Brussels Bureaucrats?: The Administration of the European Union (The European Union Series)

by Anne Stevens (Author), Anne Stevens (Author)

Synopsis

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.
