Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Who really participates in the European policy process? Do organized outsiders have a clear advantage in gaining access to decision-making? If so, with what consequences? This study, by a multinational team of experts, examines the interplay between organized interests, member governments, and the European institutions, and argues that emerging patterns of European governance are starting to produce some policy outcomes that are different from those generated in national settings.

Who really participates in the European policy process? Do organized outsiders have a clear advantage in gaining access to decision-making? If so, with what consequences?
This study, based on a range of case studies of regulatory and industrial policies by a multinational team of authors, argues that the European policy process provides access points for a wide variety of interests -- firms, national trade associations, European sectoral and peak associations, clubs of big business, and 'civic' interests -- alongside the battalions of officials from the member states.
The interplay between these organized interests, the member governments, and the European institutions, fostered partly by the Commission in its roles of policy initiator and arbitrator, but anticipated also in the bargaining process of the Council of Ministers, produces some policy outcomes that are different from those in national settings. In particular, the case for liberalization and privatization is often strengthened. The emerging patterns of European governance are thus starting to change the characteristics of the European political economy.
The variety of views that are brought together provide a more comprehensive, indepth understanding of what are very complex processes. Their wide scope makes them of interest to anyone engaging with the European process or the evolution of business representation and public-private relations. - Hannah Tooze. Local Government Studies.
