Comitology
This article sheds new light on deliberative dynamics at work in comitology. Starting from the findings of previous research on the frequency of consensus within the comitology committees of the EU in 2008, this article seeks to provide a measure of the intensity of opposition to the Commission’s draft implementing proposals before and after the 2011 comitology reform. Applying this approach to data from the comitology register (2008–2013), the a…
Consensus under pressure
La crise actuelle pourrait nous conduire à anticiper une augmentation du conflit dans la procédure législative de l’UE, et, in fine, une évolution d’un système consensuel à un système majoritaire. Cet article entend tester cette hypothèse à travers une évaluation de l’évolution du conflit dans la procédure législative de l’UE. Il constitue une première tentative d’utiliser la base de données de l’Observatory of European Institutions pour approfon…
Les affaires économiques et financières en temps de crise
L’article examine l’évolution de l’activité législative dans le secteur des Affaires économiques et financières et s’interroge sur l’impact de la crise dans ce domaine. Si l’on observe de façon attendue une opposition entre États membres, la même tendance ne se manifeste par pour autant au niveau institutionnel : l’augmentation du nombre des textes et de leur volume ne saurait être interprétée comme le signe d’une conflictualité croissante entre …
L’Observatory of European Institutions
Le Centre d’études européennes et de politique comparée (CEE) de Sciences Po développe depuis 2005 une étude de la procédure législative européenne. L’Observatory of European Institutions (OEI) 1 vise à mieux saisir les logiques politiques à l’œuvre dans le processus décisionnel de l’Union européenne entre 1996 et 2014. Le projet remplit plusieurs objectifs : il s’agit d’abord de comprendre le processus politique par la constitution d’une base de…
La réactivité démocratique de l’Union européenne
Si de nombreuses études ont été consacrées au lien entre opinion et politiques publiques sur le plan national, notamment aux États-Unis, très peu semblent en revanche s’être penchées sur la question de la réactivité de l’Union européenne. Dans quelle mesure les politiques européennes prennent-elles en compte l’opinion des citoyens ? Les rares études consacrées à ce thème ont mis en évidence un lien entre le volume général de la production législa…
Managing the house
Although the importance of international organizations is well-established, the specific contribution made to their policy outputs by administrative as opposed to political actors is rarely investigated. Still less attention is paid to how intra-organizational factors within international administrations affect the latter’s capacity to influence those outputs. Even in the case of the European Union, where the European Commission’s power over deci…
Vive la crise
À rebours d’une lecture assez répandue, selon laquelle les multiples crises que connaît l’Europe sont à la base d’une sorte de déclin structurel des études européennes, la présente contribution y voit au contraire une occasion bienvenue d’explorer des aspects sous-étudiés de la construction européenne et de réfléchir à la façon dont ils peuvent être utilement analysés, facilitant du même coup une prise de distance bienvenue par rapport aux phénom…
Why has EU macroeconomic governance become more supranational
While much of the literature on the Euro crisis has highlighted the intergovernmental features of the European Union response, it appears that in strategic areas, such as macroeconomic policy or banking regulation, supranational institutions have seen their discretionary powers significantly enhanced and that they have played an instrumental role in bringing about such a change. This is all the more remarkable considering the decline in support f…
Has the European Union moved towards soft governance
How consensual is comitology
This contribution revisits the question of the alleged consensual and deliberative nature of comitology proceedings on new conceptual and empirical bases. On the conceptual plane, we argue that it is important to separate the analysis of decision-making from that of outcomes: the fact that committees generally end up ratifying Commission proposals does not mean the latter are never contested. Consensus and deliberation being closely related conce…
The European Commission of the Twenty-First Century
Co-authored by an international team of researchers and drawing on interviews with senior officials, 'The European Commission of the Twenty-First Century' tests, challenges and refutes many widely held myths about the European Commission and the people who work for it.
Negative Europeanisation
The 2013 elections had several of the features of a ‘Europeanised’ contest. Taking place against the background of a severe institutional crisis, they saw political parties pay substantial attention to European issues broadly defined, and witnessed an unprecedented attempt by a ‘European-level party’, the European People’s Party, to shape their outcome. The latter must therefore be analysed from a European perspective. Negative aspects appear to …
Intergovernmentalists in the Commission
Contrary to the dominant view in the scholarly literature on European institutions, where the European Commission is generally described as a unitary actor whose acts are primarily influenced by a political agenda and/or considerations of self-interest, this article argues that a variety of opinions coexist within the Commission staff. Based on the largest attitudinal survey ever conducted on Commission officials, it documents the existence of a …

Delegation of powers in the European union
Whereas a principal–agent model has widely been used to analyse the establishment of manifold autonomous agencies at the European level, it fails to capture some key elements of this process, such as the recurrent inter-institutional struggle of agency institutional design or the Commission's basic ambivalence vis-à-vis independent regulators. In contrast, acknowledging the absence of a clearly defined principal in the EU enables us to understand…

The Unmaking of a Constitution
The reference to a so-called “European Constitution” rendered recourse to referenda practically inevitable. Because it suggests a radical departure from the past, the term would inevitably affect how the constitutional treaty would be ratified. In a number of countries, the modifications of European treaties must in any case be submitted to a popular vote. In France, the idea of a referendum advanced by a number of personalities such as the presi…

Comitology
This article discusses the transformations which have taken place in perceptions of the "comitology' system at European level. Whereas committees were initially conceived of as an instrument of intergovernmental control over the Commission, the evidence suggests that their functioning is generally consensual and that the Commission is among the most influential actors in committees. This explains the recent shift in the discussions over the commi…

Regulation by networks in the European Community
The creation of European agencies is to be viewed as a response to the conflicting pressures to which the European Community is exposed in the post-1992 period. On the one hand, experience has demonstrated that legislative harmonization is not enough to dismantle internal barriers to trade, and that some convergence of administrative practices is necessary to level the playing field. On the other hand, the delegation of direct administrative resp…
