Tracing the roots of the Commission?s decline from the early 1990s through to the Eurozone and refugee crises, Stuart A Brown draws on new evidence to illustrate why the EU?s executive now faces a battle for its future, and asks whether in the reforms of Jean-Claude Juncker the Commission may be facing its last chance. This study will appeal to students and scholars in EU institutions, politics, and public policy. 606 $aEuropean Union 606 $aEurope?Politics and government 606 $aInternational organization 606 $aEuropean Union Politics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911140 606 $aEuropean Politics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911130 606 $aInternational Organization$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912010 615 0$aEuropean Union. 615 0$aEurope?Politics and government. 615 0$aInternational organization. 615 14$aEuropean Union Politics. 615 24$aEuropean Politics. 615 24$aInternational Organization. 676 $a320.94 700 $aBrown$b Stuart A$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0784591 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255304803321 996 $aThe European Commission and Europe's Democratic Process$92503829 997 $aUNINA
