Now Published: "People Building Europe: New Developments in EU Personnel and Professionals Studies"

We are pleased to highlight the publication of "People Building Europe: New Developments in EU Personnel and Professionals Studies", a new volume co-edited by our Academic Coordinator Didier GEORGAKAKIS and Visiting Professor Martin WESTLAKE.

The publication offers a timely and significant contribution to the study of European integration by shifting the focus from institutions as abstract structures to the individuals who make them function. It examines the professionals, officials, and other actors engaged in the European Union’s institutional and governance processes, placing the human dimension of European integration at the centre of analysis.

Bringing together original data, diverse methodologies, and a wide range of case studies, the volume reflects the richness and dynamism of the growing field of EU personnel and professional studies. It provides an overview of recent developments in this area and highlights the variety of approaches through which scholars are analysing those who shape, interpret, and implement the European project from within.

With contributions spanning different generations, nationalities, institutional affiliations, and geographical contexts, the volume offers both a major scholarly contribution and an essential resource for anyone seeking to better understand the human architecture of European governance!
