This book examines accountability in the EU from different
perspectives and considers whether EU citizens have real
opportunities for holding decision-makers accountable. This book
critically analyses five arguments which claim there are sufficient
means for holding decision-makers to account in the Union. The
authors examine: The argument that we should rethink the meaning of
accountability in the EU context The claim that there is no
accountability deficit in the EU because member states have the
power to retrieve all delegated competencies The assertion that EU
citizens have effective mechanisms for holding those responsible
for legislative decision-making to account The contention that the
arrangements that obtain at present for holding the executive power
in the EU to account are acceptable The belief that the involvement
of organised civil society can work as an alternative to
traditional forms of accountability The main conclusion is that the
current institutional set-up and practice of decision-making in the
EU is one that merely creates an illusion of accountability. Using
a strict framework focusing on the difference between formal
mechanisms and actual opportunities for accountability, this highly
coherent volume will be of interest to students and scholars of
European politics, especially those interested in the democratic
foundations of the European political system.
