Contemporary democracies are going through a crisis not only political but a temporal crisis. The Parliament appears at the center of the contradictions produced by a society in which velocity and the need for efficiency rule, in a world every time more complex and globalized. The Parliament is limited in time according to a special rhythm and logics, according with its institutional, normative, political and human identity. Its three classical functions (legislate, control the government and represent) are impacted by time and take part in the production of a special time, between social time, politics and above all legal. This study is circumscribed to a geo-constitutional framework limited to five national parliamentary systems which have in common a bicameral nature and a transnational parliamentary system with the EU. ; Las democracias contemporáneas atraviesan una crisis no sólo política, sino también de temporalidad. El Parlamento aparece como centro de las contradicciones producidas por una sociedad en la que impera la velocidad y la necesidad de eficiencia, en un mundo cada vez más complejo y globalizado. El Parlamento se inscribe en el tiempo según un ritmo y una lógica especiales, de acuerdo con su identidad institucional, normativa, política y humana. Sus tres funciones clásicas (legislar, controlar el gobierno y representar) son impactadas por el tiempo y participan a la producción de un tiempo especial, entre tiempo social, político y sobre todo jurídico.
