Civil protection is one of the areas where the European Union (EU) coordinates the efforts of the Member States to minimize the effects of emergencies and disasters. In line with the subsidiarity principle, EU level civil protection mainly depends on the national capacities of the Member States. Therefore, civil protection is an area where the EU regulations do not have a binding power and the Union is mainly supporting the Member States in their civil protection efforts. The main aim of this study is to understand the prospects of Europeanization in the field of civil protection, where all the Member States have their own unique civil protection systems and the EU level coordination is mainly dependent on the domestic systems and resources. To understand the prospects of Europeanization, the study examines the main aspects of the current civil protection system of the EU and shows to what extent non-binding governance paves the way for Europeanization. For this aim, two Participating States of the Union Civil Protection Mechanism (UCPM), Italy and Croatia, are examined as case studies.

Subject Keywords

THE EUROPEAN NEIGHBOURHOOD POLICY: A CRITICAL ASSESSMENT Kahraman, Sevilay (Ankara Avrupa Calismalari Dergisi, 2006) The European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) which can be viewed as the most significant geopolitical project of the European Union (EU) after 2004 enlargement, also constitutes one of the key issues of the external agenda of the Union. The ENP is a new policy initiated in 2003 and implemented in 2005 and it offers a new partnership between the enlarged EU and wider Europe, the latter including both the EU's old Southern neighbours and the new Eastern ones as well as the Southern Caucasus countries. Central to t...
The European Union environmental policy and integrated coastal zone management Bahadır, Tuğçe; Güneş, Şule; Department of European Studies (2007) In this thesis, it has been aimed to analyse the efforts undertaken by the European Union (EU) to stimulate and enhance Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) in the European coastal zone, within the context of the EU Environmental Policy. ICZM was formally accepted in the international community during the 1990s as an alternative to traditional sectoral coastal zone management approaches. It aims to establish an integrated management mechanism among different sectors to minimise resource use conflicts i...
The Impact of the European Union membership on central and Eastern European Countries: human rights in Poland Ertek, Müşerref Tuğçe; Kuşçu Bonnenfant, Işık; Department of European Studies (2019) Within the enlargement of 2004, the number of member states increased from 15 to 25 in the European Union. Unlike the previous enlargements of the EU, the fifth enlargement is different in terms of the widening borders of the European Union and the changing social, cultural and economic structures of the new member states as they formerly had been communist regimes and were going through a transition period parallel through their accession process to the EU. In this process, the importance of democracy and ...
The impact of Europeanization on domestic policy structures :asylum and refugee policies in Turkey's accession process to the European Union Kale, Başak; Eralp, Yakup Atila; Department of International Relations (2005) This thesis analyzes the impact of Europeanization on domestic policy structures in states which are not European Union (EU) members within the framework of asylum and refugee policies. It focuses on the influence of Europeanization during Turkey̕s pre-accession process to the EU after 1999. This thesis has three main goals. The first one is to provide a comprehensive analysis of the dynamics behind Europeanization of asylum and refugee policies. The second goal is to highlight the institutional, administra...
Stabilization of expansive soils using waste marble dust Başer, Onur; Çokça, Erdal; Department of Civil Engineering (2009) Expansive soils occurring in arid and semi-arid climate regions of the world cause serious problems on civil engineering structures. Such soils swell when given an access to water and shrink when they dry out. Several attempts are being made to control the swell-shrink behavior of these soils. Soil stabilization using chemical admixtures is the oldest and most widespread method of ground improvement. In this study, waste limestone dust and waste dolomitic marble dust, by-products of marble industry, were us...
