The ZEI Monitor traces the implementation of the annual work programs of the European Commission. It provides researchers and practitioners with a research tool to continuously analyze the legislation of the EU institutions for which the Ordinary Legislative Procedure is applicable. President Jean-Claude Juncker presented ten priorities that guide the Commission's work for the period 2014-2019.
Results
The ongoing monitoring of the European Commission's work by the ZEI Monitor is included in a final evaluation so that the entire legislative period can be subjected to a complete analysis.
The Juncker Commission. Politicizing EU Policies
- Robert Stüwe / Thomas Panayotopoulos (Hrsg.)
The primary epistemological interest of the book is to explore strategies of the European Commission in dealing with the phenomenon of politicisation in EU legislation. In a case study of President Jean-Claude Juncker's term in office, the authors of the anthology analyse how the EU Commission set certain policy priorities between 2014 and 2019 to advance its agenda. The subject of the analysis are the ten political priorities of the Juncker Commission from the annual work programmes since 2014. The starting point of the study is Juncker's proclaimed self-image as a "political Commission". The assessment of the "politicisation" of integration policy projects is ambivalent: On the one hand, the Juncker Commission has deliberately taken up politicised issues and used them as opportunities for political leadership and for sharpening its own institutional profile. On the other hand, the EU Commission has sometimes been forced to engage in damage limitation in crises and controversies.
