Political Accountability and European Integration

This volume addresses the future of political control and accountability in a European and comparative perspective. It is based on the contributions to an international conference hosted by the Montesquieu Institute (Centre of European Parliamentary History and Constitutional Development) at Maastricht in March 2008. The conference concluded a larger research project that was devoted to identifying features of domestic constitutional law that could help develop a system of effective accountability for the European Union. This volume contains contributions from Thomas Christiansen, Paul Craig, Deirdre Curtin, Bruno de Witte, Philipp Kiiver, Veith Mehde, Dawn Oliver, Jit Peters, Michael Shackleton, Jan Jacob van Dijk, Walter van Gerven, Luc Verhey and Anchrit Wille.
