Challenging the conventional narrative that the European Union
suffers from a "democratic deficit," Athanasios Psygkas argues that
EU mandates have enhanced the democratic accountability of national
regulatory agencies. This is because EU law has created entry
points for stakeholder participation in the operation of national
regulators; these avenues for public participation were formerly
either not open or not institutionalized to this degree. By
focusing on how the EU formally adopted procedural mandates to
advance the substantive goal of creating an internal market in
electronic communications, Psygkas demonstrates that EU
requirements have had significant implications for the nature of
administrative governance in the member states. Drawing on
theoretical arguments in favor of decentralization traditionally
applied to substantive policy-making, this book provides insight
into regulatory processes to show how the decentralized EU
structure may transform national regulatory authorities into
individual loci of experimentation that might in turn develop
innovative results. It thus contributes to debates about
federalism, governance and public policy, as well as about
deliberative and participatory democracy in the United States and
Europe. This book informs current understandings of regulatory
agency operations and institutional design by drawing on an
original dataset of public consultations and interviews with agency
officials, industry and consumer group representatives in Paris,
Athens, Brussels, and London. The on-the-ground original research
provides a strong foundation for the directions the case law could
take and small- and larger-scale institutional reforms that balance
the goals of democracy, accountability, and efficiency.
