Progress towards fiscal harmonization in the European Community is selected as the substantive focus for the study, although the object is to learn from the EC rather than about it. The author argues that common EC policies usually reach fruition as complex compromises, derived from decisions based on the perceived effect on domestic politics and rivalries, rather than transnational neatness. Lack of political will is frequently blamed for delays in the acceptance of common policies, whereas the truth often lies in the fact that national governments believe that domestic political costs would be prohibitive. Politicization is studied in four major areas: 1. Identification, causes and effects 2. The effect on domestic politics and transnational cooperation in the EC 3. Effects on further 'European integration' 4. Deriving lessons from the EC for more general relationships between domestic politics and international cooperation."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 606 $aEuropean cooperation 606 $aFiscal policy$zEuropean Economic Community countries 606 $2Business studies: general 615 0$aEuropean cooperation. 615 0$aFiscal policy 676 $a336.3/094 676 $a336.3094 700 $aPuchala$b Donald James$f1939-$0247450 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910965714603321 996 $aFiscal harmonization in the European communities$9621411 997 $aUNINA
