Reviews

The book covers a lot of conceptual and empirical ground. It offers a rich analysis of the democratic challenges facing the European Union and a tightly argued case for why democratic legitimacy is important and how it could be achieved. ... this is a stimulating book that deserves to be read by all those interested in the future of the European Union. * Dr Paolo Dardanelli, The Journal of Federalism *
