VL IB: European Policy Making

Analyzing European Governance

What are reasons for path dependencies fostering a loss of Member State control in HI?

1. Their member governments tend to be preoccupied with short-term consequences of their decisions
2. Supranational institutions can take on an autnomous role
3. Growth of issue density at the European level can lead to unintended consequences due to interdependencies
4. Member states' policy preferences are unstable (e.g. due to elections)
