审视欧洲一体化进程中的治理转型，我们面临着一个难题。成员国已经接受了主权和监管权力的逐步转移。然而，经验证据证明，根据国家偏好制定政策具有相当不受限制的活力。在欧洲的政策制定中，私人利益和公共利益之间的平衡似乎已经转向对后者不利的方向。与此同时，欧洲政体的特性使公共行为者能够逃脱追捕。为了更好地理解治理的转换，采用不同的方法可能会有所帮助。我们感兴趣的不是不同级别政府之间或不同类别行为者之间权力关系的变化，而是治理实践的变化以及对治理的理解的变化。
Abstract Looking at the transformation of governance in the process of European integration confronts us with a puzzle. Member states have accepted an incremental transfer of sovereignty and regulatory power. Empirical evidence, however, gives proof of a rather unrestricted vitality to shape policies according to national preferences. In European policy‐making the balance between private and public interests seems to have shifted to the detriment of the latter. At the same time the very properties of the European polity enable public actors to escape capture. In order to gain a better understanding of the transformation of governance it might be helpful to take a different approach. It is not the change in terms of shifting power relations between different levels of government or between different categories of actors which is of interest, but changes in the practice of governing and the understanding of what governance is about.
