An invaluable exploration of the concern that transfers of power to
European Union institutions are producing a worrying new form of
democratic deficit. While ongoing reforms of these institutions
promise to render decision processes at European level more
transparent and accountable, these expert authors examine whether
there is a European public sphere for citizens and their
representatives to discuss, deliberate and evaluate issues of
public relevance. They show how the process of European integration
has given rise to a new object of study - European society, and why
key questions concerning identity, citizenship, democracy,
government and institutions are being raised anew and are major
political concerns at European and Member State level. With six
case studies of EU policy-making and representative institutions,
they analyze the intensity of participatory practices in four
dimensions: mobilization of societal actors, public contestation
and debate, openness of decision-making, and responsiveness of
policy makers. This book will be of strong interest to students and
researchers of the European Union, European politics, European
studies as well as those concerned with more theoretical aspects of
governance and the public sphere.
