The role of national parliaments in EU matters has become an
important subject in the debate over the democratic legitimacy of
European Union decision-making. Strengthening parliamentary
scrutiny and participation rights at both the domestic and the
European level is often seen as an effective measure to address the
perceived 'democratic deficit' of the EU - the reason for affording
them a prominent place in the newly introduced 'Provisions on
Democratic Principles' of the Union (in particular Article 12 TEU).
Whether this aim can be met, however, depends crucially on the
degree to which, and the manner in which, national parliaments
actually make use of their institutional rights. This volume
therefore aims at providing a comprehensive overview of the
activities of national parliaments in the post-Lisbon Treaty era.
This includes the 'classic' scrutiny of EU legislation, but also
parliamentary involvement in EU foreign policy, the use of new
parliamentary participation rights of the Lisbon Treaty (Early
Warning System), their role regarding the EU's response to the
Eurozone crisis, and the, so far under-researched, role of
parliamentary administrators in scrutiny processes. This book was
originally published as a special issue of West European Politics.
