Implementing European Union Public Policy

New Horizons in Public Policy series

罗杰·莱维,mer Professor of Management and Head of Division, Glasgow Caledonian University, UK

This valuable and detailed study provides, for the first time, a systematic empirical analysis of EU programme management in all of the main spending areas over a 20 year period. After setting out the management framework in each area, Roger Levy looks methodically at audit evidence to build up a comprehensive performance profile. The management of EU spending programmes is subject to almost continual media speculation about its propriety and efficiency. The unprecedented resignation of the Santer Commission en masse in March 1999 was a direct result of its management failures. Using up-to-date, original data, this valuable book provides an empirical antidote to much of the speculation which dominates this issue.

‘This study provides a very careful analysis of the European Union spending programmes over the last 20 years.’
