      title = {European civil service in (times of) crisis : a political  sociology of the changing power of Eurocrats /},
      abstract = {"This book, part of the new wave of political sociology in  EU studies, examines the dialectics of  construction/deconstruction of the European civil service  through a succession of empirically grounded case studies.  Breaking with the usual representations of ‘Eurocrats’,  it sheds light on a hidden aspect of the current European  crisis: a crisis of social reproduction which affects the  European civil service in a heavy context of management  reforms, enlargements, institutional changes and the euro  crisis. This in turn has a number of consequences in terms  of internal tensions, power, and more broadly, the capacity  of EU institutions to create convergence between diverging  national and economic interests, and to embody a European  future.European Civil Service in (Times of) Crisis will be  of interest to students and scholars across a wide range of  disciplines, including politics, sociology and public  administration, to practitioners working in and with the  EU institutions, as well as those wishing to know more  about the EU. "--},
