  • In the shadow of the European Council

    Open Access•Edoardo Bressanelli, Christel Koop et al.•ARTICLE•European Journal of Political…•2026

    The European Council regularly intervenes in everyday law-making by expressing legislative priorities in summit conclusions. We theorise and analyse the impact of these priorities on the duration of the EU’s co-decision (or ordinary legislative) procedure. Theoretically, we argue that the European Council increases speed through leadership. Leadership translates, via political authority, into limited hierarchical relations between the national he…

  • The European Conservatives and Reformists Group

    Open Access•Margherita de Candia, Edoardo Bressanelli•ARTICLE•The International Spectator•2025

    The European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) group has emerged as an important player in European Parliament (EP) decision-making. Drawing on about 1,300 EP plenary votes from July 2019 to June 2022, we demonstrate that the ECR group has played an active and often cooperative role in the politics of the EP, albeit not in the policy areas where its national conservative and soft Eurosceptic ideology comes to prominence, such as women’s rights o…

  • The party politics of the digital transformation

    Open Access•Edoardo Bressanelli, Gregorio Buzzelli et al.•ARTICLE•Contemporary Italian Politics•2025•Referências: 33

    Digital transformation has become an increasingly important policy concern for European decision-makers, though its prominence in political debate remains uncertain. Existing literature on the salience of this issue presents conflicting findings, attributing variation either to the peripheral role of political actors or to their ideological orientations. This article contributes to this body of research by offering new insights into the dynamics …

  • Fratelli d’Italia in the European Parliament

    Open Access•Edoardo Bressanelli, Margherita de Candia•ARTICLE•Contemporary Italian Politics•2025•Citada por: 12•Referências: 13

    This article studies the behaviour of Fratelli d’Italia (FdI) in the European Parliament (EP). Analysing a large sample of roll-call votes in the ninth EP (2019-2022) together with a selected sample of highly significant votes on COVID-19 and post-pandemic recovery, it shows that FdI has the strongest voting agreement with its allies in the European Conservatives and Reformists group (ECR) and votes more often with the centre-right European Peopl…

  • Europeanisation in the aftermath of Covid-19

    Open Access•Edoardo Bressanelli, David Natali•ARTICLE•Comparative European Politics•2024•Citada por: 3•Referências: 7

    While much of the recent literature on the impact of COVID-19 has focussed on governance at the EU level and specific policy areas, the changing political institutional arrangements within the EU Member States themselves have received significantly less attention. This article aims to contribute filling this gap by asking: how, and to what extent, has the core executive in Italy changed to manage and implement the National Recovery and Resilience…

  • Tested by the Polycrisis

    Open Access•Edoardo Bressanelli, David Natali•ARTICLE•Politics and Governance•2023

    This thematic issue addresses the question: To what extent have the latest crises—the pandemic crisis and Russia’s war in Ukraine—triggered institutional and policy change in the EU? It contributes to the literature on the impact of crises on integration and the EU political system, presenting new research based on fresh theoretical insights, empirical data, or a combination of both. Theoretically, the contributions collected in the thematic issu…

  • The Recovery and Resilience Dialogues

    Open Access•Edoardo Bressanelli, Nicola Chelotti et al.•ARTICLE•Politics and Governance•2023•Citada por: 3•Referências: 12

    The recovery and resilience dialogues were introduced by the regulation of the Recovery and Resilience Facility, and the first of such dialogues took place in May 2021. The European Parliament invites the Commission, approximately every two months, to exchange views on matters relating to the national recovery and resilience plans and progress in their implementation. Through an analysis of an original dataset composed of the questions asked by t…

  • Agenda‐setting under pressure

    Open Access•Christel Koop, Christine Reh et al.•ARTICLE•European Journal of Political…•2022•Citada por: 23•Referências: 52

    The European Union (EU) has become increasingly visible and contested over the past decades. Several studies have shown that domestic pressure has made the EU's ‘electorally connected’ institutions more responsive. Yet, we still know little about how politicisation has affected the Union's non‐majoritarian institutions. We address this question by focusing on agenda‐setting and ask whether and how domestic politics influences the prioritisation o…

  • Back to the Westminster model? The Brexit process and the UK political system

    Open Access•Gianfranco Baldini, Edoardo Bressanelli et al.•ARTICLE•International Political Science…•2022•Citada por: 15•Referências: 21

    This article investigates the impact of Brexit on the British political system. By critically engaging with the conceptualisation of the Westminster model proposed by Arend Lijphart, it analyses the strains of Brexit on three dimensions developed from from Lijphart’s framework: elections and the party system, executive– legislative dynamics and the relationship between central and devolved administrations. Supplementing quantitative indicators wi…

  • Managing Disintegration

    Open Access•Edoardo Bressanelli, Nicola Chelotti et al.•ARTICLE•Politics and Governance•2021•Citada por: 3•Referências: 6

    Brexit makes both a direct and an indirect impact on the European Parliament (EP). The most direct consequence is the withdrawal of the 73-member strong UK contingent and the changing size of the political groups. Yet, the impact of Brexit is also felt in more oblique ways. Focussing on the role and influence of the EP in the EU–UK negotiations, and of the British delegation in the EP, this article shows that the process, and not just the outcome…

  • Assessing What Brexit Means for Europe

    Open Access•Edoardo Bressanelli, Nicola Chelotti•ARTICLE•Politics and Governance•2021•Citada por: 2•Referências: 7

    With the signing of the EU–UK trade and cooperation agreement in December 2020, the configurations of Brexit have started to become clearer. The first consequences of the UK’s decision to leave the EU have become visible, both in the UK and in the EU. This thematic issue focuses on a relatively under-researched aspect of Brexit—what the UK withdrawal has meant and means for the EU. Using new empirical data and covering most (if not all) of the po…

  • EU Actors under pressure

    Edoardo Bressanelli, Christel Koop et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of European Public Policy•2020•Citada por: 80•Referências: 37

    This contribution conceptualises bottom-up politicisation in Europe's multi-level system. EU-level actors, we argue, respond strategically to the functional and political pressures 'travelling up' from the member states. Perceiving domestic dissensus as either constraining or enabling, actors display both self-restraint and assertiveness in their responses. Motivated by the survival of the EU as a system 'under attack', and by the preservation of…

  • Responsive withdrawal? The politics of EU agenda-setting

    Christine Reh, Edoardo Bressanelli et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of European Public Policy•2020•Citada por: 31•Referências: 37

    This contribution asks whether and why the newly political environment of EU law-making impacts on the European Commission's choice (not) to announce the withdrawal of legislative proposals. We argue that the Commission uses ‘responsive withdrawal’ in response to bottom-up pressure, so as to signal self-restraint or policy-determination to different audiences. Bottom-up pressures are driven by (1) the national contestation of ‘Europe’; (2) visibl…

  • Negotiating Brexit

    Edoardo Bressanelli, Nicola Chelotti et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of European Integration•2019•Citada por: 13•Referências: 12

    Article 50 of the Treaty of Lisbon gives the European Parliament (EP) the power to consent on the terms of the withdrawal agreement between the exiting state and the EU. As Brexit is the first case where art. 50 has been invoked, the role of the EP in such a procedure is uncharted territory. This article assesses to what extent the EP has contributed to the Brexit negotiations until November 2018. Drawing on official documentation and thirteen or…

  • Love, convenience, or respectability? Understanding the alliances of the Five Star Movement in the European Parliament

    Open Access•Edoardo Bressanelli, Margherita de Candia•ARTICLE•Italian Political Science…•2019•Citada por: 6•Referências: 33

    The Five Star Movement (M5S) formed the Eurosceptic Europe of Freedom and Direct Democracy Group when it first elected its members in the European Parliament (EP) in 2014. Two and a half years later, the M5S sought, without success, to leave the Eurosceptics and join the Liberal group. This attempted a change of transnational affiliation is puzzling: why has the M5S tried to leave the Eurosceptic group to ally with the most Europhile group in the…

    This article analyses the claims for national sovereignty made in the British Conservative and Labour parties. In Britain, national sovereignism has been embedded within an entrenched tradition of Euroscepticism, whereas populist claims have periodically punctuated the discourse of both main parties, before emerging with more vocal tones during the discussion on Brexit. While most sovereigntist claims share some degree of populism, we reserve the…

    This article provides a preliminary assessment of the impact of the Brexit process—from the June 2016 referendum to June 2018—on the British political system. Drawing on the classic work of Arend Lijphart and the ensuing scholarship applying the Westminster model to Britain, it seeks to understand whether and to what extent Brexit has impacted on the majoritarian features of the system. Adapting Lijphart's criteria, it focuses on the electoral‐pa…

  • The European Parliament and economic governance

    Edoardo Bressanelli, Nicola Chelotti•ARTICLE•Journal of Legislative Studies•2018•Citada por: 28•Referências: 29

    This article studies the influence of the European Parliament (EP) in the reform of the EU’s economic governance. Descriptively, it aims to provide a systematic map of the negotiations of the Six- and the Two-Pack legislation, focusing on the key controversies between the co-legislators, and comparing the position of the EP with the Commission’s legislative proposals, the Council position and the final legislative output. The surprisingly limited…

  • When politics prevails

    Open Access•Christel Koop, Christine Reh et al.•ARTICLE•European Journal of Political…•2018•Citada por: 28•Referências: 50

    In many political systems, legislators serve multiple principals who compete for their loyalty in legislative votes. This article explores the political conditions under which legislators choose between their competing principals in multilevel systems, with a focus on how election proximity shapes legislative behaviour across democratic arenas. Empirically, the effect of electoral cycles on national party delegations’ ‘collective disloyalty’ with…

    This article analyses the role of the European Council in two key legislative packages on economic and budgetary coordination, the Six-pack and the Two-pack, which were negotiated under the ordinary legislative procedure. It assesses how and to what extent the key actor in the literature on the new intergovernmentalism – the European Council – is able to curb the powers of the supranational institutions – the Commission and the European Parliamen…

  • The impact of informalisation

    Open Access•Edoardo Bressanelli, Christel Koop et al.•ARTICLE•European Union Politics•2016•Citada por: 25•Referências: 38

    European Union legislative decision-making is increasingly shifted into informal secluded arenas. Scholars have explained this trend and analysed its consequences for bargaining success and democratic legitimacy. Yet, we know little about how informalisation affects legislative behaviour in the European Parliament. This article contributes to closing the gap, by theorising and analysing the impact of ‘early agreements’ on cohesion. Given the repu…

  • The Informal Politics of Legislation

    Open Access•Christine Reh, Adrienne Héritier et al.•ARTICLE•Comparative Political Studies•2013•Citada por: 103•Referências: 35

    This article investigates a widespread yet understudied trend in EU politics: the shift of legislative decision making from public inclusive to informal secluded arenas and the subsequent adoption of legislation as “early agreements.” Since its introduction in 1999, “fast-track legislation” has increased dramatically, accounting for 72% of codecision files in the Sixth European Parliament. Drawing from functionalist institutionalism, distributive…

In June 2009, more than 150 national parties, from the 27 member countries, joined one of the seven transnational groupings. Two main explanations for group membership are advanced. A first, traditional argument is based on the ideological or policy compatibility of the member parties. National parties will join the political group that best m…

    We depart from the argument that policy congruence between the national and the EU parties has a role in bridging the democratic deficit of the EU. We assess it for the difficult case of Italy, where the issue of parties' transnational affiliation is incredibly divisive, and the party system is in a state of flux. Using the EU Profiler data, we are able to show that its parties are remarkably congruent. Yet, we suggest that congruence might overe…

    In many political systems, legislators serve multiple principals who compete for their loyalty in legislative votes. This article explores the political conditions under which legislators choose between their competing principals in multilevel systems, with a focus on how election proximity shapes legislative behaviour across democratic arenas. Empirically, the effect of electoral cycles on national party delegations’ ‘collective disloyalty’ with…

  • Negotiating Brexit

    Edoardo Bressanelli, Nicola Chelotti et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of European Integration•2019•Citada por: 13•Referências: 12

    Article 50 of the Treaty of Lisbon gives the European Parliament (EP) the power to consent on the terms of the withdrawal agreement between the exiting state and the EU. As Brexit is the first case where art. 50 has been invoked, the role of the EP in such a procedure is uncharted territory. This article assesses to what extent the EP has contributed to the Brexit negotiations until November 2018. Drawing on official documentation and thirteen or…

  • Love, convenience, or respectability? Understanding the alliances of the Five Star Movement in the European Parliament

    Open Access•Edoardo Bressanelli, Margherita de Candia•ARTICLE•Italian Political Science…•2019•Citada por: 6•Referências: 33

    The Five Star Movement (M5S) formed the Eurosceptic Europe of Freedom and Direct Democracy Group when it first elected its members in the European Parliament (EP) in 2014. Two and a half years later, the M5S sought, without success, to leave the Eurosceptics and join the Liberal group. This attempted a change of transnational affiliation is puzzling: why has the M5S tried to leave the Eurosceptic group to ally with the most Europhile group in the…

  • Taking back control? Brexit, sovereignism and populism in Westminster (2015–17)

    Gianfranco Baldini, Edoardo Bressanelli et al.•ARTICLE•European Politics and Society•2019•Citada por: 22•Referências: 9

    This article analyses the claims for national sovereignty made in the British Conservative and Labour parties. In Britain, national sovereignism has been embedded within an entrenched tradition of Euroscepticism, whereas populist claims have periodically punctuated the discourse of both main parties, before emerging with more vocal tones during the discussion on Brexit. While most sovereigntist claims share some degree of populism, we reserve the…

  • EU Actors under pressure

    Edoardo Bressanelli, Christel Koop et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of European Public Policy•2020•Citada por: 80•Referências: 37

    This contribution conceptualises bottom-up politicisation in Europe's multi-level system. EU-level actors, we argue, respond strategically to the functional and political pressures 'travelling up' from the member states. Perceiving domestic dissensus as either constraining or enabling, actors display both self-restraint and assertiveness in their responses. Motivated by the survival of the EU as a system 'under attack', and by the preservation of…

  • Responsive withdrawal? The politics of EU agenda-setting

    Christine Reh, Edoardo Bressanelli et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of European Public Policy•2020•Citada por: 31•Referências: 37

    This contribution asks whether and why the newly political environment of EU law-making impacts on the European Commission's choice (not) to announce the withdrawal of legislative proposals. We argue that the Commission uses ‘responsive withdrawal’ in response to bottom-up pressure, so as to signal self-restraint or policy-determination to different audiences. Bottom-up pressures are driven by (1) the national contestation of ‘Europe’; (2) visibl…

  • Managing Disintegration

    Open Access•Edoardo Bressanelli, Nicola Chelotti et al.•ARTICLE•Politics and Governance•2021•Citada por: 3•Referências: 6

    Brexit makes both a direct and an indirect impact on the European Parliament (EP). The most direct consequence is the withdrawal of the 73-member strong UK contingent and the changing size of the political groups. Yet, the impact of Brexit is also felt in more oblique ways. Focussing on the role and influence of the EP in the EU–UK negotiations, and of the British delegation in the EP, this article shows that the process, and not just the outcome…

  • Assessing What Brexit Means for Europe

    Open Access•Edoardo Bressanelli, Nicola Chelotti•ARTICLE•Politics and Governance•2021•Citada por: 2•Referências: 7

    With the signing of the EU–UK trade and cooperation agreement in December 2020, the configurations of Brexit have started to become clearer. The first consequences of the UK’s decision to leave the EU have become visible, both in the UK and in the EU. This thematic issue focuses on a relatively under-researched aspect of Brexit—what the UK withdrawal has meant and means for the EU. Using new empirical data and covering most (if not all) of the po…

  • Agenda‐setting under pressure

    Open Access•Christel Koop, Christine Reh et al.•ARTICLE•European Journal of Political…•2022•Citada por: 23•Referências: 52

    The European Union (EU) has become increasingly visible and contested over the past decades. Several studies have shown that domestic pressure has made the EU's ‘electorally connected’ institutions more responsive. Yet, we still know little about how politicisation has affected the Union's non‐majoritarian institutions. We address this question by focusing on agenda‐setting and ask whether and how domestic politics influences the prioritisation o…

  • Back to the Westminster model? The Brexit process and the UK political system

    Open Access•Gianfranco Baldini, Edoardo Bressanelli et al.•ARTICLE•International Political Science…•2022•Citada por: 15•Referências: 21

    This article investigates the impact of Brexit on the British political system. By critically engaging with the conceptualisation of the Westminster model proposed by Arend Lijphart, it analyses the strains of Brexit on three dimensions developed from from Lijphart’s framework: elections and the party system, executive– legislative dynamics and the relationship between central and devolved administrations. Supplementing quantitative indicators wi…

  • Tested by the Polycrisis

    Open Access•Edoardo Bressanelli, David Natali•ARTICLE•Politics and Governance•2023

    This thematic issue addresses the question: To what extent have the latest crises—the pandemic crisis and Russia’s war in Ukraine—triggered institutional and policy change in the EU? It contributes to the literature on the impact of crises on integration and the EU political system, presenting new research based on fresh theoretical insights, empirical data, or a combination of both. Theoretically, the contributions collected in the thematic issu…

  • The Recovery and Resilience Dialogues

    Open Access•Edoardo Bressanelli, Nicola Chelotti et al.•ARTICLE•Politics and Governance•2023•Citada por: 3•Referências: 12

    The recovery and resilience dialogues were introduced by the regulation of the Recovery and Resilience Facility, and the first of such dialogues took place in May 2021. The European Parliament invites the Commission, approximately every two months, to exchange views on matters relating to the national recovery and resilience plans and progress in their implementation. Through an analysis of an original dataset composed of the questions asked by t…

  • Europeanisation in the aftermath of Covid-19

    Open Access•Edoardo Bressanelli, David Natali•ARTICLE•Comparative European Politics•2024•Citada por: 3•Referências: 7

    While much of the recent literature on the impact of COVID-19 has focussed on governance at the EU level and specific policy areas, the changing political institutional arrangements within the EU Member States themselves have received significantly less attention. This article aims to contribute filling this gap by asking: how, and to what extent, has the core executive in Italy changed to manage and implement the National Recovery and Resilience…
