A fully documented text which addresses a key issue of EU
decision-making which is surfacing again in proposed institutional
reforms. It looks at the role of smaller states, deals with the
important criteria of distribution and redistribution of EU
budgetary expenditures in the key areas of agriculture and
structural funds and explains how smaller states promote their
interest more effectively than larger states. It focuses on the
administrations of small states, their relations with the
Commission and their negotiation tactics in the Council. This is
the first attempt to empirically test Peter Katzenstein's thesis on
the role of smaller states in international relations by making
important recommendations on how the core assumptions of
Katzenstein need to be modified, especially when applied to the EU
context. This work is a good supplementary text book for courses on
European studies, comparative politics and international relations.
It is particularly suitable for advanced undergraduates and
graduate students.
