Summary:

The EU is composed of representative democracies (its member states) and is itself a representative democracy, since citizens elect the members of the European Parliament and (indirectly) the ministers in the Council of the European Union. How to improve the effectiveness and legitimacy of this compound system has been the subject of much debate.

With institutional change back on the agenda, frequent and severe crises rocking the EU and the extension of EU action into new and highly contested areas, this volume offers ways of thinking through this predicament, and some possible ways out.
