Парламентаризация и политизация на Eвропейския съюз
Parliamentarization and Politicization of the European Union

Summary/Abstract: Over the last decade, two trends have gradually come to the center of atten- tion of European integration studies. The first is related to the “politicization of the EU” – a complex concept that aims to link a number of political and public issues, underlying the growing contradictions of the multi-level decision-mak- ing process. The second line of analysis concerns the “parliamentarization of the EU”, referring to the changing institutional role of the European Parliament and its interaction with the legislatures of the Member States.The main thesis put forth by the author is that the analysis of parliamen- tarization is key but yet insufficient component of a broader process of polit- icization. This goes beyond the standard theoretical concepts and provokes a new reading of the implications associated with these phenomena. Thus, it contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of EU decision-making in the context of various crises and growing euroscepticism/.
