'SUPRANATIONALISM' IN QUESTION: BELIEFS, VALUES, AND THE SOCIALIZING POWER OF THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION REVISITED
In: Public administration: an international journal, Band 94, Heft 3, S. 717-737
ISSN: 1467-9299
Do international organizations affect the views of the people who work for them? Although increasingly sophisticated methods have been used to address this question, disagreement persists about whether the beliefs of staff are formed before they join, after they enter the institution, or are shaped by instrumental calculation. Drawing on an original dataset based on the first fully representative survey of the European Commission's workforce, this article breaks new ground by putting different definitions of 'supranationalism' to the test and by capturing multiple ways in which individuals may be affected by the experience of working for the organization. For the first time, it demonstrates that commitment to 'supranationalism' varies between Commission staff groupings, that the influences on belief vary with the measure of 'supranationalism' used, and that both post‐recruitment experience and pre‐recruitment roles play a part in shaping beliefs.

Creative Entrepreneurs: Dual Identities, Multiple Needs
In: Journal of enterprising culture: JEC, S. 1-23
ISSN: 0218-4958
This research explores the lived experiences of entrepreneurs from the creative industries, focusing on their interactions with support agencies. We examine the support that creative entrepreneurs use to assist them in achieving financially stable, sustainable, and personally fulfilling careers. The research involved an extensive literature review, followed by interviews with selected creative entrepreneurs and representatives from support agencies. The analytical framework was a qualitative approach using an interpretive philosophy, exploring the lived experience of the creative entrepreneur. The data were analysed using thematic analysis. The findings reveal the presence of dual identities: the creative and the entrepreneur. Funding and support are aimed at entrepreneurs who are focused on high turnover and employment creation. This is often in contrast to the motivations and ambitions of the creative entrepreneur. This research enhances the existing literature on entrepreneurship, the creative industries, and entrepreneurial support structures. It informs best practices in the design of support to creative entrepreneurs and is of use to entrepreneurs, support agencies, sponsors and academics.

Cross Country Differences in Trust in Television and the Governance of Public Broadcasters
In: Kyklos: international review for social sciences, Band 60, Heft 1, S. 3-14
ISSN: 1467-6435
SUMMARYThis paper offers an explanation of European cross country differences in the trust enjoyed by television. Our argument turns on the way that, while there is significant public ownership of television in all countries (so that trust in broadcasting as a whole is bound to depend importantly on trust in public broadcasters), the extent of independence of these public broadcasters from government varies across countries and this affects their trustworthiness. Trust in television matters not only because of the special influence that television plays in the political system but also because there is evidence that trust in institutions directly contributes to individuals' subjective well‐being.
The quiet transformation of the EU Commission cabinet system

The quiet transformation of the EU Commission cabinet system
Although cabinets in the European Commission have attracted considerable interest, scholarly attention has mainly focused on their composition and influence. How the status of cabinets or the relations between them have changed over time, and how cabinets have been affected by changes to the wider institutional environment, has gone largely unexamined. This article takes a step towards filling that gap. It argues that, despite apparent stability in the functions that cabinets perform, the cabinet system has undergone a quiet transformation. A new differentiation has created hierarchical relations within the cabinet system, with implications for policy coordination and output. Using historical institutionalist theory, the article shows that Commission cabinets have been affected less by reforms addressed directly at them and more by internal rule change aimed at other parts of their institutional environment.

Des bureaucraties poreuses ? Les interactions de la commission européenne et du secrétariat du conseil avec leur environnement, et leur influence sur leurs préférences en termes de gouvernance
In: Revue française d'administration publique, Band 181, Heft 1, S. 41-64
Les institutions européennes et les personnes qui travaillent pour elles sont souvent considérées comme repliées sur elles-mêmes et leurs ambitions : la Commission européenne est dépeinte comme une technocratie distante, et le Secrétariat du Conseil est considéré comme secret et renfermé. Cet article soumet ces hypothèses à un test empirique et va à leur encontre. S'appuyant sur deux jeux de données originaux, il cartographie les pratiques d'interaction avec les acteurs extérieurs pour ces deux parties de l'administration de l'UE. Il montre non seulement que la Commission européenne et le Secrétariat du Conseil sont en contact permanent avec des acteurs extérieurs, mais aussi que leurs préférences en termes de gouvernance sont affectées par ces contacts, quoique dans des mesures différentes.
Legitimacy crises and the temporal dynamics of bureaucratic representation
In: Governance: an international journal of policy and administration, Band 35, Heft 1, S. 65-82
ISSN: 1468-0491
AbstractThe representation of specific groups and social interests within (or by) the civil service has long been a concern of public administration scholarship. Yet, much of this literature focuses on representation at a single point in time. In this article, we propose a more dynamic perspective. In terms of theory, we postulate specific temporal relationships between triggering cues (e.g., a crisis event) and the representation decisions of civil servants. We specify two complementary mechanisms underlying these relationships: that is, a sensemaking process whereby the perceived meaning and relative salience of distinct groups and interests changes over time; and a shift in bureaucrats' discretion to represent specific groups or interests changes over time. We illustrate these time‐dependent processes using interview and survey data from the European Commission.
