  • Agenda Control and Policy Entrepreneurship in Legislative Decision-Making
    Understanding EU institutions in context: Agenda control and policy entrepreneurship in legislative decision-making ***Work in progress – please do not circulate or cite without author’s permission*** Stefan Thierse University of Duisburg-Essen Abstract This paper studies the implications of the broader institutional context of the European Union (EU) polity for the legislative process. To this end, the paper adopts Pollack’s (1997) distinction between formal and informal agenda-setting to link two literatures largely isolated from each other. The concept of agenda control is employed to analyze both legislative-executive relations and the distribution of agenda-setting prerogatives within the European Parliament (EP). The multiple streams approach (MSA) serves to explain the conditions and timing of policy change. Special attention is devoted to the concepts of institutional ambiguity and policy entrepreneurship. These concepts are applied to the EP arena to determine opportunities and constraints for rapporteurs, agents which are widely recognized as agenda-setters and policy entrepreneurs. A case study on the EU chemicals regulation (REACH) serves to illustrate the relevance of institutional ambiguity and policy entrepreneurship to explain the dynamics of agenda-setting and legislative decision-making. Keywords European Parliament, agenda control, multiple streams, policy entrepreneur- ship 1 Introduction There is no shortage of scholarly research that tries to grasp the EU institutions with the vocabulary of comparative government. With regard to executive-legislative relations, analogies have been drawn to separation of powers systems (Decker and Sonnicksen 2011; Kreppel 2011). With regard to the power-sharing arrangement between the EP and the Council, the EU has been likened to a bicameral sys- tem (Hagemann et al.

  • Daten Zur Sozialstruktur Der Deutschen Mdep 759 Daten Zur Sozialstruktur Der Deutschen Abgeordneten Des Europäischen Parlaments*
    Rütters: Daten zur Sozialstruktur der deutschen MdEP 759 Daten zur Sozialstruktur der deutschen Abgeordneten des Europäischen Parlaments* Peter Rütters Obwohl das Europäische Parlament (EP) und die Gemeinsame Versammlung der EGKS, aus der das heutige Parlament der Europäischen Union hervorgegangen ist, inzwischen seit mehr als 60 Jahren bestehen, haben Analysen zur Sozialstruktur der Abgeordneten – und insbeson- dere der deutschen Mitglieder des EP – nur ein eher beiläufiges wissenschaftliches Interesse gefunden . Abgesehen von einer kurzlebigen Konjunktur nach Einführung der Direktwahl des EP im Jahr 19791 hat sich die Aufmerksamkeit auf die Struktur, Kompetenzausstattung und Funktionen des Parlaments und auf dessen Rolle und Einflussmöglichkeiten in den Beziehungen zu den anderen Institutionen von EGKS, EWG, EG und schließlich EU kon- zentriert 2. Seit Einführung der Direktwahlen wurden Wahlberichte und Wahlanalysen ein beliebtes Forschungsfeld3, während die Abgeordnetensoziologie (Sozialstruktur-Analyse) nur beiläufig betrieben wurde . Es sollte daher nicht überraschen, dass den deutschen Europa- Abgeordneten4 – der größten nationalen Gruppe im EP – ein ähnlich sporadisches Interesse * Die Untersuchungen zur „Sozialstruktur“ der deutschen Abgeordneten des Europäischen Parla- ments und zum „Verbleib“ der aus dem EP ausgeschiedenen Parlamentarier (nachfolgender Beitrag in diesem Heft der ZParl) sind Vorstudien – und in gewisser Weise auch Machbarkeitsstudien – für ein geplantes komplexeres Forschungsprojekt, das neben den deutschen Abgeordneten des EP auch vergleichend Abgeordnete anderer EU-Staaten einbeziehen soll .
