This chapter draws on historical institutionalism and offers an account of the process that has led to the establishment of the EU’s new interinstitutional ethics body. It then discusses the potential implications of this development for the future of the EU’s ethics system. Its central argument is that—although we cannot, as yet, speak of a change of path—the establishment of this body appears to bear the hallmarks of incremental change displaying some of incrementalism’s central features (Braybrooke and Lindblom, 1963). Secondly, it is argued that, despite its timid nature, in the medium term this reform may well prove that the ‘Qatargate’ scandal was, in fact, a critical juncture.

摘要

This chapter draws on historical institutionalism and offers an account of the process that has led to the establishment of the EU’s new interinstitutional ethics body. It then discusses the potential implications of this development for the future of the EU’s ethics system. Its central argument is that—although we cannot, as yet, speak of a change of path—the establishment of this body appears to bear the hallmarks of incremental change displaying some of incrementalism’s central features (Braybrooke and Lindblom, 1963). Secondly, it is argued that, despite its timid nature, in the medium term this reform may well prove that the ‘Qatargate’ scandal was, in fact, a critical juncture.
