations in and over public space have remained underdeveloped or, at best, underexp

"This study investigates shopping activities on local high streets. It examines also shopping’s role in shaping these streets into places of meaningful shopping, and important parts of urban landscapes, in the context of global retail restructuring.

The Court of Justice’s role in controlling the exercise of Union legislative powers is a longstanding topic in EU legal scholarship. Observers have criticised the Court’s accommodating approach to the EU legislator’s broad interpretation of its powers and contended that the Court cannot be trusted to enforce the distribution of competences between the Union and the Member States (the ‘federal dime

Adult Education and the Formation of Citizens turns attention towards normative claims about who adults should become through education, and what capacities and skills adults need to develop to become included in society as ‘full’ citizens. Through these debates, adults are construed as not yet citizens, despite already being citizens in a formal sense; this book problematises such regimes of trut

Antologin innehåller uppsatser som grundas på föredrag som hölls vid Historiska institutionen under Lunds universitets 350-årsjubileum. Uppsatserna handlar dels om universitetets tidiga historia, dels om framträdande historiker genom tiderna.

Science has become a central political concern with massive increases in public investments and expectations, but resources are embedded in a complex web of societal expectations, which vary between countries and regions. This book outlines an insightful understanding of science policy as both concerning the governance of science itself (priority-setting, funding, organization and articulation wit

This article examines how subsidiarity can limit the exercise of EU competence. It suggests that the problems of reconstructing subsidiarity cannot be seen in isolation from the issue of judicial review. In a substantive sense it contends that subsidiarity can be reconceptualised as a principle that challenges the internal market justification for exercise of Union competences. It argues for a nar

Pursuant to the precepts of EU law, EU policy-makers are bound to ensure that any EU legislation must fall within the remit of the EU's competences. This monograph looks at this highly contested issue, with particular reference to European Union criminal law. It looks at the powers enjoyed by the EU to impose criminal sanctions to suggest mechanisms by which legislative powers could be kept in che
