Popis: | This article reviews new studies of ‘informal governance’ in the European Union (EU). After exploring the concept's intellectual history and various meanings in EU studies, it introduces the reader to the International Relations school of informal governance. This school emphasizes that states have alternatives to following the official rules, and that these alternatives significantly alter the formal rules' effect. Consequently, and in contrast to other schools, states and their ability to control supranational institutions come to centre state. I shall argue that this literature, though still in its infancy, is poised to shed new light on how the EU really works. |
