Overview
- Develops the idea that EU regulatory capacity building rests on the willingness of EU and national regulators to go above and beyond in cooperating with each other
- Examines what motivates national regulators to play a role in building EU regulatory capacity by devoting their expertise and staff to the work of potential rival organisations, namely EU agencies
- Argues that national regulators support EU agencies in their work if it helps them to tackle the key regulatory challenges they face in their domestic contexts
Part of the book series: Executive Politics and Governance (EXPOLGOV)

About this book
Reviews
“This book provides an excellent analysis of the complex relationship between national and European administrative actors and draws a nuanced picture of the conditions influencing European regulatory capacity building. Comparing four policy domains in two different countries, it delivers rich empirical evidence for its argument.” (Eva Ruffing, Leibniz University Hannover, Germany)
“A valuable and insightful contribution on regulatory capacity building in the EU. The book’s persuasive argument and evidence underscore theimportance of adopting a bureaucratic politics perspective to studying co-operation dilemmas in the EU, as well as the value of studying this system in its multiple composite layers, rather than zooming in on EU-level regulators alone.” (Madalina Busuioc, Leiden University, The Netherlands)
