Parliamentary Ethics: institutional and social dimension

Thesis attempts to approach the Code of Conduct for Members of the Greek Parliament (2016) as a complicated legal phenomenon with political, social and economic implications.
The thesis is developed in three parts with their individual chapters: The first part deals with the causes (social - economic - political) of the emergence of parliamentary ethics mainly at a national level, meanwhile, through a comparative review - typology of forty-five (45) Codes of Conduct of national parliaments - is mapped the multifaceted picture of their rapid dissemination and development at international level, as a form of reflexive defence of parliaments against revelations of scandals of corruption, mismanagement - waste of public money, abuse of parliamentary privileges, etc.
The second part describes the process of adoption of the Code of Conduct for Members of the Greek Parliament and its integration in traditional sources of parliamentary law. It traces its relations - its interrelationship with other institutional (executive - judicial function) and concomitant (party ethics) Codes in distinct or non-legal subsystems. The physiognomy of the Code, its legal nature, its legitimacy develop in conditions of multilevel governance and constant reframing of the terms of parliamentary autonomy and independence.
The third part records issues of implementation and evaluation of the Code of Conduct on a theoretical and empirical basis through a qualitative research. The article-by-article approximation to the Code is an attempt to critically deepening the new regulatory framework in its multiple manifestations, while the evaluation of the implementation of the Code is reflected both in the light of the institutional supervision of the competent bodies - institutions (such as GRECO, Special Standing Committee on Parliamentary Ethics), and on the basis of the perceptions of the representatives of the Parliament, as recorded through qualitative research.
The mass dissemination of Codes of Conduct - as a widespread practice of self-regulation - re-stabilizes the relationship between politics, economics and law at transnational level and invests in new forms of “good governance”, in terms of transparency, integrity, efficiency, accountability, as ideal or not “self-regulating” forms of public political life.
