In recent years, the failure of the constitutional process, the
difficult ratification and implementation of the Lisbon Treaty, as
well as the several crises affecting Europe have revitalized the
debate on the nature of the European polity and the balance of
powers in Brussels. This book explains the redistribution of power
in the post-Lisbon EU with a focus on the European Council. Reform
of institutions and the creation of new political functions at the
top of the European Union have raised fresh questions about
leadership and accountability. This book argues that the European
Union exhibits a political order with hierarchies, mechanisms of
domination and legitimating narratives. As such, it can be
understood by analysing what happens at its summit. Taking the
European Council as the nexus of European political governance,
contributors consider council and rotating presidencies'
co-operation, rivalry and opposition. The book combines approaches
through events, processes and political structures, issues and the
biographical trajectories of actors and explores how the founding
compromise of European integration between sovereignty and
supranationality is affected by the evolving nature of this new
European political model which aims to combine cooperation and
integration. The European Council and European Governance will be
of strong interest to students and scholars of European studies,
political science, political sociology, public policy and
international relations.
