The New Eurocrats

Policies in the EU are largly made by national civil servants who prepare and implement decisions in Brussels as well as at home. This volume considers a wide variety of sources and research methods to answer such questions as: how many civil servants are actually involved in EU-related activities? What do these civil servants do when they engage with the EU? and how do they negotiate their dual roles? The New Eurocrats offers invaluable insights into these civil servants'working practices.
