Project description

This research makes an analysis of the decision-making dynamics behind European trade policy (more specifically towards developing countries) in the periods 1970-1975 and 2000-2005. This policy was established and reshaped in a period characterized by a malaise for European integration. An overview of the decision-making dynamics gives insight into the more fundamental motives behind the European integration process.
