AB - The Principal-Agent approach guides a comparison of the scrutiny andimplementation records of the EU member states. The main argumentis that there is systematic co-variation. Cross-nationally, an influentialscrutiny process is associated with a strong implementation record. Butbecause both of these variables also co-vary with the North-South dimensionof EU politics, a fundamental challenge for future research is to evaluatethe importance of existing between-country variation relative to the newPrincipal-Agent relationships that are emerging within the integration process.
