Description
Book SynopsisKleine provides the first systematic analysis of the parallel development of the formal rules and informal norms that have governed the EU from the 1958 Treaty of Rome until today.
Trade ReviewThe author provides a compelling argument for understanding the prevalence of informal governance. Using a clear conceptualization, she exposes various practices in EU policy making that have been documented frequently, but have rarely been studied in a coherent framework....In sum, I recommend Informal Governance in the European Union to students, scholars and practitioners interested in decision making, public administration and international organizations.
