The development of the European Union has been one of the most
profound advances in European politics and society this century.
Yet the institutions of Europe and the 'Eurocrats' who work in them
have constantly attracted negative publicity, culminating in the
mass resignation of the European Commissioners in March 1999. In
this revealing study, Cris Shore scrutinises the process of
European integration using the techniques of anthropology, and
drawing on thought from across the social sciences. Using the
findings of numerous interviews with EU employees, he reveals that
there is not just a subculture of corruption within the
institutions of Europe, but that their problems are largely a
result of the way the EU itself is constituted and run. He argues
that European integration has largely failed in bringing about
anything but an ever-closer integration of the technical, political
and financial elites of Europe - at the expense of its ordinary
citizens. This critical anthropology of European integration is
essential reading for anyone with an interest in the culture and
politics of the EU.
