Descrizione articolo

Riassunto

The European Union is composed of its fifteen member governments, yet these governments have chosen repeatedly to delegate executive, judicial and legislative powers and substantial discretion to supranational institutions such as the Commission, the Court of Justice, and the European Parliament. In The Engines of Integratio, the first full-length study of delegation in the European Union and international politics, Mark Pollack draws on principal-agent analyses of delegation, agency and agenda setting to analyze and explain the delegation of powers by governmental principals to supranational agents, and the role played by those agents in the process of European integration.

Recensione

What is fresh about this investigation of European Union institutions by Mark Pollack is that it operates within a clear analytic framework provided by principal-agency theory. This has a number of advantages over traditional descriptive accounts ... The book also serves a highly useful purpose in focussing much of the relevant literature on principal-agency theory from both sides of the Atlantic as it applies to the Union. (Journal of Public Policy)

Pollack has written an excellent book from a fresh perspective which provides a most welcome challenge to much conventional writing on the European Union and its institutions. (Journal of Public Policy)

... will interest scholars, students and policy researchers of EU affairs. (KnowEurope)
