Introduction: the many faces of the European Council -- Multiple approaches for understanding a contested institution: three models -- Pre-history: the birth of institutionalized summitry -- History: generations of leaders and the institutional trajectory -- Political and procedural leadership: general functions and specific powers -- Towards a new institutional balance? Trends in inter-institutional relations -- The Presidency: charismatic master or facilitating manager? -- Rules for organisation: the search for an optimal institutional arrangement -- Decision-making: the ways to consensus formation -- Decision-making: the power dimension -- Deepening: the constitutional architect -- Widening: the master of enlargement -- Economic governance: towards a 'gouvernement économique'? -- External action: in search of a coherent and effective global role -- The area of freedom, security and justice: pre-constitutional and pre-legislative functions -- The European Council: looking back to look forward.

Summary: "This systematic assessment of the -often opaque- European Council looks at its nature and function, as well as its impact on EU supranational and intergovernmental goals. Taking account of both historical and contemporary developments up to and beyond the Lisbon Treaty, it encourages in-depth understanding in light of key theoretical debates"-- Provided by publisher.
