This book considers national parliaments’ and the European
Parliament’s role in European Union (EU) economic governance. It
examines the recent strengthening of parliamentary involvement,
limitations to improvements, and where and how democratic deficits
still exist. It also provides the basis for some reflections
concerning possible future evolutions and improvements to EU
economic governance. The EU’s economic governance framework has
been significantly strengthened as a response to the 2008 economic
and financial crisis, and the establishment of a new Banking Union
in 2013. It is thus key to determine whether these additional
transfers of powers to the EU level have been accompanied by an
equivalent empowerment of the national and European legislatures,
allowing them to ensure adequate democratic legitimation. The
chapters comprehensively re-examine the democratic (throughput)
legitimacy of, and within, the EU’s economic governance by
focusing on national parliaments, on the European Parliament, and
on mechanisms for interparliamentary cooperation. This book was
originally published as a special issue of the Journal of European
Integration.

This volume addresses an important aspect of Brexit that has been
ever-present in public debates, but has so far not received
corresponding attention by academic scholars, namely the role of
parliaments and citizens in this process. To address this gap, this
book brings together an international group of authors who provide
a comprehensive and multidisciplinary treatment of this subject.
Specifically, the contributors, scholars from the UK and across
Europe, provide diverse accounts of the role of regional, national
and European parliaments and citizens from the perspectives of Law,
Political Science and European Studies. The book is structured in
three parts focused on developments, respectively, in the UK, in
the parliaments of the EU27, and at the EU level. Beyond providing
a comprehensive examination of the scrutiny of Brexit, the book
utilises the insights gained from this experience for a study of
executive-legislative relations in the European Union more
generally, examining the balance, or lack thereof, between
governments and parliaments. In this way, the book also speaks to
some of the long-lasting, indeed perennial questions about the
effects of constitutional provisions and political practice in the
context of European democracy.

Ten years after the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty, has
executive predominance in EU-related matters disappeared? How have
executive-legislative relations in the EU evolved over a
crisis-ridden decade, from the financial and migration crises, to
Brexit and the COVID-19 pandemic? The Lisbon Treaty could be
expected to lead to the re-balancing of powers in favour of
parliaments, for it significantly enhanced the roles of both the
European Parliament and national parliaments. A decade later the
contributions to this edited volume examine - for the first time in
such an extensive breadth and from a multi-level and cross-policy
perspective - whether this has actually materialised. They
highlight that diverging tendencies may be observed, and that
important variations over time have occurred, depending
particularly on the occurrence of crises. As stated in the
fascinating epilogue by Peter Lindseth (University of Connecticut
School of Law), this is an 'admirably coherent collective volume,
whose contributions provide an excellent overview of key aspects of
executive-legislative relations in the European system since the
Treaty of Lisbon'. This edited volume will hence be of interest to
both academics and practitioners interested in future reforms
designed at the European and national levels to improve the EU's
democratic quality.
