In order to better understand the Swedish Presidency of the European
Union, SIEPS invited a number of experts on the European Union from
different member states. They were asked to write short analytical
texts on how the Presidency has succeeded in relation to expectations
and ambitions. The judgments are however provisional as they cover the
developments up until November 2009. SIEPS’ researchers Fredrik Langdal
and Göran von Sydow have edited the volume and written an introduction
to the texts. The publication The Swedish Presidency: European
Perspectives is part of an on-going project where SIEPS analyses the
rotating presidency of the EU.
The contributors highlight the handling of the Lisbon Treaty and the
institutional questions and underline the importance of the outcome of
the climate change negotiations in Copenhagen for the legacy of the
Presidency.
