The European Commission has increasingly focused on the benefits it
can derive from the greater participation of organized civil
society in its role and activities. In the face of general decline
in public trust in the institutions of government, it facilitated
and encouraged new channels of access and consultation
opportunities as a means to legitimize its position within the
European political system. Karen Heard-Laureote's comparative
analysis of four European Commission advisory forums innovatively
investigates the existence of a conflict between the capacities of
such forums to deliver standards of good governance. The author
questions whether these venues can provide efficiency gains via the
production of sufficient policy output without delays or deadlocks
at reasonable cost and sustain adequate democratic credentials such
as legitimacy. This study makes a significant contribution to its
field by pursuing contemporary legitimacy debates asking whether
under certain conditions or in certain policy-making contexts,
legitimacy and efficiency may be reconciled or become at least
partially compatible in European Commission committees. European
Union Governance will be of interest to students and researchers of
European Union politics and policy-making.
