A comparative assessment of the factors influencing administrative adjustment to European policy.
Knill provides a comparative assessment of the factors influencing administrative adjustment to European policy demands. His empirical focus considers the administrative impact of EU environmental policy in Britain and Germany. This study will interest students and scholars of European studies, comparative politics, environmental politics, public administration and organisational studies.Christoph Knill's book analyses the impact of European policies on national administrations. Under which conditions can we expect domestic change, particularly the convergence of administrative styles and structures? How can we explain national patterns of administrative transformation in the context of Europeanisation? Knill's study is a comparative assessment of the factors influencing administrative adjustment to European policy demands in the member states. It addresses the topic from an innovative theoretical perspective, combining institution-based and agency-based approaches, and includes a detailed account of the administrative impact of EU environmental policy in Britain and Germany. The Europeanisation of National Administrations will be of great interest to students, scholars and practitioners in the fields of European studies, public administration and public policy, environmental politics, and European and administrative law.
