To accomplish this goal, survey questions were selected, and data analyzed to discover the transparency of the Commission’s finding. The theoretical frameworks used in this process of analysis are Neofunctionalism and Liberal Intergovernmentalism. These theories provide a broad cross-section for the sake of comparison. Moreover, it addresses the issue of how democratic, i.e. open to everyone, the process truly is. The data is interesting as it sees looks for whether or not there is a relationship between stakeholders and regions with regards to preferences. (Less)
