Omschrijving

This book examines the political dynamics and complexities of the European Council at a time of seemingly chronic crisis and rapid political change. Providing insight into the everyday workings of this critically important EU institution, it covers: why the European Council matters; its roles and responsibilities; its impact on the EU over time, including in response to the Russian War and the COVID-19 pandemic; and the role that the European Council might play in the EU's uncertain future. Including pedagogical features such as boxes, tables and graphics to help study and revision, the book also covers under-researched areas such as:

- The relationship and rivalry of the European Council President and the European Commission President
- The role of European political parties in summits and debates
- Communication around the European council, including the use of social media, doorstops, and press briefings
- The background of members of the European Council
- How national coalition government affects leaders' participation in the European Council
- The involvement of the European Council in the EU policy cycle
- The changing nature and political significance of European Council meetings and conclusions

Designed for students of the EU, comparative European politics and international relations, this book is a concise introduction to the EU's collective leadership body, its key office holders, and its relation to member states.
