dc.description.abstract | Deliberation, as a mode of interaction based on the logic of reason-giving argumentation, is a core
feature of the European Union institutions. Yet only few studies have explored the conditions that
make deliberation possible in practice. This study examines the institutional determinants of
deliberation within joint parliamentary committees (JPCs) – longstanding instruments of EU
enlargement policy. The empirical analysis reveals a dynamic relationship between ‘deliberation’
and ‘debate’ as extreme modes of interaction that co-exist within the same setting. It also suggests
that deliberation is a product of participants’ constant efforts to maintain equal power relations and
low issue-area sensitivity. This study provides new evidence on deliberative politics at the EU level.
In addition, it highlights the role of inter-parliamentary deliberation as a catalyst for political
co-operation and policy co-ordination, at a time of intensifying enlargement fatigue and growing
Euroscepticism both at home and abroad. | en_US |
