The role of national parliaments in rulemaking is decreasing. In most states, national ministries draft the majority of national legislation. Parliamentary approval is not required for private, international rule making products or for rules designed by informal transnational networks of public actors.
Requirements for an upgrade in parliamentary rulemaking processes are:
- Resources for parliamentarians (knowledge, funds, people)
- Processes for agenda and goal setting
- Options to leave actual rulemaking to private or international networks
- Interactive processes for giving stakeholders voice (citizens, business, ministries, experts, IGOs) that diminish the need for unstructured lobbying
- Investigation processes into situations where rulemaking has been ineffective
