This book examines the position and role of expertise in European
policy-making and governance. At a time when the very notion of
expertise and expert advice is increasingly losing authority, the
book addresses these challenges by empirically examining specific
administrative processes and institutional designs in the European
Union. The first part of the volume theorizes expertise and its
contestation by examining accounts of the legitimate institutional
design of knowledge production processes and exploring the
theoretical links of Europeanisation and expertise. The second part
of the book delves into empirical institutionalist accounts of
expertise and maps the role of experts in a variety of EU
institutions but also explains the implications when EU bodies
themselves are in an 'expert' position, such as agencies. The book
offers insights into how individual experts deal with the challenge
of producing reports that will be heard by policy-makers, while at
the same time preserving their independence. Broadening its scope,
the book then expands the analysis to the role of advisory
committees in light of the shift from a reliance primarily on
in-house expertise to including more external experts in advisory
groups in the European Commission and European Parliament as well
as at the European External Action. In the third part, the book
opens the lens to developments beyond the EU by taking into account
two highly pertinent fields: climate change and trade. These fields
are highly complex, fast-developing, and politicised issues, and
the book engages with them in order to provide an outside-in
perspective on expertise. Chapter 6 is available open access under
