    Abstract It is generally assumed that in EU Member States the right of recognized environmental organizations (ENGOs) to file lawsuits under the Aarhus Convention contributes not only to a better enforcement of environmental law, but also to an improvement of environmental quality. However, this has not yet been investigated. Hence, this paper examines whether 49 lawsuits that environmental associations filed against air quality plans of German cities between 2011 and 2019 had a positive effect on air quality by reducing NO 2 emissions in the respective cities. Using a staggered difference-in-differences regression model, we show that, on average, lawsuits against cities’ clean air plans have a negative effect on NO 2 concentration in these cities. In fact, the NO 2 concentration in cities sued by ENGOs decreased by about 1.31 to 3.30 µg/m 3 relative to their counterfactual level.

    the case of healthcare provision for refugees by German states

    Abstract Abstract Comparative migration policy research has increasingly dealt with the question of whether partisan differences in government can explain differences between migration policies. The empirical findings, however, for both, European states and states of the USA, are inconsistent as governing parties’ positions on integration policies do not in all cases explain the differences in migration legislation. This article investigates the conditions under which German states opt for a permissive model of healthcare provision for asylum seekers as an alternative to the existing restrictive bureaucratic model. Using a fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA), we find that a left-of-center state government is a necessary condition for the introduction of the alternative model. Full cost reimbursement by the state is the sufficient condition, i.e. the permissive alternative model is fully implemented only in those states with a left-of-center state government and where municipalities do not bear the risk of potentially higher costs for healthcare provision. With this unambiguous partisan effect, this article represents an important contribution to the international debate.

    Abstract The debate on the Europeanization of public policies is a specific branch of the new field of research on Europeanization. It aims at understanding how national policies are shaped and changed due to European integration. This research is, however, still in its "infancy". The aim of this paper is threefold: Firstly, it aims at offering an empirically underpinned typology of three mechanisms of Europeanization. Secondly, in doing so, it wants to point to one mechanism of Europeanization that has not been addressed so far (namely Europeanization by evasion) and thus extend the empirical lens. Thirdly, the paper aims at extending the conceptual lens by emphasizing that and why Europeanization is much more than the mere implementation of European policies.
