Whereas 'democracy' assumes a single demos or people, 'demoi-cracy'
refers to democratic government and governance in a polity
constituted by separate peoples. Since the European Union consists
of many demoi with different collective identities, largely
separate public spheres, and a predominantly national political
infrastructure, demoi-cracy is an appropriate standard for the
analysis and evaluation of democracy in the EU. In its vertical
dimension, demoi-cracy is based on the equality and interaction of
citizens' and statespeoples' representatives in the making of
common policies. Horizontally, it seeks to balance equal
transnational rights of citizens with national policy-making
autonomy. This volume offers exemplary studies exploring the
potential for and the workings of demoi-cracy in the EU across a
broad range of institutions and issues in both its vertical and
horizontal dimensions. In particular, the contributions address the
following questions: Is demoi-cracy relevant to citizen attitudes
and public discourse on the EU's legitimacy? How do national and
supranational democratic institutions interact? Do the EU's modes
of governance, such as regulation through agencies, mutual
recognition, and the open method of coordination, meet demoi-cratic
expectations? This book was originally published as a special issue
of the Journal of European Public Policy.
