Menrva's Summary

This volume investigates whether national parliaments in the European Union have transitioned from passive victims of integration to active, competitive participants in the legislative process. Editors John O'Brennan and Tapio Raunio assemble a collection of scholarly essays that examine the shifting power dynamics between domestic legislatures and supranational institutions. By analyzing institutional frameworks and parliamentary practices, the contributors assess the extent to which national bodies can exert influence within the complex EU constitutional landscape.
