This book analyzes the development of the European Parliament's
(EP) committees and their relationship with national political
parties in the light of the EP's increased legislative role over
the last three decades. The book argues that national parties have
a greater incentive to care about what goes on in the EP given the
growth in its legislative power. Because most of the EP's detailed
legislative work takes place in its committees, national parties
should be concerned about their involvement with the EP's committee
system. Based on extensive original research, this book shows how
the EP's committees have changed over time in response to
legislative empowerment and analyzes how national parties and
individual MEPs use the committee system to further their policy
goals. The book makes a theoretical contribution by providing an
explanation for the variation in powers of committees between
separated and fused systems of government and by adapting theories
of legislative organization developed in the context of the US
Congress, to the EP. The European Parliament's Committees will be
of interest to students and scholars studying the European
Parliament, EU institutions, policy-making, and the development of
legislatures and political parties.
