I parlamenti nazionali nel processo di integrazione europea, fra partecipazione al decision-making process e coinvolgimento delle istanze territoriali

Abstract

This essay outlines the role that the national parliaments of federal and regional states can play in the context of the multilevel governance of the EU.The methods of coordination between national parliaments and sub-state territorial bodies areanalysed. They express a bilateral process that moves as much on the European side as on the internal one, potentially giving life to a system that can significantly contribute to the process of European integration, andthat appears to be one of the essential tools to make up, at least partially, to the"democratic disconnect"of the European Union.
