    Abstract

    According to the policy network perspective on European integration the Commission's legal monopoly to propose new legislation is among its most powerful tools. Paradoxically, however, how legislative drafting is actually initiated and organized, and in what ways it influences the negotiations in the Council is 'virgin soil' within this approach. Hence, there is a general lack of systematic knowledge concerning who takes what initiatives, on what conditions and with what effects. The paper aims at contributing to a theoretical understanding of this uncultivated field of research by suggesting a methodology, or point of observation, referred to as 'negotiated orders' in which the gradual and interactive articulation, selection, and stabilizing of political ideals frame the processes of initiating legislative drafting, simultaneously enabling and constraining the possibilities of politicization in subsequent Council negotiations.
