Abstract

Rad se bavi ponašanjem zastupnika i zastupnica u Europskom parlamentu s posebnim naglaskom na osmi saziv. Nekoliko čimbenika pokazalo se ključnim pri razumijevanju zastupničkog ponašanja. Jedan od čimbenika je država iz koje zastupnici dolaze koji je najizraženiji prilikom ekonomskim pitanjima. Nadalje, osobna ideološka uvjerenja također su bitan čimbenik. Najviše analize u radu posvetilo se čimbenicima utjecaja nacionalne političke stranke te utjecaju europskih grupacija. Promatrajući lojalnosti prema grupaciji i političkoj stranci pokazalo se kako europska politička grupacija ima najveći utjecaj na ponašanje zastupnika. Stope lojalnosti zastupnika u osmom sazivu izrazito su visoke, a trendovi su identični i ukoliko se posebno promatraju zastupnici i zastupnice iz Hrvatske. Političke grupacije svoj utjecaj vrše kroz alokaciju zastupnika po odborima, osiguravanju vidljivosti zastupnika te podržavanju zastupničkih inicijativa.

Abstract (english)

This paper deals with MEP behavior with emphasis on the 8th term. There are several factors that are crucial in understanding their behavior. One of them is member states from which MEPs come and it is most pronounced when it comes to economic issues. Furthermore, personal ideological beliefs are also important factors. In this paper, the most of analysis was focused on the factors of influence of national political parties and also European parties. If we look at loyalty towards the European party and national political party, it is shown that the European party in the European Parliament has the strongest influence on MEP behavior. The loyalty rates of MEP in the 8th term are extremely high, and the trends are identical for MEPs from Croatia. European parties exert influence through the allocation of MEPs to committees, ensuring their visibility and showing support for their parliamentary initiatives.
