title = {‘Doing Less More Efficiently’, or How Relevant the Enduring Principle of Subsidiarity is For the Current Debate on EU Reform},
year = {2018},
note = {This article explores the likelihood of the ‘Doing less more
efficiently’ scenario in Jean-Claude Juncker’s “White Paper on
the Future of Europe” being applied for the reform of the European
Union. Given the close association of this scenario with the principle
of subsidiarity, the aim is to uncover how a principle that lay at the
heart of all major decisions on European integration could maintain
its sustained appropriateness in the never-ending debate on the EU’s
future. After identifying the main shortcomings of applying the
principle of subsidiarity in a political setup characterized by
increased politicization, slow decision-making and an entrenched need
to find the lowest common denominator, the most recent attempts for
its adjustment will be placed under scrutiny. Assuming that with the
spread of the integration process to the area of core state powers,
subsidiarity has already suffered a series of transformations, the
research will be oriented towards the identification of the most
recent efforts aimed at its fine-tuning to the present context and to
the investigation of its resources, so as to keep providing useful
solutions to the current EU problems.},
