Opis: European Parliament 2e - David Earnshaw, David Judge, D Judge

The 2nd edition of this broad-ranging text examines the political dynamic of the European Parliament within the EU and sets it in the broader context of comparative legislative analysis. It presents a comprehensive introduction to the European Parliament (EP) by two leading authorities. The book assesses the EP's role and effectiveness as a representative body linking citizens and decision makers. It is up-to-date, including coverage of the latest elections, the major changes to the EP under the Lisbon treaty, and recent internal organizational changes. The authors make important contributions to the debates surrounding the democracy, legitimacy and 'parliamentarization' of the European Union. Reviews of the first edition: '[A] comprehensive text that is firmly rooted in the advanced literature on the European Parliament and is essential reading for scholars of the EP and of democracy and institutions in the EU.' - Richard Whitaker, Journal of Common Market Studies 'Judge and Earnshaw do a masterful job of highlighting the major junctures in the development of the EP. Their discussion of organization, powers, and influence!is clearly set down, readable, and informative.' - Erik Jones, Political Science Quarterly '[E]ssential reading!This book is easily the most comprehensive treatment in English of the EP today and!is likely to remain the central work on the subject for some time.' - Paolo Dardanelli, Times Higher Education Supplement '[T]his welcome addition to the still relatively small amount of literature on the Parliament will undoubtedly become a core textbook for those studying the EU. There's plenty of food for thought, too, on these pages, to tempt the policy practitioner crowd.' - European Voice '[D]eeply sensitive to both the changing character of the institution over time and to the nature of the wider system of EU governance within which it is located!a 'must read' for the growing community of students of the EU.' - Ben Rosamond, Public Administration 'This exhaustive book makes a useful contribution to the debate about democracy, legitimacy and parliamentary powers in the European Union.' - Bulletin Quotidien EuropeIntroduction Locating the European Parliament Historical Evolution: The European Parliament and Ever Closer Union Linkage, Elections and Legitimacy Linkage, Representation and MEPs Party Groups in the European Parliament Internal Organisation Formal Powers Influence and Decision Making A Parliamentary Europe?
