The authors offer a comprehensive overview over the role of parliamentary administrations in European Union policy-making. Based on an extensive analysis of regional and national parliaments and the European Parliament, they provide a new perspective on the adaptation of parliaments to European integration.

This handbook offers a comprehensive picture of the European activities of national parliaments in all 28 member states of the European Union. In the aftermath of the Lisbon Treaty, it assesses the extent to which national legislatures actually matter in European governance.
