European governance ranks high on the present
research agenda on Europe and has attracted considerable attention in public
debate over the course of the past decade. This book takes a special approach
as it highlights the multi-faceted interconnectedness of EU and national
governance that comes with public policy making in the European space. The
volume is a well-chosen selection from the research of leading,scholars working
on the EU. These scholars provide an insight into the current debate on
European governance by using state-of-the-art, theory-driven empirical
research. The individual chapters give evidence of the functioning and the
deficiencies of the penetrated system of governance that has emerged within the
European Union. The contributions highlight the diverse mechanisms which link
EU and national governance and, alongside the constraints, also demonstrate the
readiness and capacity of political bodies to adapt to demands from their
environment. Apart from this more functional view, individual chapters look at
the penetrated system of European governance from a normative perspective and
investigate the prospect of improving parliamentary accountability and the
formation of a European public space.
