Drawing on comparative politics and social network analysis, this book examines how the domestic institutional and organizational settings, as well as the network governance patterns determine variation in administrative responses to EUs Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) in two European Union (EU) member states, Denmark and Greece. Existing studies produced detailed knowledge on specific EU countries, particularly large EU member states in the North, and various policy areas. However, these studies ignored the agricultural policy area and the importance the North-South dimension in understanding Europeanisation of administrative structures. This book aims to fill this gap in the literature. Moreover, by linking the findings of the two cases to the member states that joined the EU in the 2004 fifth enlargement, and in other policy areas, it allows a better understanding of similar responses, either adaptation or inertia. "This book represents an important contribution to the theoretical and empirical literature on Europeanisation and the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). It systematically tackles an under studied question: does Europeanisation of policies lead to administrative change and convergence among the member states?...The analysis proceeds through in-depth comparative historical case studies of Denmark and Greece which uses a sophisticated combination of quantitative and qualitative methodologies...This book should provide a stimulus for further research." --Wyn Grant, University of Warwick "Dr. Chatzopoulou gives us a very accurate image on how differently actors of the agricultural economy, farmers, cooperatives and the administrations both in Greece and Denmark, behave...the author gives us a fair idea of how complex is the process of Europeanisation in a Europe Union composed of sovereign member-States with different history, culture, social organization and different legal systems."--Vaggelis Divaris, Former European Commission principal administrat or (DG Agriculture and Rural Development).
