Acknowledgements -- List of abbreviations -- Introduction -- Structure, culture, and management: the status quo ante -- The European Commission and the process of enlargement -- The Kinnock reforms : preparing for enlargement, changing culture? -- The outsiders come in : self-selection, selection, and socialization of entry-level staff -- Fitting in or standing out? : the arrival of managers from the new member states -- Nationality : why it matters less than expected -- Gender : why it matters more than expected -- Language, culture, and management : the impact of enlargement on language use in the commission -- Conclusions -- Bibliography.

Carolyn Ban breaks new ground by analyzing the European Commission from a public management perspective. Based on extensive interviews conducted over six years, it explores how the European Commission faced the challenge of enlargement, how it recruited and socialized thousands of new staff members, and its success in integrating newcomers. It argues that nationality was less important in understanding the newcomers than expected and, conversely, that gender was more important than expected, as one of the major effects of enlargement was to shift the organization's gender balance. It includes an analysis of language use and language politics as an important part of organizational culture. The work provides a lively and readable picture of life within the Commission. Melding management with sociology, anthropology, and linguistics, contributes to the growing literature on international organizations. It will be of interest to scholars, practitioners, students, and to those who hope to pursue international careers.
