Abstract

The European Union (EU) is a political organisation that produces a growing number of public policies and these policies cover virtually most sectoral policy areas. The scope and impact of these policies are important from an economic, political and social perspective in each Member State. That is why the political process that takes place in the EU has increasing relevance in the European public opinion. In the literature, there are many studies on the political process taking place in the political systems of the different Member States. However, it is not easy to find documents and research findings on the political process of the EU in a systematic way. What this Issue brings to literature is a high degree of systematisation of how to analyse the political process of the EU. In particular, the different contributions attempts to find answer to such questions as: Why and how some issues (and not others) are introduced on the European agenda? How to negotiate or formulates a policy; what are the main determinants of the negotiation process; which variables and factors influence the decision-making process of political decisions taken in Brussels or how and how effectively the decisions taken in the EU are implemented in each of the Member States? This will help to have a better and more systematic understanding of the political process of the EU and of each of the phases of that process.
