The lecture focuses on executive leadership in the European Union and, specifically, agenda-setting. The supranational executive, the European Commission, has the power to initiate legislation and can prioritise those legislative dossiers which it deems more important in its Work Programmes. On the other hand, while the European Council is formally excluded from the legislative process, several studies have shown that the heads of state and government do influence the legislative negotiations, using their summit conclusions to task the European Commission and put pressure on the co-legislators. Drawing on the findings of one recently concluded and one on-going research project, the lecture will discuss the role and the capacity of the EU executive actors to set the pace of the legislative negotiations and prioritise specific legislative dossiers. In so doing, it will contribute to the classic debate between intergovernmentalism and supranationalism with novel data and will discuss the functioning logic of the EU political system.
SAVE THE DATE! The next Jean Monnet Lecture will take place on December 13, 2022, in HS 1 SoWi.
