                                                        The European Council under the Lisbon Treaty :
                                                        how has the institution evolved since 2009?

                                                        "On 1 December 2009, with the coming into force of the Treaty
                                                        of Lisbon, the European Council became a formal EU
                                                        institution. Ten years later, the European Council is seen by
                                                        many as representing the centre of gravity of the EU's
                                                        institutional framework. However, was this development purely
                                                        the result of the changes to the Treaties made with Lisbon or
                                                        did it happen naturally over time? This study analyses both the
                                                        formal changes brought about by the Lisbon Treaty and the
                                                        incremental evolution resulting from the institution's day-to-day
                                                        practice, including the European Council's behaviour during
                                                        the various crises of the last decade."
