This book shows how the EU's dual sovereignty-legitimacy problem
can be resolved through the political concept of European
citizenship, which can serve both to define the scope of European
sovereignty and to justify EU power beyond national democracy. It
reconceptualizes the EU's legitimacy problem and demonstrates how
sources of legitimacy can be identified and give rise to European
sovereignty. It argues that sovereignty should be based on the will
of citizens acting through various political bodies within the
EU-city halls, regional entities, national governments, and EU
institutions-and develops a general theory, arguably applicable to
any political order. The EU is an unprecedented political project
that is in tension with traditional forms of state legitimation
based on national democracy, as nationalists and populists
throughout Europe often make clear. Against this backdrop, the book
fully articulates the notion of European sovereignty and argues
that the EU's sources of legitimacy are based on European
citizenship and national democracy. This book will be of key
interest to scholars and students of EU politics, European
integration, international institutions, and international
relations.
