We build a structural account of the variation of questions in legislative oversight that includes two drivers: (a) the legal framework of the oversight relationship at play; and (b) the nature of the policy activity under scrutiny.

In a new study for the EU Parliament, Mark Dawson & @adinaakbik.bsky.social demonstrate how the EU Council's tendency to instruct other institutions and its limited accountability have established a gap between its de jure role and its de facto power.
