This book explores the mechanisms of political representation and
accountability in the European political system, against the
backdrop of multiple crises in recent years in the economic,
financial, security and immigration fields, which have triggered
strong tensions and centrifugal drives inside the EU and among its
member states. Exploiting a rich set of new ad hoc collected data
covering elite and public opinion orientations and party positions,
it investigates how the current politicization of European issues
and the asymmetries among member states can challenge the
sustainability of the European Union. It examines how existing
policy tools were found largely unable to neutralize promptly the
negative effects of these crises on the populations, economies and
security of the Union and how this suggests the need to reconsider
overarching theoretical frameworks and a more in-depth analysis of
some crucial mechanisms of the European political system and to go
beyond some of the dominant scholarly debates of the past decades.
This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of the
European Union and more broadly to comparative European politics
and international relations.
