商品簡介
Bringing together contributors from the fields of law, political science, sociology, and political philosophy, Kohler-Koch (European integration, U. of Mannheim, Germany) and Rittberger (political science and contemporary history, U. of Mannheim) present 13 papers that debate issues of democratic legitimacy in the European Union. Among the issues explored are the ability of national parliaments to affect European Union policy, the relationship between the policy making functions of the European Parliament and popular legitimacy, the role of stakeholder networks in deliberating policy, collective learning and the development of European identity, competing conceptions of participatory democracy, and the supremacy of EU law as a resolution to the problem of extraterritorial effects of national policies.
