The Changing Topography of EU Administrative Space. Conclusive Remarks
Résumé
The conclusive chapter discusses the result of the empirical cases presented throughout the book, showing that they validate the main thesis of the book, which is as Durkheimian as Weberian in the sense that beyond any issue about the competition for power, one of the transformations has been considerable reinforcement of the ties inside the machine, to the contrary of its potential disintegration. The renewal and adaptations of its various organisational components, a new motivation and engagement from its personnel at various scales, and a capacity to foster new instruments incorporating a relational dimension from the start have finally intensified and densified the administrative terrain of the political-institutional field.
