The European Union has a democracy problem. The polycrisis that has
plagued the EU for years has led to a cacophony of voices calling
for fundamental change to the integration project. Yet despite the
shock of the Brexit referendum and the electoral upsets caused by
nativist parties across the continent, few of the plans for EU
reform include concrete proposals to address the perennial
democratic deficit. This volume looks at how the relationship
between citizens, the state and EU institutions has changed in a
multi-layered Union. As such, it focuses more on polity than on
populism, and does not engage deeply with policy or output
legitimacy. Building on the notion of increasing social, economic
and political interdependence across borders, this book asks
whether a sense of solidarity and European identity can be rescued
from the bottom up by empowering citizens to 'take back control' of
their Union. Direct Democracy in the EU: The Myth of a Citizens'
Union is part of the 'Towards a Citizens' Union' project and is the
product of collaboration with 20 renowned think tanks from the
European Policy Institutes Network (EPIN). It is the first of three
publications that will also cover the state of representative
democracy in the EU and the accountability of democratic
institutions.
