Legislative Codecision in the European Union : Experience over Twenty Years and Implications, Paperback / softback Book

Legislative Codecision in the European Union : Experience over Twenty Years and Implications Paperback / softback

Edited by Anne Rasmussen, Charlotte Burns, Christine Reh

Part of the Journal of European Public Policy Series series

Paperback / softback

Description

This volume takes stock of twenty years of practising and studying codecision in the European Union (EU) and examines the procedure’s long-term implications for the EU’s institutions, politics and policies.

The introduction of co-legislation between the Council of Ministers and the European Parliament in 1993 raised the prospect of increased parliamentary involvement in EU decision-making and promised a new era of more transparent, inclusive and accountable policy-making.

This collection draws together contributions from diverse theoretical and methodological perspectives in order to analyse the extent to which codecision has delivered the expected gains and to review the unexpected effects that have followed from its introduction, such as the growing informalisation of EU decision-making.

Using a combination of in-depth qualitative case studies, wider quantitative analyses, practitioners’ insights and a review of the procedure’s democratic legitimacy the contributions offer a holistic assessment of the effect of co-decision on the political system of the EU. This book was published as a special issue of the Journal of European Public Policy.
