It supports the view that the institutional adaptation of both assemblies to European affairs is largely superficial as it lacks a genuine involvement from members of parliament. Nevertheless, the role of backbenchers has changed in the context of European integration. New ways of behaving, thinking and representing have emerged. From specialized representatives to constituency members, from presidential aspirants to Eurosceptic sovereigntists, French national parliamentarians have adapted differently to the EU. Far beyond the sole scrutiny of European draft legislation, the book provides a comprehensive map of this changing environment. It supports the view that the process has been driven by the search for day-to-day emotional gratifications rather than utilitarian strategies. Olivier Rozenberg is Associate Professor at the Centre for European Studies and Comparative Politics, Sciences Po, Paris, France. He has co-edited books on parliamentary roles and questions, national parliaments, and parliamentary studies more generally. 410 0$aFrench Politics, Society and Culture,$x2946-3769 606 $aEurope?Politics and government 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aPolitical sociology 606 $aEuropean Politics 606 $aGovernance and Government 606 $aPolitical Sociology 615 0$aEurope?Politics and government. 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 0$aPolitical sociology. 615 14$aEuropean Politics. 615 24$aGovernance and Government. 615 24$aPolitical Sociology. 676 $a328.44072 676 $a328.44 700 $aRozenberg$b Olivier$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0972285 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910369930303321 996 $aThe French Parliament and the European Union$92210783 997 $aUNINA
