In recent years the financial and economic crisis of 2008-9 has
progressed into an equally important political and democratic
crisis of the EU. These troubled times have set the framework to
re-assess a number of important questions in regard to
representative democracy in the EU, such as the normative
foundation of political representation, the institutional
relationship between representatives and represented, the link
between democracy and representation and new arenas and actors.
This book examines the diverse avenues through which different
sorts of actors have expressed their voices during the Euro crisis
and how their various interests are translated into the
decision-making process. It offers a state-of- the-art assessment
of what political representation means in this context as well as a
contribution to the 'representative turn' in democratic theory. The
authors address three key themes: * The main actors and channels of
political representation in the EU. * Interlocking levels of
representation in the EU and the way in which national and
supranational representation works. * How the European
institutional system represents EU citizens through law and
administration. Focusing on the importance of representation in the
legitimation of democracy, this book will be of interest to
students and scholars of European Union politics, European studies,
democratic theory, representation studies, civil society and
transnational democracy.
