It identifies the theoretical underpinnings and characteristics of each governance system and examines how these ensure public safety, social welfare, sustainability, and economic competitiveness.\n\nLeading experts in the field explore how policy domains, institutions and instruments have evolved, and assess the levels of policy competence between the EU and its member states. They analyse how the transformation of EU governance has been influenced by security threats and economic disequlibria that endanger individual civil liberties and prosperity. The Handbook also provides useful insight into the prevalence of multilevel governance .
