We are glad to announce that the new number of the BACES Working Paper Series has been published: Peñalver, N. & Arregui, J. (2023). "Identifying and Explaining Capacities as Determinants of EP’s Legislative Outputs". According to its abstract, the paper tries first to identify the main sources of power and influence within the EP in a systematic way, and secondly, to explore how these mechanisms actually operate in a case study about the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) 2016/679. The paper shows, among other things, that in a majority of cases structural sources of power are the most relevant ones, then institutional and finally individual capacities.
