Building Democratic and Responsible Global Governance : The Role of International Parliamentary Institutions
The emergence and growth of international parliamentary institutions (IPIs) is a phenomenon that needs a comprehensive evaluation. Their members, parliamentarians, are increasingly interested in participating in these institutions, which explains the dynamic growth of IPIs over the last few decades. IPIs also have a long history. The first among them, the Inter-Parliamentary Union, was founded in 1889. As IPIs have the potential to establish themselves as a contributor to a more democratic and transparent global governance, the enthusiasm for creating them is puzzling, because parliamentarians are primarily expected to follow the local, rather than international agenda. Other problems may have a negative impact on activities of IPIs, such as the lack of continuity, institutional memory and funding. What, then, is the rationale behind the creation of IPIs? What are the returns that justify the investment of parliamentarians' time and energy in these institutions?
