• Resumen

  • More than a decade has passed since the Lisbon Treaty explicated two channelsof democratic representation in the European Union (EU): one directly throughthe European Parliament (EP) and one indirectly through national parliaments.This review article uses a wave of recent case studies to analyse how relationsbetween national parliaments and the EP have evolved in practice in the post-Lisbon period. We develop a conceptual framework of the organisation of inter-parliamentary relations that sets them between patterns of intensive,coordinated action and areas of competition among the involvedparliaments. We use the recent case studies to identify the dynamics indifferent EU policy fields and to assess some first expectations about thefactors that drive the variation between them.
