Recenzii

"This work represents an important contribution in several...In line with Abélès and Bellier´s study of the culture of compromise at the Commission, this book offers a description of this institution drawing on political anthropology, which fills a gap in recent studies. Management and Culture in an Enlarged European Commission is based on impressive efforts at data collection: over six years, from 2006 to 2012, Carolyn Ban conducted about 140 semi-structured interviews with EU officials in Brussels and 91 semi-structured interviews with managers inside the governments of six new member states... The fact that she conducted the interviews by herself contributes appreciably to the quality of the collected information."
