I parlamenti nazionali nel processo di integrazione europea, fra partecipazione al decision-making process e coinvolgimento delle istanze territoriali
National Parliaments and the European integration process, between participation to the decision-making process and involvement of territorial institutions
Abstract
This essay outlines the role that the national parliaments of federal and regional states can play in the context of the multilevel governance of the EU. The methods of coordination between national parliaments and sub-state territorial bodies are analysed. They express a bilateral process that moves as much on the European side as on the internal one, potentially giving life to a system that can significantly contribute to the process of European integration, and that appears to be one of the essential tools to make up, at least partially, to the “democratic disconnect” of the European Union.
Keywords: National Parliaments in EU; Multilevel governance EU; Early warning system; Interparliamentary cooperation; Political dialogue.
