Data
The Commission and the Integration of Europe
The following two datasets accompany my 2002 book "The Commission and the Integration of Europe" (Cambridge University Press). The data concern the political views of top Commission officials on the role of the European Commission, and the working and future of the European Union. These are unique data collected through personal interviews by myself with 136 senior Commission officials (director-generals, deputy director-generals, directors) between 1995 and 1997. Chapters from the ms. are also accessible on this homepage under the rubric Commission research.
The datasets are SPSS files (version 10.0). Right-click the file, select 'save target/file as,' and then download the file to your hard drive. The files will not load in the browser window; they can only be read from within the SPSS application.
