Short CV
PhD in Political Science (European University Institute, Florence), Post-graduate Diploma (Institute for Advanced Studies, Vienna), Magistra Rerum Europae (University of Osnabrück), M.A in Modern European Studies (University of North London)
Eva Heidbreder is visiting fellow in the Kolleg-Forschergruppe The Transformative Power of Europe since October 2008. Her project is embedded in the research cluster on Compliance, Conditionality, and Beyond. From 2004 till 2008 attended at the European University Institute in Florence. Besides attaining her doctoral degree, as from 2006 she worked at the EUI’s Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies as assistant for the Action Committee for European Democracy (so-called ‘Amato Group’). In her PhD thesis, entitled The Impact of Implementing Eastern Enlargement: Changing the European Commission’s Action Capacity, she marries theories of EU integration with theoretical approaches in public policy research in order to investigate in a comparative research based on five qualitative case studies to which extent policy-making in the pre-accession process affected the EU Commission’s steering capacities. Before moving to Italy Eva Heidbreder spent two years at the Institute for Advanced Studies in Vienna and completed a half-year internship at the Institute for Public Administration in Maastricht.

Foundations for a European Administrative Space?
The Transformative Impact of European Ideas on State Administrations
How does European integration affect the EU member states’ administrative systems? Although national administrative systems remain an explicit state competence and are therefore not subject to harmonisation by “Brussels”, the 27 member states’ administrations are in multiple ways affected by new ideas that emerge in the context of EU integration. On the one hand, states need to implement and comply with EU law. On the other hand, shared ideas on administrative organisation and functioning have emerged. In order to structure the analysis, a typology of different channels through which European ideas influence national public services is introduced. Each type is underpinned by a particular set of ideas that imply different logics and thus entail different mechanisms of diffusing ideas that affect national public administrations. The empirical study is to analyse the effect of the four types on a chosen number of member states to answer the following questions: Which ideas on public administrations have emerged within the EU? How much have different classes of administrative systems changed in response to each type of European ideas? How do different types of ideas trigger change on the member state level? And thus, how are different kinds of ideas relating to public administrations diffused?
