Summary
The starting point of this study was to investigate the impact of European policies on national administrations. To what extent can we expect administrative change at the national level in order to comply with European policy demands and to what extent does domestic change lead to administrative convergence across member states? How can the observed patterns of administrative transformation be explained? In addressing these questions, the purpose of this concluding part is twofold, namely, to illustrate our theoretical and analytical considerations from a comparative perspective and to assess the extent to which these considerations can be generalised.
