Description
(Text)
This study examines the stability of legislativedecisions in the European Union before and afterenlargement and after the possible entry into forceof the Lisbon Treaty. Stability of decisions isanalysed both in terms of a risk ofdecision cycles and in terms of the frequency ofgridlock situations. The risk of such 'chaotic'decisions depends on three parameters, the applieddecision rules, the dimensionality of the conflictspace and the heterogeneity of actor preferences.Dietrich Drüner uses the concepts of the core and thewinset, which stem from spatial voting and vetoplayers theory and which incorporate the threeparameters. Testing these concepts against a dataset about 70 legislative proposals, Dietrich Drünergenerates empirical findings about the impacts ofenlargement and institutional reform on the EU'sdecision-making processes.This book is intended for scholars of Europeanintegration and politics as well as policy makers atboth the European and the national level.
