Abstract

Avec l’entrée en vigueur du Traité de Lisbonne, les parlements nationaux des États membres de l’Union ont désormais la possibilité de contrôler les propositions d’actes législatifs de l’Union pour ce qui concerne le respect du principe de subsidiarité. Cette nouvelle compétence représente une réelle opportunité pour les parlements nationaux de s’impliquer davantage dans le suivi du processus législatif européen, mais elle appelle également de nombreuses questions auxquelles il convient de répondre pour éviter qu’elle ne reste lettre morte. En abordant tour à tour le contexte, l’objet, puis la procédure du contrôle du respect du principe de subsidiarité à travers l’expérience des parlements belges, néerlandais et luxembourgeois, l’ouvrage éclaircit la situation et formule des propositions qui devraient mener à un contrôle effectif. Car si les auteurs des traités ont fait un premier pas en développant cette procédure de contrôle, il reste aux parlements nationaux à parcourir le reste du chemin… La clarté de l’ouvrage intéressera notamment les parlementaires et les fonctionnaires de l’Union européenne

Abstract

In most countries, parliament has the constitutional mandate to both oversee and hold government to account. In light of the increased focus on good governance, academics and legislative strengthening practitioners are re-examining parliament's oversight function with a view to increasing public financial accountability, curbing corruption, and contributing to poverty reduction. This volume brings together research from many different perspectives and many different legislative settings worldwide. As the country case studies in section III demonstrate, the accountability mechanisms or oversigh

Abstract

Why has U.S. national security policy scarcely changed from the Bush to the Obama administration? And why does it matter? The theory of 'double government' posed by the 19th century English scholar Walter Bagehot suggests a disquieting answer. The public is encouraged to believe that the presidency, Congress, and the courts make security policy. That belief sustains these institutions' legitimacy. Yet their authority is largely illusory. National security policy is made, instead, by a 'Trumanite network' of several hundred members that is largely concealed from public view.

Abstract

Global Intelligence Oversight is a comparative investigation of how democratic countries can govern their intelligence services so that they are effective, but operate within frameworks that are acceptable to their people in an interconnected world. The book demonstrates how the institutions that oversee intelligence agencies participate in the protection of national security while safeguarding civil liberties, balancing among competing national interests, and building public trust in inherently secret activities. It does so by analyzing the role of courts and independent oversight bodies as t
