Abstract	:	In this thesis. theories of regional integration. particularlyneofunctionalism and intergovemmentalism. are applied to a case study ofthe shipping sector. Actor behaviour at three levels is explored: nationaland European-level pressure groups. national governments. and ECinstitutions. These actors are constrained or empowered by a range ofvariables at the national. regional. and global levels. and it is the impact ofthese variables on agent behaviour that explains the dependent variable -- outcome of negotiations leading to elements of an EC common shippingpolicy.One variable has not previously been identified in the literaturecapital mobility. It is significant because it alters pressure group power Innegotiations over certain policies. Mobile capital will not accept policieswhich Impose costs if they can be avoided through exit. and this entails amajor limit to integrative possibilities. This limit IS likely to beincreasingly significant as foreign direct investment both into and out ofthe EC grows.
