迄今为止，对欧洲议会影响的许多评估在本质上都是一般性的：将议会作为一个无差别的实体处理，并以一般的方式处理其政策影响。本文所论证的是，欧洲央行的政策贡献无法以总量或绝对值进行充分评估。相反，我们需要承认欧洲央行影响的偶然性。如果说衡量立法影响在国家层面上是一项极其复杂的工作，那么在欧共体的“竞争性联邦制”背景下更是如此。因此，本文关注的是“如何”——欧洲议会在具体政策领域内施加政策影响的程度；以及“为什么”——有助于解释政策影响变化的变量。通过对环境、研究和技术发展等政策领域的个案研究，研究了环境政策所产生的不同影响。
Abstract To date many assessments of the influence of the European Parliament have been general in nature: dealing with parliament as an undifferentiated entity and its policy impact in generalised terms. What this article argues is that the policy contribution of the EP cannot be adequately assessed in aggregate or absolute terms. Instead, recognition of the contingency of EP influence needs to be acknowledged. If the measurement of legislative influence is an enormously complex undertaking at national level, it is even more so in the context of EC ‘competitive federalism’. This article is concerned, therefore, with the ‘how’ ‐ the extent to which the EP exerts policy influence within specific policy areas; and the ‘why’ ‐ the variables that help to explain the variation in policy influence. Through case studies in the policy fields of the environment and research and technological development the differentials of influence exerted by the EP are examined.
