In Europe, national administrations are part of a larger political order and a multi-level administrative order. In a complex multilevel context of Europeanisation and internationalization, there are several sources of law and potentially conflicting loyalties and accountability lines.
What are the prospects for rationality and legality under these conditions? COMPLEX invites researchers to submit papers that deal with administrative logics and rule of law in multilevel orders. How do agencies/officials practice EU law and why do they sometimes err? Papers that deal with conflicting institutional goals and accountability challenges are welcome.
Possible themes are:
- Legitimacy in multilevel orders
- "Double hatted" administration and role conceptions
- Rule of law in complex European administration
- Modes of administrative rationality
Please submit your paper to project leader Erik Oddvar Eriksen
