dc.description.abstractIn the multilevel Administrative System of the European Union, the deliberation, consultation, and exchange of best practices on EU-wide policies is conducted through networks of national regulatory authorities. These European Regulatory Networks (ERNs) take an intermediate position between National Regulatory Agencies (NRAs) and the main European Institutions. Using the recently formulated Orchestration Theory, this study examines the evolution of the organizational autonomy of ERNs through the comparison of a multidimensional construct of formal and actual autonomy. Furthermore five explanatory hypotheses are tested. The study includes four ERNs as units of analysis: CEER, EPRA, BEREC, and the ERGP. In all, it is found that the organizational autonomy of ERNs evolves to a modest extent. Furthermore, three out of five explanatory variables were corroborated. ERN network centrality, lack of ex ante controls, and the ERN’s network importance are related to higher levels of organizational development. The role of executives’ entrepreneurial behavior remained inconclusive and is open to further research.en_US
