Description
This book brings together scholars from economic and political science to study the interactions within the European Union from a strategic or rational choice perspective. The contributors seek to understand the relationship between member states and competing European institutions, focusing on the horizontal, countervailing forces of legislative, regulatory, bureaucratic and constitutional decision-making. Other examinations analyse the vertical structures, in particular the impact of the federal distribution of power on policy choices and on their implementation.
