Abstract

The relationship between the executive and the legislature is one of the most fundamental aspects of representative democratic systems. In parliamentary systems, especially, the executive and parliament are intertwined and interdependent. These relations can fundamentally affect the nature of parliamentary work, both from individual parliamentarians as well as other actors. This panel focuses on these relations, with a specific focus on accountability and control.
