“…While the heterogeneity of preferences between member states within a collective principal has been increasingly taken into account in principal-agent studies of the EU (Dehousse 2008;Dür and Elsig 2011;Delreux 2008) and other international organizations (Nielson and Tierney 2003;Copelovitch 2010), individual member states are still primarily treated as unitary actors.
