ABSTRACT

Parliamentary administrations play a fundamental role in support to their institutions.

However, a clear comparative picture of whether, and if so how, the internal organisation of parliamentary administrations adapts to the parliamentary architecture is still lacking. The purpose of this article is to address this gap, focusing on the macro and micro features of parliamentary administrations in bicameral systems in Europe in order to assess how different symmetrical or asymmetrical bicameral arrangements influence the administrative organisation of parliament.

The comparative analysis reveals that, from the macro-organisational perspective, the main distinction between divided and joint parliamentary administrative formats is independent of the symmetrical or asymmetrical nature of the bicameral architecture. By contrast, from the viewpoint of the micro-organisation, different forms of administrative synergies between the two Houses can be detected, which show some significant correlation with the bicameral structure. On the whole, however, these influences act in multiple and often uneven ways.

摘要

议会行政部门在支持其机构方面发挥着重要作用。

然而，仍然缺乏关于议会行政机构的内部组织是否以及如何适应议会架构的清晰比较图景。本文旨在解决这一差距，重点关注欧洲两院制议会管理的宏观和微观特征，以评估不同的对称或非对称两院制安排如何影响议会的行政组织。

比较分析表明，从宏观组织的角度来看，分立和联合议会行政形式的主要区别与两院制结构的对称或不对称性质无关。相比之下，从微观组织的角度来看，可以发现两院之间不同形式的行政协同作用，这与两院制结构有一些显着的相关性。然而，总的来说，这些影响以多种方式发挥作用，而且往往是不平衡的。
