Theme 2007:‘Administering the Summit’ in Central and East European Countries
The coordinators of the permanent working group on politico-administrative relations selected papers for presentation that analyse the coordination of the ‘summit’ i.e. the leadership of executive power in Central and East European states. The objective is to investigate the organization of the nexus of government and the complex structures and processes in which political and managerial roles become interconnected in the pursuit of effective coordination.
A study of the politico-administrative dynamic at the core executive is important for CEE countries for two reasons. Firstly, new member states have met considerable problems in developing specific devices for channeling national policy priorities in the multi-level structures of the EU policymaking process. This has implied that the role of government bureaucracy has increased sufficiently since effective politico-administrative coordination has acquired a higher priority. Secondly, in nations with more fragile structures of democracy the tendency of bureaucratic capture of political roles and posts and/or in substitution may be observed.  |
