Description
Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) Executive-legislative (Im)balance in the European Union by Edited by Diane Fromage Edited by Anna Herranz-Surralles
This book offers a (re-)assessment – from a multidisciplinary perspective - of the balance between executive and legislative powers at both national and European levels ten years after Lisbon. It asks whether parliaments were truly empowered or whether this change was in reality much curtailed in the wake of the Eurocrisis and other recent challenges. It firstly examines the imbalance that exists between executive and legislative powers in a multilevel perspective. Secondly it considers Member States from an individual and comparative perspective. Finally it explores the executive-legislative relations in those policy areas which are particularly sensitive to governments.??
