Contribution after contribution, the book dazzles the reader with its combination of conceptual innovations, scholarly depth and practical relevance. Thankfully, the collective wisdom distilled by the editors still gives us hope for democratic recovery in Europe. Kalypso Nicolaidis, Professor of International Relations, University of Oxford We used to have policies without politics in the European Union, and this was seen as a serious handicap. The economic crisis has now made it all much more political, but can Europe cope? Trust is low, the economics flawed and the politics often toxic. And perhaps, the problem goes much deeper and also extends beyond the boundaries of the EU: a crisis of the global economic order? This collection of essays on democratic politics in an EU under stress offers a plurality of views of leading experts and extremely valuable insights: a must read. Loukas Tsoukalis, Professor of European Integration, Univeristy of Athens This volume addresses the key question of the Unionas current predicament: will the Euro crisis strengthen the weak political foundations of the EU or will it ultimately undermine them? Approaching the question from different perspectives, the authors analyse central concerns: the unreflective projection of legitimacy and democracy from the national to the EU level; citizensa ambiguous attitudes towards the EU; and the response capacity of national and European institutions. As such, the individual contributions offer an excellent evaluation of the state of the post-crisis EU and insightful ideas about its future. Stefano Bartolini, Professor of Comparative Politics, European University Institute In this major new study, Pedersen portrays the League as an awkward and conflicted undertaking that nonetheless put in motion the decline of imperialism and the spread of national self- determination.
