Abstract

The European Union constitutes an especially dense space from the parliamentary point of view and of considerable complexity in relation with its representative nature. In order to address the de-parliamentarization of its institutions two strategies have been proposed whose outreach is here analysed: the implication of national Parliaments in the European governance and the strengthening of the European Parliament. In this article both proposals are examined critically. To improve representation in Europe, this article aims to explore the possibilities of representative innovation that such a peculiar political entity allows.
