Monika Brusenbauch Meislová has published an article in The Journal of Legislative Studies (nakladatelství Routledge/Taylor and Francis). The article is titled “Game of Deals: Bargaining Behaviour of the European Parliament in the Brexit Process” (and if you're wondering, it is indeed a sneaky reference to Game of Thrones :-) and it provides an in-depth analysis of the various bargaining strategies that the European Parliament (EP) used to leverage its influence over the negotiations of the Withdrawal Agreement and the Trade and Cooperation Agreement. More specifically, it focuses on five bargaining self-empowerment strategies (obstructing, moving first, issue-linking, allying with other actors, and mobilising public opinion), elucidating if, how and to what extent the EP was using these strategies vis-à-vis the Brexit process. Conceptually, the article rests on the theory of bargaining-based rational institutionalism. The analysis covers almost a five year period, from the announcement of the in/out referendum results on 24 June 2016 until 27 April 2021 when the EP consented to the conclusion of the TCA.
