OverviewContributors to this volume address important issues about the terms of representation in politics beyond the state. If the traditional structures of the national state are no longer the ideal or sole ‘container’ of political life, how can we ensure that interests and demands can have access to decision-making? One possible advantage is that new opportunities may open up for parts of civil society whose previous access to political power was circumscribed. The central focus of the volume is on the extent to which governance, and all it implies for new forms of governing, addresses as well as raises issues about the legitimate basis for democratic rule beyond the boundaries of the state. The volume relates to the interests of political philosophers and policy analysts interested in issues of legitimacy and representation in the European Union. -- .
