EU Law: Text, Cases, and Materials

Product Information

The focus in the second half of the chapter shifts to democracy itself, and analysis of the burgeoning literature concerned with the nature of EU democracy, the extent to which the EU suffers from a democratic deficit and the ways in which it can be alleviated. There is a significant measure of agreement as to the problematic features within the EU from a democratic perspective. The scholarly divergence turns on differences as to the importance of different factors in assessing EU democracy, which leads to differences of view on aspects of the democratic deficit critique. The discussion will draw on insights from integration theory where relevant to the inquiry.

These tensions were readily apparent in the third period, which covers the Constitutional Treaty and the Lisbon Treaty. Treaty reform is a continuation of politics by other means. It is not therefore surprising that institutional issues from the previous decade dominated debates on more comprehensive Treaty reform, including the appropriate distribution of legislative power, coupled with contestation as to the locus of executive power. These were the prominent themes in the debates on Treaty reform. It is clear that while most believed in institutional balance, they differed markedly as to what this should entail.

It was hoped that after a decade of Treaty reform, in which institutional issues dominated the agenda, that the EU could give closer attention to substantive issues. This aspiration was qualified by reality. The EU was beset by a series of crises, which had implications for the powers of the respective EU institutions and the institutional balance between them. The financial crisis, Brexit, the rule of crisis, immigration, and the pandemic all tested the EU institutional machinery and wrought changes thereto.All chapters have been carefully structured and designed to enhance student learning at all levels, laying the foundations of the subject while building analysis of more complex areas and cutting edge debates.
