The European Union is paradoxical: it is not a state, yet it
performs many traditional functions of the state. Its regulatory
powers are immense but its redistributive functions are negligible;
its decisions penetrate all aspects of economic and social life,
yet Brussels has no local administration or tribunals, no
controllers capable of guaranteeing the correct and faithful
implementation of the regulations or objectives which frame
European policies. Ths book explores the means through which this
paradox is confronted. It examines the nature and modalities of
policy-making at Community level and discusses the implications of
the specific nature of European institiutions for bargaining group
mobilization and policy style. It then studies how the three major
nation states have adjusted their policy processes and institutions
to the European challenges. Finally, it considers the impact of
community decisions in three areas: industrial, competition and
social policy.
