The Cortes Generales in troubled times. The Eurozone-crisis and parliamentary involvement in EU-affairs

More about the book

Focusing on the Spanish parliament's role during the Eurozone crisis, the paper examines the Cortes Generales' measures for scrutinizing crisis management instruments. It investigates whether the Cortes has been an active participant or merely a rule taker in the European context. The analysis begins with the function of national parliaments within the EU system, followed by a detailed exploration of the Cortes' scrutiny mechanisms and their application during the crisis, providing insights into Spain's parliamentary engagement in European governance.
