This book provides the first in-depth empirical study of the
European Parliament's powers of scrutiny of the executive in the
European Union (EU) political system, focusing on the politically
salient field of the Economic and Monetary Union. The expansion of
executive decision-making during the euro crisis was accompanied by
an empowerment of the European Parliament through legislative
oversight. This book examines how the European Parliament exercises
that oversight on a day-to-day basis and thus contributes to
political accountability at the EU level. Building on an innovative
analytical framework for the study of parliamentary questions and
answers, Adina Akbik sheds light on the European Parliament's
possibilities and limitations to hold EU executive bodies
accountable more generally. Case studies cover the period 2012 to
2019 and include the European Central Bank in banking supervision,
the European Commission, the Eurogroup, and the Economic and
Financial Affairs Council. This title is Open Access.
