Discussing what we may learn from thinking about the EU in federal
terms represents a two-fold challenge. It is on the one hand a
matter of establishing 'how federal' the EU is (the EU's federal
challenge). On the other, the EU has federal features but is not a
state, thus raising the question of whether federal theory and
practice may have to be adapted to take proper account of the EU
(the EU's challenge to federalism). The contributions to this
collection supplement and extend existing scholarship through
focusing on two important lines of inquiry. The first focuses on
the relationship between federalism and democracy, with particular
emphasis on how federal systems respond to and deal with citizens'
interests and concerns, within and outside the political system.
Representation is explored both in the process of federalization,
and as a feature of established systems. The second line of inquiry
places the emphasis on the relationship among the governments of
federal systems. The focus is on intergovernmental relations, and
the particular merits that emanate from studying these from a
federal perspective. This book was originally published as a
special issue of Journal of European Public Policy.
