Description

The power of the European Parliament has been steadily and visibly increasing in recent years. At the same time, however, the already low rate of turnout in European elections has declined. Based on extensive new data, this important study probes the foundations of participation, democracy, and legitimacy in the European Union, and examines the ways in which participation and democratic representation might be enhanced.
