Abstract

This chapter aims to situate the von der Leyen Commission historically and comparatively. As well as providing a provisional performance of the administration at mid-term, it assesses what the appointment and achivements of Ursula von der Leyen as a non-Spitzenkandidat demonstrates about the institutionalisation of presidentialised and personalised leadership of the Commission.
