When Compromise Becomes Standoff
This article explores endogenous problems of joint implementation in multi‐level systems. Focusing on the European Public Prosecutor's Office (EPPO), we theorize a causal mechanism of conflict deferral, whereby contentious negotiations are resolved through deliberately ambiguous legislation that postpones conflict to the implementation stage. Under conditions of joint implementation, where multiple authorities exercise interdependent enforcement …
The honest, the efficient, and the trustworthy
Since the euro crisis, national stereotypes have often been present in the political and media discourse on European Union (EU) economic governance. Yet, despite the frequency of such stereotypes in political rhetoric and media coverage, little is known about their prevalence in public opinion or in connection with citizen preferences on EU redistribution. This article examines the relationship between national stereotypes held by EU citizens and…
Is the grass really greener on the other side? Parliamentary oversight of the European Central Bank and the Fed
This article explores differences in the parliamentary oversight of the European Central Bank (ECB) and the Federal Reserve (the Fed) in the United States during crisis situations. It is often argued that the Monetary Dialogues with the ECB lack the high level of accountability found in congressional hearings with the Fed. To test this assertion, the study conducts a systematic comparison of parliamentary questions addressed to the two central ba…
From historical bias to historical insight
Following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine (2022), several Western European leaders expressed regret for previously disregarding the warnings of multiple Central and Eastern European (CEE) governments concerning the threat of Russian aggression. In the past, such warnings were seen as residual anti-Russian sentiment rooted in the region’s historical experience during communism. Borrowing from social psychology, this article proposes a nove…
Police patrols, fire alarms, or ambulance chasers? Parliamentary oversight of European monetary policy and banking supervision
The parliamentary oversight of the European Central Bank (ECB) is frequently criticised for its lack of focus in both monetary policy and banking supervision. While Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) can publicly question ECB decisions in these fields, they often use committee hearings for other purposes, such as expressing political positions on issues that may or may not be related to ECB activities. This article aims to conceptualise su…
Understanding oversight through parliamentary questions
Although parliamentary questions are an essential tool of legislative oversight, there is limited research on their variation in holding governments accountable. In this article, we analyse a new dataset of 1393 oral questions posed by Members of the European Parliament during the 8 th parliamentary term. After distinguishing between questions asking for information, justification, or rectification of conduct, we explain their variation in connec…
Differentiated participation, uniform procedures
European Union (EU) institutions have become increasingly involved in direct policy implementation in the member states, creating a new domain of differentiation in EU governance. What brings about such differentiation, and how does it vary across policy fields? Drawing on theories of differentiated integration, this article argues that differentiated implementation occurs at the intersection of postfunctional obstacles (politicisation) and funct…
Between Ideology and Nationality
What drives the behaviour of Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) in legislative oversight? In this article, we explore the interplay between the ideology and nationality of MEPs in policy fields where the two dimensions are likely to come into conflict. Focusing on EU socio‐economic governance, we collect an original dataset of parliamentary questions asked during the Economic Dialogues with the European Commission (2012–2019). By means of …
Accountability in the EU's para‐regulatory state
This article revisits Majone's famous argument about accountability in the regulatory state in reference to the European Union's (EU) Economic and Monetary Union. We show that the EU has entered the stage of a “para‐regulatory state” marked by increasing EU regulation in areas linked to core state powers. Despite the redistributive and politicized nature of these policy areas, the EU's “para‐regulatory state” has continued to rely on its regulato…
Opening Pandora’s Box? Joint Sovereignty and the Rise of EU Agencies with Operational Tasks
This article problematises the proliferation of European Union (EU) agencies with operational tasks as a new phenomenon capturing the exercise of joint sovereignty in European integration. While joint decision-making has been a feature of EU politics for decades, joint sovereignty is a broader category that additionally involves the creation of EU bodies able to intervene ‘on the ground’ alongside national public actors. We argue that the choice …
Procedural vs substantive accountability in EMU governance
This article introduces a new normative framework for analysing accountability in the European Union's Economic and Monetary Union (EMU). The framework is anchored in four normative 'goods' that accountability is supposed to ensure: openness, non-arbitrariness, effectiveness, and publicness. All of these can be achieved in a procedural or substantive way, depending on whether actors are held accountable for the quality of their decision-making pr…
Q&A in legislative oversight
Parliamentary questions are an essential tool of legislative oversight. However, the extent to which they are effective in controlling the executive remains underspecified both theoretically and methodologically. This article advances a systematic framework for evaluating the effectiveness of parliamentary questions drawing on principal–agent theory, the public administration literature on accountability and communication research. The framework …
Speaking on Europe’s behalf
This article aims to understand the lack of consensus at the European Union (EU) level during the refugee crisis based on the discursive polarization of the main governmental and institutional actors involved in decision-making. Drawing on de Wilde’s representative claims analysis, the goal is to trace competing claims of representation made on ‘Europe’s behalf’ by multiple actors claiming to defend EU values or the interests of citizens. The ana…
Contesting the European Central Bank in Banking Supervision
The establishment of the Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM) raised expectations regarding the ability of the European Parliament (EP) to hold the European Central Bank (ECB) accountable for its decisions. This article examines the accountability interactions between the two institutions in the first years of the functioning of the SSM (2013–18). The focus is on the extent to which the EP contests ECB supervisory decisions in practice through lett…
EU politicization beyond the Euro crisis
The dynamics of institutional behaviour in EU justice and home affairs
This article investigates the reasons behind varying institutional positions in the European Union’s (EU) area of justice and home affairs (JHA). It argues that such instances of institutional behaviour cannot be fully understood without examining how each institution seeks to legitimize its role in the EU political system. A novel theoretical framework on institutional behaviour is advanced, connecting individual policy positions and governance …
