EU-Professionalism: A sociological study of the professionalization of EU expertise.

分项目5的重点是与欧洲一体化进程有关的新的就业和活动领域的出现和巩固，以及欧盟专门知识的制度化和专业化，简言之，就是所谓“欧盟专业人员”的兴起。在第一个资助期进行的研究分析了“欧盟事务”领域的专业活动和教育计划的发展和标准化。基于对波兰和德国的欧盟专业人员的比较研究，可以确定某些特征实践，能力，知识储备和自我形象。项目第二阶段的研究在此寻求资金，其目的是确定欧盟专业人员如何在欧盟资助的项目背景下谈判“欧洲”和“当地”知识储备，以及他们如何影响这些项目的实施，特别是财政资源的分配。除了上述两个国家外，西班牙也将被纳入研究范围，以进一步了解受欧元区危机影响严重的成员国。本研究以欧盟资助的两个选定领域——欧盟凝聚力政策和研究资助“地平线2020”——为例，对资助专家提供的采购和翻译服务以及在这一过程中遇到的明显困难进行了仔细调查。通过关注欧盟资助项目的实践维度，子项目5仔细研究了欧洲当前危机管理战略的核心支柱之一，并从社会学的角度探讨了欧盟政策制定的“技术”实施，特别强调就业和知识。考虑到这些目标，本研究旨在更好地理解欧盟治理日益专业化和专业化所引发的问题和挑战。

Subproject 5 focuses on the emergence and consolidation of new areas of employment and activity as linked to the process of European integration and on the institutionalization and professionalization of EU-expertise, in short the rise of the so-called 'EU professionals'. Research conducted in the first funding period analyzed the development and standardization of professional activities and educational programs in the field of 'EU affairs'. Based on a comparative study of EU professionals in Poland and Germany, certain characteristic practices, competencies, stocks of knowledge, and self-images could be identified.Research in the second project phase, for which funding is sought here, aims to establish how EU professionals negotiate 'European' and 'local' stocks of knowledge in the context of EU-funded projects and how they influence the implementation of such projects, especially the allocation of financial resources. In addition to the aforementioned two countries Spain will be included in the study to also gain further insights about a Member State much affected by the eurozone crisis. Using the example of two selected areas of EU funding ¿ the EU cohesion policy and the research funding 'Horizon 2020' ¿, the study places the procurement and translation services provided by funding specialists as well as the apparent difficulties encountered during this process under close investigation. By focusing on the practical dimension of EU-funded projects, Subproject 5 takes a close look at one of the central pillars of Europe's current crisis management strategy and explores the 'technical' implementation of EU policy-making from a sociological perspective, placing special emphasis on employment and knowledge. With these objectives in mind the study is meant to provide a better understanding of problems and challenges of Europeanization triggered by increasing expertization and professionalization of EU governance.
