COBISS.SI-ID: 32533805This paper explores the extent to which biographical narratives can be used to shed light on policy making within an expanded European Union by focusing on the narratives and experiences of Slovene Eurocrats as social actors directly involved in the everyday practices of policymaking. We also focus on their narrated experiences of professional formation and the ways in which Slovene Eurocrats employ culturally constructed understandings of knowledge, expertise and professionalism as important sites for identity construction in a transnational working environment.
