Description: "The book presents the key results of an international cooperation network connecting scholars and politicians from Finland, Germany, France, Sweden, Austria, Italy and Canada who worked on the development, rhetorical challenges, political and interpretative struggles, and relationships between two key concepts of contemporary political thinking and debate: 'Parliament' and 'Europe'.
