Mooi! Maar heb wel tussen haakjes checks and balances ertussen gedaan. Het is niet te geloven maar ik was IATE volledig vergeten. Scheelt veel Kudoz vragen :)

2 hrs confidence:

checks and balances

Explanation:
Kennelijk is "checks and balances" een bekend begrip binnen het politieke domein. Zie bijvoorbeeld een voorbeeld uit het boek Constitutioneel recht Door C.A.J.M. Kortmann op http://books.google.nl/books?id=6z5sx1gsqe0C&pg=PA297&lpg=PA...
Kernbegrippen daarbij zijn de Triaspolitica, het stelsel van checks and balances en de constitutionele monarchie met een parlementair stelsel.

Goede checks and balances nodig bij publiek-private samenwerking
Oratie hoogleraar Van Montfort over publiek-private arrangementen

In gevallen waar de vertaling "teugels en tegenwichten" wordt gebruikt, wordt de Engelse term vaak tussen haakjes toegevoegd.
