"In May 2014 the 8th European elections take place. 751 Members of Parliament form 28 different countries are directly elected for a five-year term form an electorate of 383 Mio citizens. The European Parliament is a dynamic, truly supranational and since Lisbon a more and more powerful actor. It negotiates on eye-level with the Council of Ministers, holds the European Commission effectively accountable, represents the aggregated interests, ideas and concerns of the Union's citizens, and supervises the development of the EU together with the national parliaments. As a global player the European Parliament deals with members of parliaments of third countries, negotiates international agreements and watches over the protection of human rights and democracy. The authors – MEPs, officials, stakeholders and experts - gibe a deep practical and academic insight into all functions of the European Parliament. The different articles take into account the specific conditions of the EU's only directly legitimized institution. For academics and practitioners alike, Dialer, Neisser and Lichtenberger offer a superb ""guide"" for any serious understanding of the world's only elected transnational parliament."

Heute besitzt es sowohl innerhalb der Union als auch als globaler Akteur politisches Gewicht. Diese Erfolgsgeschichte wird von den europäischen Bürgerinnen und Bürgern nur beschränkt wahrgenommen, wie die geringe Beteiligung an den Wahlen zum Europäischen Parlament zeigt. Das vorliegende Buch beantwortet zentrale Fragen: Wie funktioniert diese demokratisch legitimierte Institution? Was bedeutet ihr Machtzuwachs konkret? Welche weiteren Entwicklungen können erwartet werden?"
