Europeanization and transnational states

Description:

"Europeanization and Transnational States provides an extensive comparative survey of the central governments in four Scandinavian countries and analyses the ways in which the European Union has influenced the day-to-day work of their state administrations. It includes coverage of Denmark, a long-standing member of the European Union, Finland and Sweden, countries that became members in 1995 and Norway, a non-member." "The book utilizes various theoretical perspectives - such as adaptation to external pressure, strategic choice, path-dependencies and translation - to explain the changes related to increased European integration in central government agencies. It concludes that the consequences of Europeanization can be described as the growth of a transnational administration where identities as well as loyalties are created in processes that transcend the borders of states."--Jacket.
