| Summary: | "This volume suggests a new framework of analysis of the European state-building tradition. Based on qualitative research (including more than thirty interviews with protagonists) and detailed case studies and policy analyses (the genesis of the Single Market programme and the Single European Act, Esprit technology corporatism, biotechnology, EU regional and social policy), the authors show that new forms of cooperation between political and economic actors have developed, at both transnational and supranational level. The book shows how the European Commission, bureaucratic cabinets, national diplomats, transnational companies, pressure groups and representatives of the regions have set in motion a process that is changing statehood in Europe dramatically. This discussion of the origins of this process is a valuable contribution to the debate on the future of Europe in the world system."--Jacket. |
