Citizenship is an ever-evolving and expanding concept. European
citizenship is all the more so. This book considers the role that
the institutional design of the European Union plays in extending
the rights of EU citizens. With chapters from leading researchers
in the field, Democratic Empowerment in the European Union outlines
the core themes relating to democratic empowerment in the EU. It
examines the channels that are being made available by EU
policymakers to help increase democratic participation, as well as
the hindrances to, and the problems associated with, democratic
empowerment. With its groundbreaking account of the ways in which
EU citizens are hampered in exercising their democratic
citizenship, and proposals for how they might be further empowered
to do so, this book is an important addition to the literature on
the subject, and offers an excellent introduction to this crucial
issue. Democratic Empowerment in the European Union will be
essential reading for students of politics and both social and
public policy with interests in democracy and citizenship, as well
as European policymakers seeking to understand and encourage
democratic engagement. Contributors include: W. Bakker, T. Binder,
