OverviewThis is a review of democracy in the European Union. It deals with the two major challenges of interest articulation in the EU, political parties and lobbying; discusses how democracy becomes the key element in the linkage between the EU and its member states - using France, Italy and Belgium as examples; focuses on democratic aspects of key EU institutions - the European Council, the European Commission and the European Parliament; and it looks at democracy in relation to possible EU development generally, and in the context of societal change which may tend to undermine the role of parliamentary institutions.
