At the Origins of Parliamentary Europe
Verlag Barbara Budrich
978-3-8474-3066-7 (ISBN)
Das Buch entdeckt diesen bisher vernachlässigten Ursprung des parlamentarischen Europas neu und untersucht die Bedeutung der Ad-hoc-Versammlung für die Politisierung der europäischen Integration. Es geht der Frage nach, wie die Versammlung als Projekt der europäischen Integration nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg funktionierte, und erklärt sie als einen Moment in der politischen Theorie- und Begriffsgeschichte des Parlamentarismus, der Perspektiven für spätere Phasen der Parlamentarisierung der EU eröffnet. In 1952, politicians from Germany, France, Belgium, Italy, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg formed an Ad Hoc Assembly with the aim of drafting a constitution for a future European Political Community. Rediscovering this previously neglected origin of parliamentary Europe, Kari Palonen investigates the significance of the Ad Hoc Assembly for the politicization of European integration. He delves into how the debates of the assembly functioned as a project of European integration after the Second World War, interpreting it as a moment in the political theory and conceptual history of parliamentarism that opens new perspectives on the later stages of the parliamentarization of the EU.
