This book provides a comprehensive overview of the party finance
regime at the level of the European Union. Based on an in-depth
analysis of the interaction between European political parties and
their institutional environment, it shows how the Europarties have
coped with - and altered - the funding rules. The book explains why
increasing party subsidies have been made available, and why
considerable differences exist in how Eurosceptic and pro-European
parties have used their EU funding. It also examines how party
finance reform at the EU level has been at the centre of party
competition, by demonstrating how the rules were strategically
changed to benefit some European parties over others. Considering
the strong democratic aspirations that lay at the origins of the
finance regime, the book explores its consequences for party
democracy and the rule of law in Europe. This book is valuable for
scholars working on the European Parliament, Eurosceptic parties,
EU decision-making, (European) party politics and political
finance.
