The European Union is grappling with a democracy problem. The
succession of crises which have plagued the increasingly executive
EU for years, has led to a rising cacophony of voices calling for
fundamental change to the integration project. Yet despite the
seismic shock of the Brexit referendum and the electoral upsets by
nativist parties across the continent, few of the plans for EU
reform include concrete proposals to reduce the age-old democratic
deficit. This book is concerned with the two-pronged question of
how the relationship between citizens, the state and EU
institutions has changed, and how direct democratic participation
can be improved in a multi-layered Union. As such, this edited
volume focuses not on populism per se, nor does it deeply engage
with policy and output legitimacy. Rather, the research is
concerned with process and polity. Building on the notion of
increasing social, economic and political interdependence across
borders, this volume asks how a sense of solidarity and European
identity can be rescued from the bottom up by politically
empowering citizens to 'take back control' of their EU.
