Career Behaviour and the European Parliament: All Roads Lead Through Brussels?

Autor William T. Daniel
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 29 apr 2015
Career Behaviour and the European Parliament seeks to answer the question of how a political institution, such as the European Parliament, can impact the career ambitions and behaviours chosen by European politicians.Long considered a 'second order' legislature in its degree of political importance and prestige, the European Parliament is the only directly elected institution within the European Union and is an increasingly important part of the European legislative process. Using a major new source of quantitative data and interviews with more than 50 current and former European legislators, this book argues that as the institution has become increasingly professionalized and powerful, the volatility of its membership has declined. However, the professional ambitions of its members vary greatly by national background, leading to an uneven distribution of legislative seniority and influence within the legislature. The book presents a new theory with political careers acting as institutions in themselves, and also offers complete background information on all elected Members of the European Parliament, from 1979-2014.

Recenzii

Apart from the impressive data collection effort and quantitative analysis to support his arguments, the author has interviewed a few dozen MEPs to help make sense of the results and to analyse in more depth three national delegations: France, Germany and Poland ... an otherwise innovative, clear and highly comprehensive study on the career behaviour of MEPs.
Empirically, the merits of the book are many. The longitudinal account of the career behaviours is based on an impressive dataset, containing background information on all elected MEPs from 1979 to 2014. It is completed by and checked against a more cross-sectional analysis in three countries, considering the profiles of outgoing and incoming MEPs in France, Germany and Poland in 2014...the book makes a most valuable contribution to our understanding of career behaviours at the supranational level, and will undeniably be of serious interest to students and scholars concerned with the EP, and beyond.
