Summary

Policy-Making and Diversity in Europe examines the European Union and its policy-making processes, asking how an institution which is so riddled with veto points manages to produce policy. Héritier argues that the existence of creative informal strategies and policy-making patterns (termed by the author 'subterfuge') prevent political impasses and 'make Europe work'.
