year = {2019},
note = {EU agencies play an important role in shaping European policies. This
is also reflected in the academic discourse, which in recent years has
scrutinised a wide variety of aspects of EU agencies - in different
ways. This article assesses the current, emerging state of political
science research on EU agencies. It is a burgeoning field addressing
questions of the emergence, role and function of European agencies as
well as their integration into existing institutional structures: What
are EU agencies; since when and why have they existed; how are they
structured; how do they finance themselves; how do they relate to
other EU institutions and national authorities? This article offers a
descriptive overview of each of these topics to assess more
exhaustively the current state of research and apparent research gaps.
Eventual- ly, the analysis shows that existing research does not
always correspond to the actual policy-making influence of respective
EU agencies.},
