@article{2016:kaiser:in_der_rea, title = {In der Realität angekommen: Warum die EU mit ihrem Mehrjährigen Finanzrahmen an einer zukunftsorientierten Wachstumspolitik gescheitert ist}, year = {2016}, note = {The current Multiannual Financial Framework of the European Union (2014-2020) is the first budget in the history of European integration that is characterized by a decline of the overall financial resources compared to its predecessor. Notably, it still fails to provide a strong focus on a future-oriented growth policy. Against this background, the article analyses why a substantial reform of the EU budget did not take place and what leeway for change exists in view of the upcoming mid-term review of the Financial Framework. We argue that under the situation of a shift from “normal” to “crisis politics” both old and new institutional obstacles had an impact on the outcome of the negotiation process, and those obstacles are likely to be effective in the foreseeable future.}, journal = {integration}, pages = {304--318}, author = {Kaiser, Robert and Prange-Gstöhl, Heiko}, volume = {39}, number = {4} }
