Democracy in Europe

The book explores the complexities of the European Community's evolution, particularly regarding its political implications and democratic structure. The author advocates for a flexible system that incorporates direct democratic tools, like referenda, to enhance political accountability. This approach aims to address the gap left by the 1957 EC Treaty, which focused on economic integration while neglecting the necessary democratic framework for a fully integrated Europe. The discussion emphasizes the importance of adapting decision-making processes to foster a more democratic European Union.
