Abstract:

It is a prevailing narrative in political and academic discourse that regional parliaments with legislative competences should be empowered and more involved in EU affairs because of their potential to further democratise the EU. However, it remains theoretically ambiguous how their involvement would facilitate this democratic added value. This contribution aims to address this shortcoming by outlining an analytical approach to the question: which regional parliamentary functions may serve which democratic purpose that would curb which ‘problem’ of democratic legitimacy in the EU?
