SPP 1023: Regieren in der Europäischen Union

优先方案“欧洲联盟的治理”分析了欧洲多层次体系内治理的转变。尽管缺乏政府，但欧盟在某种意义上得到了治理，即集体具有约束力的决定得到通过和实施。然而，没有政府的治理将被标记为不同的结构和过程，甚至将产生不同于传统国家体系内的治理的结果。与此同时，通过将公共责任移交给欧盟，成员国内部的治理也发生了变化。这不仅关系到国家能力的削弱，因为政策的欧洲化既可以降低也可以提高国家在有效解决问题方面的能力，而且还可能对欧洲民主进行质的转变。研究方案分析了欧盟内部经济、政治和法律一体化对欧洲和国家一级治理的影响。因此，研究集中在三个问题上：1.新的治理体系出现了哪些结构性特征？(结构层面)；2.治理过程如何转变？(过程维度)；3.政策实质上的哪些变化与新的治理条件有关？(政策层面)。研究方案所涵盖的项目明确涉及结构、进程和政策之间的相互作用，并在理论上反映了这种相互作用。除理论和经验分析外，该方案还旨在对欧洲多层次体系内的各种治理选择进行规范性评价。

The priority programme "Governance in the European Union" analyses the transformation of governance within the European multi-level system. Despite the lack of government the EU is governed in the sense that collectively binding decisions are adopted and implemented. However, governance without government will be marked - so the hypothesis - by different structures and processes and will even produce different outcomes than governance within traditional state systems. At the same time governance within the member states is also transformed by the transfer of public responsibilities to the EU. This concerns not only the erosion of state capacity, as the Europeanization of policies can reduce as well as increase state capacity in terms of efficient problem-solving, but rather a possible qualitative transformation of European democracies.The research programme analyses the consequences that result from economic, political and legal integration within the EU for governance on the European and the national level. Research thereby focuses on three questions: 1. What structural characteristics emerge within the new governance system? (structural dimension); 2. How is the governance process transformed? (process dimension); 3. What changes in policy substance are related to the new governance conditions? (policy dimension). The research programme covers projects that address explicitly the interplay between structures, processes and policies and reflect the interaction theoretically. Besides the theoretical and empirical analysis the programme also aims at a normative evaluation of the various options of governance within the European multi-level system.
