The European Union is often attacked for its 'democratic deficit',
namely its deficiencies in representation, transparency and
accountability, as well as its lack of popular support. Can these
shortcomings be counteracted by the development of a viable
European public sphere? This book assesses the possible formation
of a communicative space that might enable and engender the
creation of a transnational or a supranational public. The
contributors consider the EU's democratic credentials and how well
it communicates, and they also evaluate the major institutions and
their links to general publics. The European Union and the Public
Sphere emphasizes a 'deliberative democratic' perspective on the
public sphere, addressing some key questions: * What are the
prospects for a European public sphere? * Should we think in terms
of the EU having a single public sphere, or are overlapping public
spheres a more viable option? * What do this book's findings on the
question of the public sphere tell us about the EU as a political
entity? Students and scholars of European democracy, political
communication, and the politics of institutions will all be greatly
interested by this book.
