At the Origins of Parliamentary Europe (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

In 1952, politicians from Germany, France, Belgium, Italy, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg formed the first Ad Hoc Assembly with the aim of drafting a constitution for a future European Political Community. In their deliberations on how a parliamentary government could be realised in a supranational community, the participants formulated pivotal aspects of European politicization. Rediscovering this previously neglected origin of parliamentary Europe, the book investigates the significance of the Ad Hoc Assembly for the politicization of European integration. It delves into how the assembly functioned as a project of European integration after the Second World War, explaining it as a moment in the political theory and conceptual history of parliamentarism that opens up perspectives on later stages of the parliamentarization of the EU.
