European Union Public Policy Professor John Wilton Lecture 3 Agenda-Setting 2: fragmentation and the absence of effective policy co-ordination

European Union Public Policy Lecture 3 Four areas of the agenda-setting process in EU Public Policy influenced by the features of E.U. institutions: 1.Fragmentation 2.Absence of effective policy co-ordination; 3.Proto-Federalism; 4.‘Winners and losers’

European Union Public Policy Lecture 3 1. Fragmentation a) the ‘barrier’ (the EU Commission) b) opportunities – many ‘avenues’ and ‘ways in’ to the agenda-setting process

European Union Public Policy Lecture 3 1. Fragmentation of EU Public Policy agenda-setting – due to: a) the role, ambitions and interests of EU Commissioners; b) the role, ambitions and interests of Director-Generals; c) the blurred boundaries and responsibilities of Director-Generals; d) the interests of the Member States in the Council of Ministers; e) The European Parliament ‘shadow committees’ f) The E.U. court system.

European Union Public Policy Lecture 3 2. The absence of effective Public Policy co-ordination a) lack of political party cohesion; b) the influence of national policy styles and ‘policy’ cultures - an ‘institutionalisation’ problem

European Union Public Policy Lecture 3 2. The absence of effective Public Policy co-ordination a)A lack of cohesive political party units at EU level; b)The variety of national styles and cultures found in E.U. Commissioners; c)The variety of national styles and cultures found in the Director-Generals; d)The lack of institutionalisation of the EU policy bureaucracy

European Union Public Policy Lecture 3 3. Proto-Federalism - a divided territorial structure influences pattern of agenda-setting - regional government structure developed = more territorial institutional EU bodies for individuals and groups to push and argue own public policy agenda

European Union Public Policy Lecture 3 3. Proto-Federalism - agenda-setting as also about definition of issue (i.e. how issue defined once it makes it on to the agenda) - public policy issues shaped through complex social and political processes and influences (different national policy styles and cultures)

European Union Public Policy Lecture 3 3. Proto-Federalism a)Divided territorial structure of E.U. (including Regional govt.) provides multi-access to public policy agenda – fragmentation or diversity? b)Variety of ‘national’ public policy styles provide an agenda of range of public policy alternatives

European Union Public Policy Lecture 3 4. ‘Winners and losers’ - EU institutions create ‘winners and losers’ in EU public policy agenda-setting. - ‘distributive’ policies more easily accepted on to public policy agenda = ‘winners’ - policies that advantage groups, regions or states at expense of others in E.U. are more difficult to get accepted on to public policy agenda = ‘losers’

European Union Public Policy Lecture 3 Summary: 1.The fragmentation of E.U. institutions and diverse territorial representation offers many different points of access to the public policy agenda – provides a range of public policy alternatives and issues competing to get on agenda 2. Variation and range of points of access (fragmentation) in E.U. public policy agenda- setting is totally opposite to E.U. public policy implementation process
