Abstract

From a political science perspective, my paper, as a summary of the stand of my PhD project, focuses on the impact of the institutional design on the negotiation of the financial framework 2007-2013. Using a neo-institutional approach, I concentrate on the analysis of actor’s behaviour during the negotiation process, with special emphasis on the behaviour of new member states, as new actors in this process. My hypotheses is: Although the general view is that it is the member states’ national interests that define their behaviour in financial negotiations, I argue that we can also detect several institutional variables at the European level which determined actor’s behaviour during the negotiation.
