Download or read book Agency Governance in the EU written by Berthold Rittberger and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rapid proliferation of EU agencies represents one of the most significant changes to the EU’s organisational set-up in past decades. At the same time, this development has significantly affected regulatory policy-making in the EU. This volume assembles the most renowned scholars in the field to address the key themes and challenges that agency governance in the EU poses to effective and legitimate policy-making. The first theme addresses the causes and dynamics of the creation and design of regulatory bodies in EU governance, focusing not only on EU agencies but also on alternatives to the agency format, such as regulatory networks. Second, once agencies are established, the book goes on to explore the consequences and trajectories of agency governance. How effective and autonomous are EU agencies? How does EU agency governance transform existing patterns of executive governance in the EU? Third, the book addresses the design of EU agencies as independent, non-majoritarian institutions poses pressing questions with a view to their legitimacy and accountability. The volume appeals to scholars and practitioners interested in the development and transformation of executive governance in the EU. This book was published as a special issue of the Journal of European Public Policy.
Book Synopsis Regulation Through Agencies in the EU by : Damien Geradin
Download or read book Regulation Through Agencies in the EU written by Damien Geradin and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The past decade has witnessed a proliferation of regulatory agencies at both the national and the EU level. This coherent and clearly structured book is the first of its kind to analyse in equal measure, and interdependently, both national regulatory authorities and European agencies. It brings together a select group of highly esteemed contributors - authorities in their fields - to provide a systematic and over-arching view of regulation in the EU. Unlike many of the previous attempts to shed light on this increasingly opaque and complex co-existence of regulatory systems, this book takes a genuinely multi-disciplinary approach with integrated perspectives from law, politics and economics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book approaches the notion of good governance from three different angles. First it establishes whether it is a meaningful notion at all by taking a closer look at the parameters of good governance. Secondly, the authors look at the institutional translation of the criteria of good governance. In a third dimension, the concept may be analysed in relation to a number of substantive issues.
Book Synopsis The Role of EU Agencies in the Eurozone and Migration Crisis by : Johannes Pollak
Download or read book The Role of EU Agencies in the Eurozone and Migration Crisis written by Johannes Pollak and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-11-30 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a wealth of empirical material to understand key aspects of EU governance including its plurality of actors and policy making modes and its functioning during crisis management. Authored by legal scholars and political scientists, it presents new research and insights on the role of EU agencies in the context of the Euro and migration crises. Specifically, the contributions assess why the crises have led to the creation of new EU agencies and what roles these agencies have performed since their inception; how the crisis, notably the migration crisis, has impacted on existing EU agencies; how EU agencies have shaped the policies during and after the crises; and, how the crisis has affected the accountability of EU agencies. This book is essential in understanding the intricacies of EU crisis management and the specific role of EU agencies therein, as well as EU governance more broadly.

Book Synopsis European Agencies in Between Institutions and Member States by : Michelle Everson
Download or read book European Agencies in Between Institutions and Member States written by Michelle Everson and published by Kluwer Law International. This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite concerted efforts in recent years to define the position of agencies in the Union framework, a clear overall view of their role and powers in relation to the EU institutions and to the Member States is still lacking. Their hybrid character as part of the composite EU executive, and the fact that increasing powers are delegated to them, makes an understanding of the efficacy and accountability of agencies ever more important. Benefitting from both academic and practitioner insights from law, political and social sciences, this important book offers an in-depth analysis of the current challenges surrounding European agencies in terms of their design, autonomy, supervisory competence, and legal nature. Among the topics covered are the following: realities of the accountability mechanisms currently in place; impact of agency acts on the EU's institutional balance of powers; agencies as global actors acting on behalf of Member States and EU external relations; agencies derived from former networks of national regulators; non-hierarchical 'par' nature of agencies vis-à-vis corresponding national authorities; agencies as crucial amalgams between EU institutions and Member States; effect of the Meroni doctrine; new financial supervisory agencies resulting from recent economic and financial crises; special role of telecommunications agencies; and intricacies of the relationship between agencies and the European Parliament. Because EU agencies are designed to facilitate the implementation of EU law at the national level, powers are increasingly conferred on them in order to ensure that rules are enforced effectively and uniformly. The time has come, however, to confront the many questions of legality and constitutionality that remain. This book responds to the vital as to the role and powers of agencies in relation to their manifold 'principals', the EU institutions and the Member States, and lays a firm foundation for managing the challenges ahead.

Book Synopsis Regulatory Delegation in the European Union by : Emmanuelle Mathieu
Download or read book Regulatory Delegation in the European Union written by Emmanuelle Mathieu and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-09-08 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the regulatory capacity of the EU as it responds to the huge challenge of realizing the single market. It explores its weaknesses, the EU regulatory networks, expert committees and EU agencies formed in response, and the exceptionally large and complex transnational regulatory system which has resulted. It defines the EU regulatory space as a multi-faceted phenomenon of institutional expansion whose shape varies across sectors and changes over time. Empirically based on the exploration of how regulatory delegation has emerged and evolved in three key EU policies (food safety, electricity, and telecommunications), the book disentangles and links together the functional, institutional and power-distributional factors and their interplay over time into a unified explanation of the many faces of the EU regulatory space.

Book Synopsis An Organizational Approach to Public Governance by : Morten Egeberg
Download or read book An Organizational Approach to Public Governance written by Morten Egeberg and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-10-04 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate change, economic crises, migration, and terrorism are among the many problems that challenge public governance in modern societies. Many of these problems are spanning political and administrative units; horizontally, vertically, and both. This makes public governance particularly challenging and turbulent. Since public governance mainly takes place through public organizations, like international organizations, ministries, and regulatory agencies, this book examines what difference organizational factors make in the governance process. The volume launches a general organizational approach to public governance. It outlines key theoretical dimensions that cut across governance structures and processes horizontally as well as vertically, thus paving the way for integrating separate empirical analyses into a coherent theoretical whole. Moreover, the organizational (independent) variables outlined in this book represent classical dimensions in the organization literature that are generic in character. This allows for generalizations across time and space. The volume also examines (organizational) design implications: By building systematic knowledge on how organizational factors shape governance processes on the one hand, and how organizational factors themselves might be deliberately changed on the other, the book offers a knowledge base for organizational design.
Book Synopsis Controllers, Profiteers Or Enablers? by : Martin Robert Jan Weinrich
Download or read book Controllers, Profiteers Or Enablers? written by Martin Robert Jan Weinrich and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 37 EU agencies are a sizable part of the EU's multi-level administration. Created in negotiations between the European Commission, the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union, these semi-independent bodies contain intergovernmental, supranational and transnational characteristics. EU agencies are networked bodies: not only the European Commission, but also national authorities are omnipresent on their management boards and in their working groups. Because of their voting majority on management boards and in EU agencies' working groups, national officials' behaviour can determine EU agencies' output. While the Commission pursues a clear supranational agenda, the role of national representatives remains ambiguous: Often detached from direct domestic political control and - at least in theory - accountability-holders of EU agencies, national representatives have incentives to control EU agencies, align their work with their domestic one or co-create EU-level solutions. This thesis addresses the question, when the behaviour of national officials promotes intergovernmental, bureaucratic or transnational interests in EU agencies. Empirically, the thesis proceeds in three steps. First, it develops a typology of EU agencies according to their main activities and classifies all 37 agencies into four categories: authorisation, regulation, implementation and information agency. Second, it maps the formal, de jure role of national representatives in all 37 agencies' governance structure on the basis of their founding regulations. This mapping exercise shows that the stronger the formal competences of an agency, the stronger is the position of national representatives in an agency's governance set-up. Moreover, the mapping reveals variation across the four agency types. Building upon these findings, the study selects four EU agencies that cover the variance in formal governance set-ups for in-depth case studies on national representatives' behaviour: the European Environment Agency as an information agency, the European Maritime Safety Agency as an authorisation agency, the European Maritime Safety Agency as an implementation agency and the European Banking Authority as a regulatory agency. On the basis of 47 semi-structured interviews with 53 national and Commission representatives as well as agency officials, the final part of the study illustrates that different governance set-ups have only a mediating influence on the interests, national representatives promote in EU agencies. Across the entire variance of formal structures, national representatives safeguard their bureaucratic interest, especially where they risk being overburdened by the administrative consequences of EU agency decisions. Only in salient agencies, intergovernmental control concerns play a significant role. Primarily, however, national representatives create synergies between their domestic work and EU agencies' work. Even though this is likewise motivated by bureaucratic interests, it contributes to the expansion of EU agencies tasks and a further centralisation of the EU's multi-level administration. Moreover, national representatives value the learning opportunities that EU agencies provide and in case of different opinion with the Commission or other national representatives prefer to invest time in finding consensual solutions instead of blocking further action. Thereby, national representatives across all four cases do not only represent exogenous, domestic preferences but also transnational interests, endogenous to the specific environment around each EU agency. These findings indicate that national representatives both constrain and enable EU agencies. Their bureaucratic turf and reputational interests set the boundary at which they begin to oppose further EU agency measures. Their interest in efficient workflows and coordination as well as their genuine interest in EU-wide solutions, on the other hand, enables EU agencies to perform and occasionally expand the scope of their actions.
Book Synopsis European Security Governance by : Charlotte Wagnsson
Download or read book European Security Governance written by Charlotte Wagnsson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-05-11 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the problems of, and prospects for, strengthening the global system of security governance in a manner consistent with the aspirations and practices of the EU. The EU approach to security governance has been successful in its immediate neighbourhood: it has successfully exported its preferred norms and principles to applicant countries, thereby 'pacifying' its immediate neighbourhood and making all of Europe more secure. The EU governance orientation ultimately seeks to enlarge the European security community and expand the geopolitical area within which armed conflicts are inconceivable, and where state and private actors converge around a set of norms and rules of behaviour and engagement. The EU's success along its immediate boundaries has not yet been replicated on a global scale; it remains an open question whether the EU system of governance can be exported globally, owing to different normative structures (for example, a tolerance of armed conflict or non-democratic governance internally), great-power competition (such as US--China), or ongoing processes of securitization that has made it difficult to find a commonly accepted definition of security. Moreover, the EU system of security governance clashes with the continuing unwillingness of other major powers to cede or pool sovereignty as well as varying preferences for unilateral as opposed to multilateral forms of statecraft. This edited volume addresses both the practical and political aspects of security governance and the barriers to the globalization of the EU system of security governance, particularly in the multipolar post-Cold War era. This book will be of great interest to students of security governance, EU politics, European Security and IR in general.

Book Synopsis Building EU Regulatory Capacity by : Eva Heims
Download or read book Building EU Regulatory Capacity written by Eva Heims and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-09-29 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines regulatory capacity beyond the nation state. It suggests that we can only understand why EU agencies are able to build EU regulatory capacity if we acknowledge that national regulators provide their expertise, staff and resources to the regulatory processes taking place in these EU bodies. This raises the puzzle of why national regulators are willing to provide ‘life support’ to potentially rival organisations. The book is devoted to answering this question in order to understand how EU regulatory capacity is created in the absence of a full supranational regulatory bureaucracy. To do so, the book studies to what extent national regulators from two countries (the UK and Germany) support EU agencies in their work across four policy sectors (drug safety, food safety, maritime safety and banking supervision). The book makes a significant contribution by developing a bureaucratic politics perspective that highlights the importance of national regulators for EU regulatory capacity building.
Book Synopsis Human Rights Law and Evidence-Based Policy by : Rosemary Byrne
Download or read book Human Rights Law and Evidence-Based Policy written by Rosemary Byrne and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-12-06 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The EU Fundamental Rights Agency (FRA) was established to provide evidence-based policy advice to EU institutions and Member States. By blending social science research with traditional normative work, it aims to influence human rights policy processes through new ways of framing empirical realities. The contributors to this volume critically examine the experience of the Agency in its first decade, exploring FRA’s historical, political and legal foundations and its evolving record across major strands of EU fundamental rights. Central themes arising from these chapters include consideration of how the Agency manages the tension between a mandate to advise and the more traditional approach of human rights bodies to ‘monitor’, and how its research impacts the delicate equilibrium between these two contesting roles. FRA's experience as the first ‘embedded’ human rights agency is also highlighted, suggesting a role for alternative and less oppositional orientations for human rights research. While authors observe the benefits of the technocratic approach to human rights research that is a hallmark of FRA’s evidence-based policy advice, they also note its constraints. FRA’s policy work requires a continued awareness of political realities in Brussels, Member States, and civil society. Consequently, the complex process of determining the Agency’s research agenda reflects the strategic priorities of key actors. This is an important factor in the Agency’s role in the EU human rights landscape. This pioneering position of the Agency should invite reflection on new forms of institutionalized human rights research for the future.
