This paper, however, argues that this democratic rationale is a rather recent one. In fact, it was a polemological rationale, i.e. the idea that inter-parliamentary co-operation would help overcome conflict and war among states, that was midwife to international parliamentarism in the first place. After introducing the polemological and democratic rationales of international parliamentarism, this paper focuses on the case of security cooperation in Europe because this region has a particularly long and rich history of inter-parliamentary cooperation. The papers argues that, in many respects, the polemological rationale does not conflict with a democratic one: Both benefit from a high frequency of meetings, interesting speakers and a strong secretariat to support their work. The two logics do conflict, however, when it comes to the inclusion or exclusion of MPs from non-member states. Whereas the polemological rationale suggests inclusion in order to foster communication and interaction between MPs from various side of a conflict, the democratic rationale prioritizes interaction amongst members over outreach to non-members.","PeriodicalId":311545,"journal":{"name":"Parliamentary Cooperation and Diplomacy in EU External Relations","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126466460","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through three case studies (Albania, Ukraine and Macedonia), this paper explores how EP parliamentarians have sought to help find solutions to political disputes in non-EU countries. The cases evaluate these mediation efforts according to four factors: the level of MEP involvement, the role of the EP’s secretariat, the amount of cooperation with other EU actors, and the extent to which the EP arrived with a defined outcome in mind for the negotiations. The conclusion suggests that the EP’s increased institutionalization and formalization of its mediation activities through a new stand-alone Mediation Service will lead the Parliament to undertake more such missions in the future—and with higher rates of potential success.","PeriodicalId":311545,"journal":{"name":"Parliamentary Cooperation and Diplomacy in EU External Relations","volume":"82 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131619820","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fossum, Guri Rosén","doi":"10.4337/9781786438850.00009","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4337/9781786438850.00009","url":null,"abstract":"The purpose of this chapter is to discuss the issue of democratic control and accountability in the realm of European Union (EU) external relations. Legislative assemblies are key instruments in ensuring democratic control. This chapter places particular emphasis on the multilevel system of legislatures in the EU. The EU has developed a distinctive structure of legislative relations that shapes its ability to exercise democratic control and accountability of external relations. EU external relations are profoundly affected by the fact that Member States have not abrogated their sovereignty, but have come together to pool it and share it in a common set of institutions. That affects the ways in which domestic and foreign relations are handled within the multilevel EU context. It also shapes legislative relations in the multilevel EU. A distinctive feature of legislative relations within the EU context is that they connect parliaments across levels of governing. The system of inter-parliamentary relations holds traits that resemble a multilevel parliamentary field (MLPF) (Crum and Fossum 2009, 2013). By MLPF we mean that parliamentary systems share certain structural similarities and are connected across states and levels of governance. The issue is whether or the extent to which the EU’s MLPF incorporates EU external relations. We consider how extensive the incorporation is and what the democratic implications might be. In the next section, we outline core features of the EU polity in order to show how EU external relations are structured. Thereafter, we spell out in more detail how the various aspects of EU external relations are organized. Particular emphasis is placed on how parliaments control and scrutinize these relations. In the final section, we discuss democratic implications.","PeriodicalId":311545,"journal":{"name":"Parliamentary Cooperation and Diplomacy in EU External Relations","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121239677","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Introduction: a world of parliamentary relations? Parliamentary cooperation and diplomacy in EU externalrelations","authors":"K. Raube, J. Wouters, M. Müftüler‐Baç","doi":"10.4337/9781786438850.00007","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4337/9781786438850.00007","url":null,"abstract":"In today’s increasingly complex and interdependent world, the role of parliaments remains a relatively understudied research topic. The multiple patterns of global governance are mostly dominated by the executive branches of government, with parliaments remaining on the sidelines. Anne-Marie Slaughter in her work A New World Order (2004) described the global order as a network of transgovernmental network relations. At the same time, she noted the role of parliaments in networked globalism. Her analysis concluded that parliaments lack the ability and interest to network with other parliaments in the world, and essentially run behind the advanced governmental interplays that effectively shape global governance. Through the prism of current research on parliamentary cooperation in the European Union (EU), the present volume aims to revisit Slaughter’s perspective (see also Janèiæ 2015). At the same time, this volume obviously adds to the literature of European foreign policy, which so far has treated parliamentary activity and relations in the EU’s external relations rather as an afterthought. Only lately has attention shifted towards an increased role of the European Parliament (EP) and national parliaments, especially with regard to international agreements and trade policy (Rippoll Servent 2014; Rosén and Raube 2018; Wouters and Raube 2018; Woolcock 2012). Research on parliamentary cooperation shows the increasing networking of parliaments not only in the EU (Crum and Fossum 2009; Lupo and Fassone 2016) but also between the EU and actors outside the EU (see Costa and Dri 2014; Jančić and Stavridis 2016). This volume also focuses on comparative examples of parliamentary cooperation of actors and organizations outside the EU. Overall, it not only sheds light on EU parliamentary cooperation, but also on the scope and role of parliamentary networks in an increasingly interdependent world. As such it aims to make a contribution to both the global governance and EU external relations discourses by highlighting the role of parliaments.","PeriodicalId":311545,"journal":{"name":"Parliamentary Cooperation and Diplomacy in EU External Relations","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129973432","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
