Hannes Berger provides a systematic introduction to the political science and legal research on parliamentary control. This volume offers a first approach to various theoretical strands that explicitly deal with this area of parliamentarism. Furthermore, Berger presents exemplary empirical analyses of the different dimensions of control, such as the right to question, votes of no confidence, oversight of foreign policy, control of the armed forces, and more. He also discusses current issues such as participation in European politics, the oversight of arms exports, and the intelligence services by the German Bundestag. The book is aimed at political scientists and legal scholars, as well as journalists and actors in political consulting.
