This special issue examines why the European Union has struggled to reduce its regulatory complexity despite decades of simplification initiatives. Rather than treating simplification as a technical problem, the call frames it as a fundamentally political process involving conflicting interests, competing values, and strategic actors. The issue seeks to understand the gap between EU commitments to simplification and their limited concrete results.

The special issue invites research across three dimensions: the actors involved in promoting or resisting simplification and how they form coalitions; the institutional processes and mechanisms through which simplification efforts unfold; and the actual outcomes and conditions under which simplification succeeds, fails, or produces unintended consequences. Research employing qualitative, quantitative, mixed-methods, or computational approaches is welcome, and submissions from early-career researchers are particularly encouraged.

Potential topics

  • Who promotes or resists simplification, and why?
  • How do distributional conflicts and coalitions shape simplification efforts?
  • How is simplification politicised across institutional and societal arenas?
  • How do simplification efforts unfold within EU institutions?
  • Why do political commitments to simplification rarely translate into legislative change?
  • What role do Better Regulation instruments (e.g. impact assessments, Regulatory Scrutiny Board, REFIT, omnibus packages) play in shaping simplification?
  • Under what conditions does simplification lead to actual rule reduction?
  • Under what conditions does simplification result in symbolic reform, or even an expansion of rules?
  • How can the outcomes of simplification be measured systematically?
