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. "--$$cProvided by publisher. 000798364 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (viewed September 14, 2017). 000798364 650_0 $$aCivil service$$zEuropean Union countries. 000798364 651_0 $$aEurope$$xSocial conditions$$y21st century. 000798364 852__ $$bebk 000798364 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-51792-6$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000798364 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:798364$$pGLOBAL_SET 000798364 980__ $$aEBOOK 000798364 980__ $$aBIB 000798364 982__ $$aEbook 000798364 983__ $$aOnline 000798364 994__ $$a92$$bISE
