1. Negotiations as Usual. Putting Domestic Constraints on the Table in the Council of the European Union
Sammanfattning : The argument developed in this thesis is that negotiations in the Council of the European Union cannot be understood in isolation from the domestic politics of the member states.

Sammanfattning : This study investigates state interaction as a social learning process, where the ultimate aim is to enhance an understanding on how states learn of environmental norms.
