Politics in the European Commission

Abstract

Politicization is widely believed to have increased in the EU. Research has studied and mapped different dimensions of politicization and has been characterized by an interest to explain why we see (more) of it in the EU. Yes, we know relatively less about the effects of politicization on the EU’s institutions. Focusing on the European Commission we invite papers that look at institutional, attitudinal, and procedural effects of politicization on the EU's bureaucracy. Papers could include – but are not limited to – contributions that revisit theoretical perspectives on the Commission or compare the outgoing Juncker Commission to its predecessors.
