ISSUES
The irrestible rise of belief in treaty change
1986 : Single European Act1991 : Maastricht Treaty 2007 : Lisbon Treaty
The desirability of tyding up informal change
“the intra-European politics of 1989-91 were crucial in determining the exact shape and timing of the Treaty, and such politics could not but be influenced by the end of the Cold War and the transformation of Germany” Informal changes : - Growth of Council power, - Emergence of the European Council as the Community’s most senior decision making body, - Direct election of the European Parliament
The need for institutional innovation:
During the 80s, the cooperation between member states intensified → desire to deepen integration. The institutions in place (Council of Ministers and the European Commission) were perceived as inadequate to manage more complex common policies. Member states’ goal: more integrated and democratic Europe Single European Act (SEA) of 1986 Good example of this effective institutional innovation: the Delors Commission

CRITICS
