EU Governance
In the framework of the European Governance project “Divide et compromise : the quest for an improved European Governance”, the CGSRS has launched a collection of interviews with European actors – from different political sensitivities and different European institutions- to gather their vision of a reform of European governance given the deep cleavages that have progressively undermined the decision-making capacity of the EU.
In terms of methodology, as primary sources of the European governance, the interviews are semi-structured and the questionnaires are not identical. Some core questions on cleavages in the main thematic and geographic axis of the project are common. The other questions take into consideration the specificity of the interviewees’functions. Whenever the interview has been conducted in another language than English, both the original and the translated version by the interviewer) are published. It should also be mentioned that for both/either interviewees’ personal reasons and/or lack of time, some questions were not answered but the CGSRS has decided to publish only the answered questions.
