(2) alyazahra1 https://padlet.com/alyazahra1/t2u0guhz6xxke5m4/wish/2423623245 The EU used the system of Multi-Level Governance for the main reason of the effective and appropriate distribution of responsibilities towards the EU and its member states.
The distribution of responsibilities could be dissected by focusing on the EU as the main exemplar of the conditions, where:
1. The EU wields the assigned/conferred competences from the TFEU (Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union), where the principles enables the EU to act only from such given limits that actually are designated by the EU member states in order to attain the treaties’ objectives.
2. Competences that aren't accorded for the EU, then those will remain with the member states

In detail, there are 3 competences between the EU and its member states that are clarified by the Treaty of Lisbon:
1. Exclusive competences: Competences that only the EU alone to legislate and adopt binding acts, member states are allowed if only given permission by the EU. Exclusive competences includes:
  • Customs union
  • Competition rules of internal market
  • Monetary policy for European countries
  • Marine biological resources conservation under the common fisheries policy
  • Common commercial policy.
2. Shared competences: Competences that both the EU and its member states can legislate and adopt legally binding acts, where the exercising of the competences are highly present for the member States and not for the EU (or has decided not to). Shared competences include:
  • Internal market
  • Social policy
  • Economic, social and territorial cohesion (regional policy)
  • Agriculture and fisheries (except conservation of marine biological resources)
  • Environment and Energy
  • Consumer protection
  • Transportation and Trans-European networks
  • Area of freedom, security and justice
  • Public health matters common safety concerns
  • Research, technological development and space
  • Development cooperation and humanitarian aid.
3. Supporting competences: Competences where to support, coordinate, and complement the member states' actions can only be intervened by the EU (meaning that its nonurgent in its originality). And harmonization from member states aren't required for legally binding EU acts. Supporting competences include:
  • Human health development and protection 
  • Industry
  • Culture and tourism
  • Education, vocational training, youth and sport
  • Civil protection
  • Administrative cooperation

(1) alyazahra1 https://padlet.com/alyazahra1/t2u0guhz6xxke5m4/wish/2423623395 IR studies often focus on how the EU is dominantly influenced by IR. They incorporate liberal intergovernmentalism and neofunctionalism, which examine the regional integration process through a lens of power. Both approaches examine how the EU functions as a state that can control the process of regional integration through its control over its main interlocutor: the nation state. Also examined through these approaches are the inevitable consequences of regional cooperation including supranational actors becoming more prominent and interdependent states becoming entangled in a web of supranational ramifications.
 The European Union functions with a multilevel governance system. This means that representatives from member states hold accountable positions in the European Parliament alongside representatives from the public. Additionally, interaction between national and European executives who negotiate on policy is encouraged. This relationship is made possible by the collaboration of interest groups with European executives. Therefore, these interactions must abide by the limits established by political accountability and interest coordination in parliamentary systems. the concept of multilevel governance is key for understanding developments within a three-tiered EU polity because it directs scholarly attention to the incentives for regions to be involved in EU affairs and for national governments and EU institutions to share their authority with regions.]]> 2022-12-17 12:30:42 UTC https://padlet.com/alyazahra1/t2u0guhz6xxke5m4/wish/2423623395 The weakness of multi-level governance mechanism alyazahra1 https://padlet.com/alyazahra1/t2u0guhz6xxke5m4/wish/2423624069 Aside from the uneven distribution of power relation, As MLG formulated in an asymmetrical power hierarchy (which consist of a collaborative scheme of both vertical and horizontal structures), Homsy et al., (2018) concluded that one of the prominent weakness in MLG system is the difference of priority issues for each power-controller. Whereas, if the collide of interest between power-controller cease to find its centrality, clash will ensued. Another issue with also MLG captured by Harmes, (2006):

'This project is shown to be evident in the normative work of neoliberal organic intellectuals'...'neoliberal project seeks to separate economics from politics through the growing use of legal-juridical mechanisms designed to ‘lock-in’ neoliberal policies and thus insulate
them from democratic influence'..'the self-regulating market’s structural separation of politics and economics would create dislocations for both labour and capital and that each would demand measures of social self-protection through government intervention; a process which he termed the ‘double movement’'

It shows how the MLG system is a manifestation of complex neoliberal power bargaining to actualise a legal system where the decentralisation of a market-preserving policy could happen, where the market oriented and capital oriented policy came into being. The classic problem with this notion is that, it mostly ignores the struggle of class conflict.
