The European Union's "democratic deficit" and ways that might be
found to resolve it are hot issues in both academic debate and
practical politics. "Democratizing the European Union" offers a
fresh approach to this subject by bringing together a diverse range
of authors who have been actively involved either in analyzing the
activities of the European Union or participating in them.
The contributors go beyond a primarily institutional approach by
highlighting issues having to do with values, participation, and
exclusion. Collectively this volume also transcends the limitations
of abstract theory. Embracing a range of perspectives, and
including discussions of major contemporary challenges, such as
enlargement and economic and monetary union, this book contains a
detailed analysis of the response of New Labour to the
democratization debate. The contributions include: Sue Cohen,
"Social Solidarity in the Delors Period"; Sverker Gustavsson,
"Reconciling Suprastatism and Accountability: A View from Sweden";
Stefano Fella, "A Europe of the Peoples? New Labour and
Democratizing the EU"; John Lambert and Catherine Hoskyns, "How
Democratic is the European Parliament?"; Valerio Lintner,
"Controlling Monetary Union"; Mary Kaldor, "Eastern Enlargement and
Democracy"; Richard Kuper, "Democratization: A Constitutionalizing
Process"; and Catherine Hoskyns, "Democratizing the EU: Evidence
and Argument."
"Democratizing the European Union" is essential reading for all
those with an interest in the EU and broader questions of
democracy. It is also particularly useful for students of European
Studies and practitioners involved in EU policymaking and
lobbying.
