Description

This book uses principal-agent theory to explain the delegation of powers by governmental principals to supranational institutions in the EU, including the power to set the agenda.

This book studies the use of framing strategies by the European Commission in agenda-setting and policy development, focusing on the cases of agricultural policy and biotechnology.
​
This book discusses successful and unsuccessful attempts to include energy issues in the European policy agenda.
