Résumé
Ten years after the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty, has executive
predominance in EU-related matters disappeared? How have
executive-legislative relations in the EU evolved over a crisis-ridden
decade, from the financial and migration crises, to Brexit and the
COVID-19 pandemic?
The Lisbon Treaty could be expected to lead to
the re-balancing of powers in favour of parliaments, for it
significantly enhanced the roles of both the European Parliament and
national parliaments. A decade later the contributions to this edited
volume examine – for the first time in such an extensive breadth and
from a multi-level and cross-policy perspective – whether this has
actually materialised. They highlight that diverging tendencies may be
observed, and that important variations over time have occurred,
depending particularly on the occurrence of crises. As stated in the
fascinating epilogue by Peter Lindseth (University of Connecticut School
of Law), this is an 'admirably coherent collective volume, whose
contributions provide an excellent overview of key aspects of
executive-legislative relations in the European system since the Treaty
of Lisbon'. This edited volume will hence be of interest to both
academics and practitioners interested in future reforms designed at the
European and national levels to improve the EU's democratic quality.
