Standing with FC St. Pauli: An examination of a reflexive autoethnographic account of a woman sports fan’s experience of German men’s professional football
Purpose The professional German football team Fuβball Club Sankt Pauli of Hamburg (FC St. Pauli) are renowned for their inclusive celebration of community alongside fervent fan-driven social and political activism. The club attract local, national and international interest and relatively frequent academic examination, yet little scrutiny is afforded the woman fan’s experience or the gendered practices that often complicate the position of women …
State aid policy in the United Kingdom post-Brexit: A case of de-Europeanisation as orbiting Europeanisation
Competition policy has been at the core of the European integration project from its very inception. The United Kingdom (UK) played a truly pivotal role in the development of European Union (EU) competition policy with the policy long presenting one of the best illustrations of Europeanisation. The public vote for Brexit in 2016 pushed the reset button for the UK's engagement with the EU and saw successive UK governments all pursuing a de-Europea…
Women’s association football (soccer) in Brisbane, Queensland 1921–1933: New perspectives on early competition
In September 1921, two representative women’s teams played association football (soccer) on the Brisbane Cricket Ground in Queensland, Australia. The crowd size, approximately 10,000, was not commensurate with those attending matches featuring Dick, Kerr Ladies in England during the same period, but it was nonetheless a significant crowd at a match now widely acknowledged as Australia’s first public game of women’s association football. New evide…
Sea-level playing fields: An exploration of the histories of beach soccer and its practices within one specific context, the Australian beach
Football, or soccer, is a simple game. It requires very little in the way of practical resources. Markers for a goal, a ball-shaped object. This simplicity enables the sport to be undertaken almost anywhere. Yet the beach is one place the game requires a substantial rethink in approach and participation. The best players do not necessarily make the best beach soccer players. For many Australians, the coastal edge of their continent is more than a…
A Changing UK in a Changing Europe: The UK State between European Union and Devolution
Two issues currently dominate the UK 's constitutional landscape: the UK 's membership of the European Union ( EU ) on the one hand; and the unsettled constitutional settlements between the UK and the devolved administrations of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland on the other. This article considers these two issues in concert. It stresses the distinct relationships between the EU and the devolved territories within the UK —concerning both devo…
Green: Exploring the aestheticized use of chroma-key techniques and technologies in two intermedial productions
Peggy Shaw’s RUFF , (USA 2013) and Queensland Theatre Company’s collaboration with Queensland University of Technology, Total Dik! , (Australia 2013) overtly and evocatively draw on an aestheticized use of the cinematic techniques and technologies of Chroma Key to reveal the tensions in their production and add layers to their performances. In doing so they offer invaluable insight where the filmic and theatrical approaches overlap. This paper dr…
The Radical Right in Germany: 1870 To the Present
The Radical Right has represented a major element in German politics and society throughout the history of the united country (i.e. since the 1870s), though the understandable concentration on the Third Reich (1933-45) has tended to distort the wider picture. This book explores the history of the radical right through the full span of Germany's life as a nation, thus putting the Third Reich in its natural context, and also emphasising that the at…

Marking out the pitch: A historiography and taxonomy of football fiction
Football, or soccer as it is more commonly referred to in Australia and the US, is arguably the world’s most popular sport. It generates a proportionate volume of related writing. Within this landscape, works of novel-length fiction are seemingly rare. This paper establishes and maps a substantial body of football fiction works, explores elements and qualities exhibited individually and collectively. In bringing together current, limited surveys …
Right-Wing Violence in Germany: Assessing the Objectives, Personalities and Terror Trail of the National Socialist Underground and the State's Response to It
In the last five years the forces of organised right-wing extremism have made electoral advances across many states in contemporary Europe. Germany has not been immune and the extreme right party, the National Democratic Party of Germany won its first seat in the European Parliament since 1989. The recent successes of the extreme right pose issues for European society about tolerance and immigration policy, but this scene has also been associated…
Northern Ireland: 40 Years of EU Membership
Since the United Kingdom and Ireland joined the European Communities (EC) 40 years ago, Northern Ireland has not only witnessed many of the darkest years of ‘The Troubles’ but also emerged from violent conflict as a more economically prosperous region with a broadly functioning devolved administration. The EU has often enjoyed a high profile, particularly as a source of funding. Successive European Parliament (EP) elections have been hotly contes…
Today’s Softness is Tomorrow’s Nightmare’: Intensifying the Fight against Cartels in Brussels and Bonn
The pursuit of hard-core cartel activity represents the core aspect of modern antitrust. Since the late 1990s, increased recognition of dangers posed by cartelization has led European competition regulators to initiate organizational changes and to modernize procedures and practice to combat cartels. However, has policy toward hard-core cartels softened in a harsher economic environment from late 2008? This article provides a comparative examinat…
European Governance: Policy‐Making between Politicization and Control – Edited by G. Walzenbach
Much More Than a Phantom Menace! Assessing the Character, Level and Threat of Neo-Nazi Violence in Germany, 1977–2003
Acts of politically motivated violence and terrorism have troubled many European states since the end of the 1960s. A general consensus holds that the most serious dangers and levels of politically motivated violent crime in the last three decades emanated from the left of the political spectrum, while those from the right were often downplayed or underestimated. Why and to what extent did and does far right violence constitute any significant da…
Europeanization unleashed and rebounding: Assessing the modernization of EU cartel policy
1 May 2004 marks a truly historic date in the evolving history of the European Union (EU). Alongside the much publicized EU enlargement to twenty-five members this date also initiated what amounts to nothing less than a revolution in the way that competition policy in the EU is both administered and made. The new changes affect the handling of both anti-trust and mergers cases and aim to both modernize and decentralize decision-making. Cartelbust…
Exploring eurovisions: Awareness and knowledge of the European Union in Northern Ireland
The European Union embodies a new tier of governance at the European level and one that increasingly impacts upon many issues of contemporary public policy. Yet are people aware, can they identify with the EU and its activities? Do they know why and which policy areas are regulated at the European level, how decisions are made in Brussels, or do they simply feel alienated from the EU? The links between the individual citizen and the EU integratio…
At the Commission’s Discretion: Cartelbusting and Fining Infringements Under the EU’s Restrictive Practices Policy
Although the last decade has seen an increased interest from political science in many aspects of EU competition policy the issue of cartelbusting has been almost totally neglected. This is a curious situation given that this remains by far the major aspect of the European Commission’s activities in the competition arena. By merging the available, albeit extremely limited, public administration and policy studies literature with the legal literat…
Discretion and Politicization in EU Competition Policy: The Case of Merger Control
In a world where goods and services (but also people, capital and ideas) are increasingly ignoring national borders, competition policy has emerged as a highly salient issue at the heart of international trade discussions. Aspects of competition policy, from cartels and monopolies to state aids and the liberalization of the utilities, have become a regular feature in the pages of the financial and legal press and have become identified as a centr…
Discretion in European merger control: The German regime in context
Merger control is used in this article to illustrate the exercise of discretion in economic regulation. It suggests that discretion is unavoidable and examines the various modes of discretion exercised by institutions such as the Bundeskartellamt and Directorate‐General IV of the European Union. It argues that institutions should be structured to deploy discretion productively and to modify both legal and economic modes of analysis. Four elements…
Disarming the Commission: The Debate over a European Cartel Office
The first supranational policy in the European Union: Competition policy
Competition policy has become a salient issue in the last decade. The purpose of this article is to widen discussion amongst political scientists of an issue that has been dominated by the disciplines of economics and law. The concept of a competition policy is the foundation stone of the entire European Union. It lies at the very heart of efforts to establish a common market and within the EU competition policy arena the decision making powers h…
