Compliance, Competition and Communication: Different Approaches of European Governance and Their Impact on National Institutions
Abstract
EU institutional change and the potential convergence between countries with the use of a specific change in the mode of governance changes. These models can be divided into the following three: First, the subject of national enforcement authorities legally binding EU regulations; Second, the management system between the different countries meet EU requirements for the competition; Third, the level of cross-border legal or regulatory authorities in the EU communication within the institutional framework. State bureaucracy to make a rational response to the behavior include: continued driving, results-driven and legitimacy drive. Changes in the extent and direction of the country there are some contradictions, that is consistent between political objectives and the actual convergence seems to be an inverse relationship: subject-based policy management, national policy is clearly designed to make the same; and varied relative to the receiving country of the path of struggle and governance in terms of communication, but then the driving force behind the convergence of the domestic system is not so obvious. This analysis focuses on the relationship between supranational regulatory policy and national administrative change. We argue that the potential for change and cress-national convergence vanes with the particular governance pattern employed, namely coercion, competition and communication. We identify the behavioural rationalities that guide the national bureaucratic responses and point to certain paradoxes with regard to the extent and direction of change
