EU Presidencies between Politics and Administration: The governmentality of the Polish, Danish and Cypriot Trio Presidency in 2011-2012

Mads Dagnis Jensen, Peter Nedergaard

Abstract

This book offers the first comprehensive analysis since the Lisbon Treaty came
into force of the EU Presidency on national administrations in the member states
of Poland, Denmark and Cyprus before, during and after the so- called ‘Trio
Presidency’. Placing the practical issues facing officials and policy- makers into
a ‘governmentality’ framework, it analyses the impact on the daily activities of
bureaucrats and ministers.

The book utilises comprehensive and novel empirical materials, including
around 100 interviews with key officials, documentary sources and academic literature.

It uncovers the kind of negotiations, management and coordination triggered
by the immense challenge of presiding over the EU – including being a part
of a Trio.
