The manner in which time is institutionalized is critical to how a
political system works. Terms, time budgets and time horizons of
collective and individual political actors; rights over timing,
sequencing and speed in decision-making; and the temporal
properties of policy matter to the distribution of power;
efficiency and effectiveness of policy-making; and democratic
legitimacy. This book makes a case for the systematic study of
political time in the European Union (EU) - both as an independent
and a dependent variable - and highlights the analytical
value-added of a time-centred analysis. The book discusses previous
scholarship on the institutionalization of political time and its
consequences along the dimensions of polity, politics and policy;
reviews dominant perspectives on political time, which centre on
power, system performance and legitimacy; and presents case studies
that illustrate the importance of time in the governance of the EU.
This book was original published as a special issue of Journal of
European Public Policy.
