ABSTRACT The failure of members of parliament to act with integrity undermines trust in democracy (Allen, N. 2010. Keeping MPs honest? Public Integrity, 12(2), 105–123). To enhance trust, parliaments have introduced ‘Parliamentary Integrity Systems’. Research on integrity systems shows that to be effective a system needs to address two key dimensions of integrity, namely the legal-institutional and the personal-responsibility dimension (Dobel, P. 1999. Public integrity. The John Hopkins University Press). Whilst the first dimension relates to rules and their enforcement, the second is concerned with prevention, or strengthening the understanding and capacity of actors to embrace integrity. To what extent do the existing systems address the two dimensions of integrity? To answer this question, this article reviews 46 Parliamentary Integrity Systems, drawing on data collected by the ‘Group of States against Corruption’ of the Council of Europe. This article finds that Parliamentary Integrity Systems have failed to speak in a balanced way to the two dimensions, with the focus clearly on rules and their enforcement and limited attention to prevention. The article concludes by noting relevant areas for future research, aiming to enhance insights into the effectiveness of the personal-responsibility dimension of integrity.

欧洲议会廉正制度——个人责任维度

摘要 议会成员未能诚信行事，削弱了对民主的信任（Allen, N. 2010。让国会议员诚实？公共诚信，12(2), 105–123）。为了增强信任，议会引入了“议会廉正制度”。对诚信系统的研究表明，要使系统有效，需要解决诚信的两个关键维度，即法律制度维度和个人责任维度（Dobel, P. 1999。公共诚信。约翰霍普金斯大学出版社）。第一个维度与规则及其执行有关，第二个维度与预​​防或加强行为者对诚信的理解和能力有关。现有系统在多大程度上解决了完整性的两个维度？为了回答这个问题，本文回顾了 46 个议会廉正系统，利用欧洲委员会“反腐败国家集团”收集的数据。本文发现，议会廉正制度未能以平衡的方式处理这两个方面，明确关注规则及其执行，而对预防的关注有限。文章最后指出了未来研究的相关领域，旨在增强对诚信个人责任维度有效性的洞察。
