Zusammenfassung: | With the European Parliament comprising politicians from many different countries, cultures, languages, national parties and institutional backgrounds, one might expect politics in the Parliament to be highly-fragmented and unpredictable. By studying more than 12,000 recorded votes between 1979 and 2004 this 2007 book establishes that the opposite is in fact true: transnational parties in the European Parliament are highly cohesive and the classic 'left-right' dimension dominates voting behaviour. Furthermore, the cohesion of parties in the European Parliament has increased as the powers of the Parliament have increased. The authors suggest that the main reason for these developments is that like-minded MEPs have incentives to form stable transnational party organizations and to use these organizations to compete over European Union policies. They suggest that this is a positive development for the future of democratic accountability in the European Union |

Noury, Gérard Roland Cambridge Cambridge University Press 2007 1 online resource (xvi, 242 pages) txt rdacontent c rdamedia cr rdacarrier Themes in European governance Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015) Development of the European Parliament -- Democracy, transaction costs and political parties -- Ideological not territorial politics -- Participation -- Trends in party cohesion -- Agenda setting and cohesion -- Who controls the MEPS? -- Competition and coalition formation -- Dimensions of politics -- Investiture and censure of the Santer Commission -- The takeover directive With the European Parliament comprising politicians from many different countries, cultures, languages, national parties and institutional backgrounds, one might expect politics in the Parliament to be highly-fragmented and unpredictable. By studying more than 12,000 recorded votes between 1979 and 2004 this 2007 book establishes that the opposite is in fact true: transnational parties in the European Parliament are highly cohesive and the classic 'left-right' dimension dominates voting behaviour. Furthermore, the cohesion of parties in the European Parliament has increased as the powers of the Parliament have increased. The authors suggest that the main reason for these developments is that like-minded MEPs have incentives to form stable transnational party organizations and to use these organizations to compete over European Union policies. They suggest that this is a positive development for the future of democratic accountability in the European Union Europäische Union European Union European Parliament Europäisches Parlament (DE-588)1051754-6 gnd rswk-swf Legislative power / European Union countries Legislators / European Union countries Gesetzgebende Gewalt (DE-588)4131717-8 gnd rswk-swf Gesetzgebung (DE-588)4020682-8 gnd rswk-swf Fraktion (DE-588)4018055-4 gnd rswk-swf Demokratie (DE-588)4011413-2 gnd rswk-swf Abgeordneter (DE-588)4000135-0 gnd rswk-swf Abstimmung (DE-588)4166306-8 gnd rswk-swf Europäische Union.
