− 0 min readOn October 8th, in the first edition of the Jean Monnet Lecture Series 2019/2020, Prof. Shackleton presented his new book on ‘Shaping Parliamentary Democracy’.
The book analyses nearly 100 original interviews with Members of the European Parliament from across the European Union who were active between 1979 and 2019. The interviews 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.
