This book offers one of the most comprehensive accounts of European
Council and Council decision-making by covering two decades of
European integration from the late 1990s until the years after the
entering into force of the Lisbon Treaty. Case studies analyse the
European Council, the Eurogroup, the Economic and Financial Affairs
Council, the Foreign Affairs Council and the Employment, Social
Policy, Health and Consumer Affairs Council as well as the role of
senior coordination committees. Puetter provides a genuinely new
perspective on the European Council and the Council, portraying the
two institutions as embodying the new intergovernmentalism in
European Union Governance. The European Council and the Council
shows how post-Maastricht integration is based on an integration
paradox. Member states are eager to foster integration but insist
that this is done outside the community method. This especially
applies to new prominent areas of European Union activity including
economic governance, common foreign, security and defence policy as
well as employment and social policy. This book explains how the
evolution of these new areas triggered institutional change. Policy
coordination and intergovernmental agreement are identified as the
main governance mechanisms with the European Council and the
Council at the centre of these processes. This book features a
novel analytical framework - deliberative intergovernmentalism - to
trace institutional change after the Treaty of Maastricht. Joint
decision-making among member states is understood as
non-legislative decision-making which is geared towards permanent
consensus seeking and direct member state involvement at all stages
of the policy process.
