At the Origins of Parliamentary Europe

In 1952, politicians from Germany, France, Belgium, Italy, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg formed an Ad Hoc Assembly with the aim of drafting a constitution for a future European Political Community. Rediscovering this previously neglected origin of parliamentary Europe, Kari Palonen investigates the significance of the Ad Hoc Assembly for the politicization of European integration.

At the Origins of Parliamentary Europe

The book analyses a parliamentary alternative for supranational Europeanisation of politics. The guiding idea of the book is: supranationalism and parliamentarism mark two aspects of politicisation of Europe by overcoming the order of nation-states and intergovernmental relations.
