Description
Summary:Debates on governance have been under way simultaneously in the European Union and, in the context of devolution, the UK. Twice as many responses were made by UK actors to the EU debate as from any other member state. Whilst there are many similarities between basic understandings of governance shown between the European Commission and UK actors there are conspicuous inconsistencies between these and responses from other member states. This article addresses the question of how different national conceptions of governance are helping to shape the debate in the EU.
