Interparty Relations in the European Parliament 1952–2024: Between Cooperative and Adversarial Politics

Improving global governance
Sep 30, 2024 | Wilfried Martens Centre for European Studies

In this paper by the Wilfried Martens Centre for European Studies, Luciano Bardi and Jacopo Cellini examine trends in relations between party groups in the European Parliament since its inception, with a particular focus on the European People’s Party (EPP) and its options for forging coalitions in the coming tenth legislative term. They trace the evolution of the two phases of intra-parliamentary relations in the European Parliament since its early days defined by cooperative and adversarial politics. Their historical analysis explains why the European Parliament follows a different logic to that of most national parliaments and illustrates how this evolution has played out. https://www.martenscentre.eu
