Question

Why did delegation to Europe fail ?

Answer 1

$\huge\red{\underline{\overline{\mathbb{√\ηsωεя:-}}}}$

Delegation of powers to supranational institutions, once a hallmark of European

integration, is increasingly contested by national leaders as well as by the public

opinion. At the same time, recent developments suggest that in turbulent times, the

technique remains widely used. This article purports to explain this apparent

paradox. It proposes a reading of the principal-agent principles that takes into

account specificities of the EU system, such as the absence of a strong centre of

power or the significant degree of mistrust that may exist among national

governments. It argues that the competition between multiple principals may

ultimately result in different models of delegation.
