Institutional balance is not however self-executing. It presumes by its very nature a normative and political judgment as to which institutions should be able to partake of legislative and executive power, and what constitutes the appropriate balance between them. These normative underpinnings have altered over time in the EU, and continue to do so. These changes will be charted throughout the subsequent analysis and form the underlying theme of the chapter, which is divided into four temporal periods. Includes well-designed learning features to guide the reader through each topic, including concise 'central issues' and helpful 'conclusions' in each chapter, as well as detailed further reading advice.
