These interviews, preserved in the Historical Archives of the European Union at the European University Institute, capture the memories of the MEPs about their own roles and their assessment of what the parliament achieved in developing a European parliamentary democracy in the forty years following the first direct elections. The book offers a taste of the interviews in ten chapters, each of which corresponds to a specific theme presented in the archive: choosing the parliament, working inside the parliament machine, living inside the political groups, playing a part in major moments, influencing and shaping policy, scrutinizing and holding to account, making a mark beyond the EU, communicating the work of the parliament, keeping in touch with national societies, and looking to the future. Alfredo De Feo is a professor at the European College of Parma and Fellow at the European University Institute, Firenze, Italy. He is former Director of the European Parliament and has published widely on EU affairs, including The New Politics of the European Union Budget (with S. Becker and M. Bauer, 2017). Michael Shackleton is Special Professor in European Institutions at the University of Maastricht, The Netherlands, and former Head of the EP Information Office in London, UK. He has published widely on EU affairs, including co-authoring eight editions of The European Parliament.Palgrave Studies in European Union Politics,2662-5873HistoriographyEuropean UnionWorld politicsLegislative bodiesPublic policyInternational organizationMemory Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/711010European Union Politicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911140Political Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911080Legislative and Executive Politicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911240Public Policyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911060International Organizationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912010Historiography.European Union.World politics.Legislative bodies.Public policy.International organization.Memory Studies.European Union Politics.Political History.Legislative and Executive Politics.Public Policy.International Organization.907.2341.242224De Feo Alfredoedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtShackleton Michaeledthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910484851703321Shaping parliamentary democracy1766913UNINA
