Democratic Decision-Making in the Eu

Technocracy in Disguise?

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book examines the democratic legitimacy of the European Union (EU) and evaluates the democratic credentials of the EU's main decision-making procedure. It finds that though there is potential for democratic decision-making in the EU, the actual process is dominated by technocrats and secret meetings.
