Dr Simona Milio holds a PhD in European Studies from LSE. Currently she is finalising a book which will be published by I.B.Tauris. This explores potential reasons for deficiencies in implementation across the EU and asks why Member States have difficulties implementing EU policies. Public policy and planning although important are little more than statements of intent, whereas implementation is the crucial subsequent step of policy cycles, enabling a realisation of ideas and outcome. In the EU it has become apparent that there is a clear gap between EU level policymaking and Member State implementation. This book argues a shift in focus to policy implementation since this constitutes a crucial common pathway that determines whether a policy is effective or not. I argue that deficiencies in implementation reflect some of the problems created by the multi-level structure of European policy making.
Future research aims also include the investigation of: (1) The consequences of Europeanisation on regional/national assets, with a specific focus on public administrations; (2) The role of public administrations in enabling the transition from EU policy making to policy implementation; (3) The role of politics in institutional and administrative capacity building, given a multi-level framework of governance.
