Politico-administrative relations within the framework of OMC processes : comparing policy sectors in Slovenia

Fink-Hafner, Danica (author), Lajh, Damjan (author)

The paper studies the politico-administrative relations within the framework of OMC reception processes at the national level in Slovenia. In order to identify domestic variations within the politicoadministrative relations, we compare four policy sectors. Our main findings are: 1) whilst EU-specialised civil servants participate in OMC governance processes at the EU level, politicians at home represent the final gatekeepers who decide whether to put OMC related policies / policy alternatives on the national policy agenda; and 2) that policy sectors which are less ideologically-politically burdened allow civil servants more room for autonomous initiative in the national OMC reception.
