| Summary: | The EU’s multiannual budget is generally
assumed to be marked by policy stability over its
seven-year duration. This paper analyses how
change and stability have affected EU budget
policy during the current 2007-13 period. The
theories of incrementalism and advocacy
coalition framework are applied to conceptualise
policy change. It is argued that overall the budget
is marked by stability but changes were seen
within and across specific policies leading to
three revisions of the MFF during the Barroso I
Commission. These changes and the new
institutional provisions of the Lisbon Treaty may
hold interesting projections for the next multiannual
budget period starting in 2014. |
