Drawing on research from the administrative sciences and using organizational, institutional and decision-making theories, this volume examines the emerging bureaucratic framework of the EU and highlights that analyzing the patterns and dynamics of the EU's administrative capacities is essential to understand how it shapes European public policy.
Interessekonflikter i norsk handelspolitikk
(This book in Norwegian): I handelspolitikken er det ofte et dilemma mellom offensive næringer som ønsker frihandel og best mulig tilgang til eksportmarkedene, og defensive næringer som ønsker beskyttelser mot import. For eksempel ønsker fiskerinæringen i dag fri handel for å øke eksporten, mens Norge for landbruksnæringen har tollsatser som er blant de høyeste i verden. Tidligere hadde Norge omfattende importvern for tekstilvarer. Hvordan kan de offensive og defensive interessene ivaretas på samme tid i Norges handelsforhandlinger med andre land? Hva er kostnadene ved å stenge importen ute, og hva taper eksportnæringene på barrierer i andre land? Hvem bestemmer når næringen har ulike interesser? I denne nye boken blir dette analysert prinsipielt, økonomisk, institusjonelt og historisk, med bidrag fra åtte ulike forfattere fra NUPI og fire norske universiteter. Boken er et akademisk bidrag i en aktuell debatt, og et innspill til utformingen av Norges framtidige handelspolitikk, samtidig som den inneholder et omfattende materiale om Norges handelsforhandlinger fra 1800-tallet og fram til 2015.
