Abstract:
This thesis examines legislative decision making in the European Union with a specific
focus upon decision making in the Council of Ministers. It examines the manner in which
member states seek to influence the legislative process at different levels of negotiation within
the Council. The first empirical contribution of the thesis (Chapter 4) has two aims. It first
examines the influence that legislative rules and procedures have upon the legislative process. It
elaborates upon a one-dimensional procedural model of EU politics that explicitly captures the
structure of the legislative game by accounting for the order in which actors move, and the
manner in which the order of the game affects each actor's ability to influence legislative
outputs.
