This text brings together scholars from economic and political
sciences to study the interactions within the European Union from a
strategic or rational choice perspective. The contributors seek to
understand the relationship between member states and competing
European institutions, focusing on the horizontal, countervailing
forces of legislative, regulatory, bureaucratic and constitutional
decision making. Other examinations analyze the vertical
structures, in particular the impact of the federal distribution of
power on policy choices and on their implementation.
