Executive-Legislative Relations

Abstract

The relationship between government and parliament plays a crucial role in the law-making process and crucially shapes the behaviour of parliamentary actors. Delegation and accountability affect the members of the executive as well as the legislative, and leads, potentially, to agency loss. Especially in parliamentary systems, both institutions are, however, significantly intertwined. This Panel will shed light on the relationship between parliament and government and the effects on the actors, i.e., MPs, parties, and ministers. We welcome Papers exploring this relationship in settings outside Western Europe and the US.
