Against this background, the Seminar aims to provide students with detailed knowledge of the role national parliaments ought to, can and actually do play in EU affairs. We will discuss why European integration poses a problem for national parliaments and assess their involvement from both a theoretical and empirical perspective. Topics also include the Early Warning Mechanism, the Political Dialogue as well as different forms of inter-parliamentary cooperation. Students will be introduced to applications of different Europeanisation concepts to national parliaments and become familiar with the main neo-institutionalist approaches and quantitative and qualitative methods used in comparative empirical analyses. In addition, they will be introduced to recent discussions on the challenges European integration poses for our classic understanding of parliamentary representation as well as on new approaches to transnational parliamentary representation.
