The European Parliament in the Contested Union provides a
systematic assessment of the real influence of the European
Parliament (EP) in policy-making. Ten years after the coming into
force of the Treaty of Lisbon, which significantly empowered
Europe's only directly elected institution, the contributions
collected in this volume analyse whether, and under what
conditions, the EP has been able to use its new powers and shape
decisions. Going beyond formal or normative descriptions of the
EP's powers, this book provides an up-to-date and timely empirical
assessment of the role of the EP in the European Union, focusing on
key cases such as the reforms of the EU's economic governance and
asylum policy, the Brexit negotiations and the budget. The book
challenges and qualifies the conventional view that the EP has
become more influential after Lisbon. It shows that the influence
of the EP is conditional on the salience of the negotiated policy
for the Member States. When EU legislation touches upon 'core state
powers', as well as when national financial resources are at stake,
the role of the EP - notwithstanding its formal powers - is more
constrained and its influence more limited. This book provides
fresh light on the impact of the EP and its role in a more
contested and politicised European Union. Bringing together an
international team of top scholars in the field and analysing a
wealth of new evidence, The European Parliament in the Contested
Union challenges conventional explanations on the role of the EP,
tracking down empirically its impact on key policies and processes.
It will be of great interest to scholars of the European Union,
European politics and policy-making. The chapters were originally
published as a special issue of the Journal of European
Integration.
