After the participative and deliberative turns in both democratic
theory and EU studies, we are currently witnessing a
'representative turn' to which this volume contributes by
addressing the relation between representation and democracy in the
EU. Although in the Lisbon Treaty the EU conceives itself as a
representative democracy, the meaning of this concept in a
supranational polity is far from clear - either in theory or
practice. Instead, the historically contingent link between
representation and democracy is today severely challenged by
various processes of diversification at all levels of political
action (national, regional, supranational). These processes
challenge our understanding of representative democracy as
involving electoral democracy within clearly delineated
nation-states, provoking a situation in which 'new frontiers' of
representation develop. Consequently, it becomes increasingly
difficult to provide normative standards as well as accurate
assessments of democratic representation in the EU. This volume
addresses these core challenges of representative democracy in the
EU from normative, theoretical and methodological perspectives.
This book was published as a special issue of the Journal of
European Public Policy.
