The COVID-19 pandemic has presented an important case study, on a
global scale, of how democracy works - and fails to work - today.
From leadership to citizenship, from due process to checks and
balances, from globalization to misinformation, from solidarity
within and across borders to the role of expertise, key democratic
concepts both old and new are now being put to the test. The future
of democracy around the world is at issue as today's governments
manage their responses to the pandemic. Bringing together some of
today's most creative thinkers, these essays offer a variety of
inquiries into democracy during the global pandemic with a view to
imagining post-crisis political conditions. Representing different
regions and disciplines, including law, politics, philosophy,
religion, and sociology, eighteen voices offer different outlooks -
optimistic and pessimistic - on the future.
Joseph Weiler's The Transformation of Europe is one of the most
influential works in the history of European studies. Twenty-five
years after its original publication, this new collection of essays
pays tribute to Weiler's legacy by discussing some of the most
pressing issues in contemporary European Union law, policy and
constitutionalism. The book does not intend to be a simple
expression of intellectual esteem for Weiler's seminal work;
instead, the collection honours it by critically engaging with some
of its assumptions and theses. Overall, it shows how a study of
1991 can still be fundamental to the present and future of the EU,
including the challenges of Brexit and Eurozone crises.
The European Union seems to have rescued its single currency, but
it has not yet put an end to the crisis. In this major new book, a
group of fifteen international philosophers, economists, political
scientists, sociologists and legal experts compare the various
interpretations of the European crisis (economic, political,
constitutional, social and cultural). They describe the challenges
the EU faces in relation to legitimacy and democracy and address
head on the uncertainty over the future of Europe. The book
consider different possible scenarios: from the Union's
dissolution, with or without the continuation of the integration
process, to its reinforcement, through the building of a political
Union addressing the challenges of legitimacy, democracy and
justice. Such a strengthened Union could mark a new stage for
democracy, not the democracy of ancient cities and modern states,
but the one convenient to the complex entities, neither national
nor supra-national, of which the European Union, despite the
crisis, is still today the best example.
