- Abstract
- Written declarations in the European Parliament have not been given much
attention in the field of political science. The scope of this Master's thesis is to
examine whether symbolic politics are present in written declarations and how
this may show. In this study, the aspects of symbolic politics of written

The main findings of the study show that symbolic politics is a present

In the final chapter of this study inter alia symbolic politics as a deliberate
action is discussed in the view of written declarations. Irrespective of this, one
could say that symbolic politics are institutionalised in the European Parliament,
at least when it comes to written declarations. (Less)
