NATIONAL PARLIAMENTS IN THE EUROZONE CRISIS: CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES

Abstract

This article analyses if and how the position of national parliaments of selected member states has changed in reaction to the Euro-crisis by looking at the legal norms which regulate their role and powers in the new economic governance and at their first enforcement. It also tries to explain from which direction and institutions the changes in the parliamentary positions have been driven, whether on the part of the parliament itself or by other actors. Five national parliaments have been selected, namely the French, the German, the Italian, the Portuguese, and the Spanish Parliaments, in the light of the different inter-institutional relationship existing between the legislative and the executive branch and of the economic situation in these Eurozone countries.
