Project description
This study examines decionmaking processes of the Directorate-General Communication of the European Commission from a Principal Agent perspective. The analysis focuses on the level of autonomy this DG has in its policy- and decisionmaking and in what way the powerrelations between this DG and other actors, such as the European Parliament and the memberstates, influence this autonomy.
