The European Union (EU) faces pressing demands to act in major policy areas amid publiccontestation of supranational governance. Our interdisciplinary project seeks to explain and facilitate responsive and effective policy reforms by increasing knowledge about the willingness and capacity for EU integration in specific policy areas. We study the conditions under which the EU institutions seek to increase or decrease EU policy competencies, when their positions respond to public demands across and within member states, and under what conditions each institution manages to assert its position in thepolicy-making processes. We further investigate how the institutions’ positions and capacity to steer the course of European integration across policy areas are reshaped by increased EU politicization and associated shifts in institutional identities, internal disunity and switch from formal political to informal technocratic procedures of policy-making. Public opinion surveys, party manifestos and speech data from European and national parliaments will serve to capture citizen, party and government preferences overthe transfer of competences from the national to the EU level across policy areas. We will then examine under what conditions and to what extent these preferences determine the positions of EU institutions, policy proposals and adopted legislation with respect to the level of competence transfer to the EU, using cutting-edge methods for computational text analysis. These findings will serve to develop recommendations about innovation in policy and institutional design that can address pressing challenges and enjoy public acceptance in member states and among their citizens.

欧洲联盟（欧盟）面临着在重大政策领域采取行动的迫切要求，因为超国家治理已经公开化。我们的跨学科项目旨在解释和促进响应和有效的政策改革，通过增加对欧盟一体化的意愿和能力在特定政策领域的知识。我们研究的条件下，欧盟机构寻求增加或减少欧盟的政策能力，当他们的立场响应公众的要求，跨和成员国内部，以及在什么条件下，每个机构管理，以维护自己的立场在thepolicy决策过程。我们进一步研究如何机构的立场和能力，以引导欧洲一体化的过程中跨政策领域的重塑，增加欧盟政治化和相关的转变，在机构身份，内部不团结，从正式的政治转向非正式的技术官僚程序的决策。来自欧洲和各国议会的民意调查、政党宣言和演讲数据将有助于捕捉公民、政党和政府对跨政策领域从国家层面向欧盟层面转移权限的偏好。然后，我们将研究在什么条件下，在何种程度上这些偏好决定欧盟机构，政策建议和通过的立法方面的能力转移到欧盟的水平的立场，使用先进的计算文本分析方法。这些调查结果将有助于制定有关政策和制度设计创新的建议，以应对紧迫的挑战，并在成员国及其公民中获得公众的接受。
