Abstract
In order to explain why interpretations of policy-making vary so widely, Ahrens extracts four standard EU policy-making features at a meso-level: (in)formal actors’ networks, job rotation, internal division of labour, and asynchronous timing. The chapter discusses the influence of the policy instrument at hand on the composition of formal and informal actors’ networks before exploring the routine job rotation system as a factor for how actors judge policies. Ahrens then addresses the internal division of labour and uncoordinated policy processes as governance characteristics challenging standard gender equality policy processes.
