How have EU-level actors responded to the increase in salience and
contestation across the member states? This volume explores and
explains the actors' strategic responses and emphasises that
domestic pressure has triggered both depoliticisation and
politicisation. Long gone are the times when EU decisions left
citizens indifferent, and when the supranational was largely
irrelevant for public opinion and electoral politics across the
member states. Instead, a string of existential crises has struck
and unsettled the Union over more than a decade. These crises have
politicised Europe, tested the endurance of the supranational
system to its core, and put EU-level actors under unprecedented
pressure. This volume explores how and why EU-level actors respond
to the various, sometimes competing, 'bottom-up' demands, and
challenges the view that domestic contestation necessarily limits
EU-level room for manoeuvre. Instead, contributions show that
domestic pressure can be perceived as either constraining or
enabling, with responses, therefore, ranging from the restrained to
the assertive. Driven by the survival of the Union, by the
preservation of their own powers, and by different perceptions of
domestic demands, actors will choose to politicise or depoliticise
decision-making, behaviour, and policy outcomes at the
supranational level. The volume concludes that whilst domestic
pressure triggers supranational responses, such responses should
not be assumed to be restraining; they may equally be empowering
including for European integration itself. The chapters in this
book were originally published as a special issue of the Journal of
European Public Policy.
