Abstract Explorative paper on the presence, extent and type of influence EU-level think tanks exert on EU policy. Abstract Argues that the agenda-setting privileges of policy-makers, the dynamics of issue linkages, and legislative rules and procedures may account for the differences between EU and US climate change policies.

Abstract Argues that the success of the European Convention in producing a Constitutional Treaty was possible because of the agenda control exercised by the Praesidium and in particular its President. Abstract Disucces the extent to which the Council Presidency allows a Member State to exert influence on EU decision-making by analysing the Polish Council Presidency and its influence on the European Union’s Eastern Partnership policies.
