'In a period marked by nationalism and populism, the relevance of
the roles played by parliaments is sometimes underestimated and
rather deserves greater attention. The book edited by Raube,
Wouters and Muftuler-Bac gathers a group of leading scholars in the
field of parliamentary studies and contributes to bridge a gap in a
very sensitive policy field, that is to say the external relations
of the European Union. A wide list of approaches and theoretical
and empirical investigations demonstrates that, despite the
dominant influence of the executive branches of government, not
only networking of parliaments has enlarged, but also traditional
and innovative roles, i.e. control and conflict mediation, have
been amplifled and diversified. Therefore, parliaments are far from
being put aside.' - Daniela Irrera, EuropeNow This insightful
companion examines the role of parliaments in the external
relations of the EU, a relatively under-explored topic of research
in an increasingly complex international relations environment. In
fact, this volume challenges the dominant perspective,
demonstrating the increased networking of parliaments both within
the EU and with external actors, shedding light on the growing role
of parliamentary scrutiny, control and conflict mediation.
Providing a comparative overview of parliamentary action in EU
external relations, this book considers both the conceptual basis
of these actions and examines key case studies for empirical
analysis. It situates the EU's internal and external dimension of
parliamentary cooperation in a wider context, engaging in a debate
that goes beyond the EU into relationships with neighbouring
regions as well as parliamentary institutions from other areas of
the globe. Advanced students and researchers of EU external
relations and global governance will greatly benefit from reading
this timely book. At the same time, international relations and
political science scholars will also appreciate this thorough and
comprehensive volume. Contributors include: M.A. Afke Groen,
