Abstract

[From the Introduction]. The objective of the state of the art report is to provide an overview of the state of knowledge in each of the subprojects and to sketch briefly how the research to be carried out will complement and contribute to this body of knowledge. Since there has been very little research on the objects of the subprojects on Parliament, Council and comitology, their reports are relatively brief. It is an entirely different story with the theoretical project on legitimacy and EU-committees, where the authors have tried to focus on the key issues, referring only to publications that are most relevant for our research. The subject matter could easily fill a book. Table of Contents: 1. General Introduction; 2. Subproject 1: The Standing Committees in the European Parliament, by Christine Neuhold; 3. Subproject 2: Committees and Working Parties in the Council; 4. Subproject 3: Policy Implementation and Comitology Committees, by Günther F. Schäfer, Georg Haibach and Alexander Türk; 5. Subproject 4: The Committee System, Legitimacy, Citizen’s perceptions and Acceptance of the EU-system of Governance, by Torbjörn Larsson and Andreas Maurer.
