Is 'Brussels' the remote and insensitive bureaucracy of popular mythology? The 'civil service' of the European Union is little known: this book provides an accessible account of its structures and their evolution; the administrative traditions on which they draw; and the selection, training and careers, lifestyle, and ethos of EU officials.

Book Overview: 'It is about time someone wrote this book...The Stevenses examine the history of the Communities which produced the administrative model which Brussels has been stuck with for four decades, take a dispassionate look at the administration's strange forms of admission and promotion, and provide the definitive pay-and-conditions guide.' - European Voice
