This volume explores institutional and policy developments in the
EU and its member states in a parallel examination of citizens'
views of the effectiveness of crisis response reflected in public
trust, output legitimacy, and satisfaction with democracy. Our
approach to understanding the crisis posits EU-level governance and
institutional change, national-level policymaking, and domestic
politics as interrelated, interdependent domains of political
action and public spheres that collectively shape the political
landscape of post-crisis Europe. The volume sheds new light on the
relationship among the institutional, policy, and polity
consequences of the crisis. The book has two fundamental aims. The
first is to demonstrate the interconnected nature of European
governance, domestic reform, and democratic politics. The
unprecedented complexity of the financial, sovereign debt,
economic, and social crises in Europe has led to a political crisis
that reflects the struggle to effectively address its various
causes and effects. The second objective is to present a
theoretically informed assessment of the consequences of the
European crises for state-society relations and democratic
legitimacy. Our analysis of the crisis in a variety of national
contexts and European governance highlights the difficulties faced
by political decision-makers. We find that the domestic policy
process is selectively affected or disconnected from the process of
rule-making at the EU level, that public opinion still matters in
the process of policy formation and EU crisis response, and that
the salience of the EU agenda in the domestic public sphere
increasingly depends on the preferences of political actors. Public
response to the crisis has become increasingly complex as well,
ranging from declining trust in the political institutions,
emerging national stereotypes, changing expectations of the EU
level of crisis response, growing disconnect between political
parties and voters, and evolving intra-regional distinctions across
the EU's east-west divide.
