The European Union After Brexit
The European Union after Brexit addresses the forces and mechanisms at work during an unprecedented transformation of the European polity.How will the EU operate without one of its key diplomatic and international military partners?What will happen to its priorities, internal balance(s) of power and legislation without the reliably liberal and Eurosceptic United Kingdom?In general, what happens when an 'ever closer union' founded on a virtuous circle of economic, social, and political integration is called into question?Though this volume is largely positive about the future of the EU after Brexit, it suggests that the process of European integration has gone into reverse, with Brexit coming amidst a series of developments that have disrupted the optimistic trajectory of integration.Covering topics such as international trade, freedom of movement, and security relations, this book answers a need for a one-stop source of strong research-based discussions of Brexit. -- .

Is the European Parliament a paper tiger?
The European Parliament is not a paper tiger. While it may not have the same legislative powers as some national parliaments, it plays a significant role in the EU legislative process. It has the power to amend and reject legislation proposed by the European Commission, and it also has the authority to approve the EU budget. Additionally, the Parliament has gained more influence over the years through the co-decision procedure and its ability to hold the Commission accountable through hearings and questioning. Therefore, it is an important and influential institution within the EU.

Which European Parliament do you find the most beautiful?
I find the European Parliament in Strasbourg to be the most beautiful. Its modern and sleek design, with its distinctive glass facade and curved lines, makes it a striking architectural landmark. The building's location next to the Ill River and its integration with the surrounding parkland adds to its appeal. Additionally, the interior spaces are well-designed and functional, providing a pleasant and efficient working environment for the parliamentarians and staff.

The Italian Parliament in the European Union
"The Lisbon Treaty states that national Parliaments shall contribute to a better functioning of the EU.Can they really do it and therefore enrich the European democracy?How far can they extend their original sovereignty without distorting political responsibilities that should be geared upon the European Parliament?The authors analyze the experience of the Italian Parliament under the light of these crucial questions and their exhaustive answers are greatly helpful to the readers of all over Europe."Giuliano Amato, Judge of the Italian Constitutional Court. This important new collection explores the role of the Italian Parliament in the Euro-national parliamentary system as an example of an increased role for national parliaments within the composite European constitutional order.It illustrates how parliamentary interactions within the European Union are highly systematic, with integrated procedures and mutual interdependence between the various institutions and stakeholders.The book argues that this dynamic is vital for both the functioning and the future equilibrium of democracy in the EU.This is significant, particularly given the challenges posed to democracy within the EU institutions and the Member States. Notwithstanding its peculiarities (a symmetrical bicameral system in which both Houses are directly elected, hold the same powers and are linked through a confidence relationship with the government), the Italian Parliament deserves specific attention as a lively active player of the European polity.The grid for its analysis proposed by this collection may also be applied to other national parliaments, so contributing to the development of comparative research in this field.

Liberty and Locality : Parliament, Permissive Legislation, and Ratepayers' Democracies in the Nineteenth Century
This is a study of local government and permissive legislation in nineteenth-century Britain.It argues that permissive legislation facilitated local initiative and debate, and that local initiatives were often more effective than national legislation. In the eighteenth century, every locality which wished to improve or police its streets had to obtain its own private Act of Parliament.By the nineteenth century, when the construction of a habitable urban environment had become a matter of urgency, Parliament had recourse to `permissive' or `adoptive' legislation, which the localities were free to adopt, or not, as they chose.Parliament facilitated, but did not require, local action, and so long as initiative and responsibility remained in local hands, relations between central and local government were relaxed.In the 1850s and 1860s, the House of Commons conceived itself to be an imperial parliament, not a vestry, and Local Boards thought of themselves as parliaments in miniature.Thereafter Parliament's preference for a permissive system gradually yielded to a concern with equality of provision. Twentieth-century historians have largely written from the point of view of the centralizers and the permanent officials in the Department of State.Liberty and Locality puts the emphasis back upon Parliament, where the decisions were taken, and the localities themselves, where their consequences were felt.

International Populism : The Radical Right in the European Parliament
The 2014 European Parliament elections were hailed as a 'populist earthquake', with parties like the French Front National, UKIP and the Danish People’s Party topping the polls in their respective countries.But what happened afterwards? Based on policy positions, voting data, and interviews conducted over three years with senior figures from fourteen radical right populist parties and their partners, this is the first major study to explain these parties' actions and alliances in the European Parliament.International Populism answers three key questions: why have radical right populists, unlike other ideological party types, long been divided in the Parliament?Why, although divisions persist, are many of them now more united than ever? And how does all this inform our understanding of the European populist radical right today?Arguing that these parties have entered a new international and transnational phase, with some trying to be 'respectable radicals' while others embrace their shared populism, McDonnell and Werner shed new light on the past, present and future of one of the most important political phenomena of twenty-first-century Europe.

Can a non-party candidate be elected to the European Parliament?
Yes, a non-party candidate can be elected to the European Parliament. In many European countries, candidates can run as independents without being affiliated with a political party. These candidates can campaign on their own platforms and seek support from voters without the backing of a political party. If they receive enough votes, they can be elected to represent their constituency in the European Parliament. However, it can be more challenging for non-party candidates to gain visibility and support compared to candidates from established political parties.
