ADMINISTERING EUROPE

In conditions of political and constitutional uncertainty, administrat ive law requires reassessment. Three analyses of the once neo-liberal EU market (non-majoritarian, deliberative, heterarchical) show how its evolving socialization has resulted in politically pluralist market a dministration. Governmental, EU and private actors all voice their vie ws within this administrative framework, but EC law does not determine which single view is legitimate. EU administration should therefore b e viewed as entailing a complex process of interest accommodation rath er than the simple execution of legislative mandates. Constitutional p rinciples to 'civilize' debate are needed, ensuring that EU market man agement is not dominated by the strongest interest.
