'This Handbook reveals the interlocking organizational, political and multi-level dimensions of the EU's administrative system. The individual chapters enrich our understanding of its distinctive institutional and behavioral aspects; together, they delimit how this emerging administrative order enhances and limits the EU's role as an autonomous policymaker.'
