The subject of the research presented herein is the relationship between the national parliaments (NP) and the institutions of the European Union (EU). The main objective of the analysis is to examine their nature, existing relationships and processes, as well
as determining their dynamics and intensity. In addition, the impact of these interactions on the EU political processes and the effects on the functioning of the EU system will be assessed. Recent regulatory changes have expanded the scope of cooperation between NPs with the EP, the Council and the European Commission and the ability to
influence political processes of the EU. In practice, the relationships between the NPs and the EU institutions are complex and self-organised and have significant impact on the political processes of the EU. For this reason, the study used the concept of policy
networks.
My hypothesis is, that the varied and complex forms of cooperation between the NPs and the EU institutions developed through good practices and self-organisation are a policy network and have positive influence on the political processes of the EU. Networks allow to transfer the national experience to the international and transnational arena. This is an important and current research
problem in the context of the debate on reforming the EU.
It is indeed most unfortunate, but often politics is somewhat not well connected to academia and research community not just in EU but all over the world. There is lot of talking and initiatives, but many do not translate to tangible results. Plus, there is a very complex politics on its own in academia that often can trigger making it even more complex.
I'm pretty sure it did, but not as much as it might have. Take a look at my "Insertion and the Quality of Work" article available on contribution page. If that helps, my "Joker in the Pack" chapter would help even more. Ask your library to order a copy.
