Policy Learning in Greece and Southern Europe The Case of EU Soft Law – PDF/EPUB Version Downloadable

Drawing on empirical evidence from Greece, Spain and Italy in the context of EU soft law, it demonstrates how administrative, political and institutional conditions can act as obstacles for learning.
