Más información sobre el libro

The paper examines the notion of a democratic deficit within the European Union, offering a thorough analysis of democracy and the reasons behind this perception. It argues that the EU's structure contributes to this deficit, highlighting issues such as the dominance of the executive branch, insufficient accountability of institutions, opaque decision-making processes, and the limited powers of the European Parliament. The author presents a compelling case for the existence of a democratic deficit, supported by various arguments and critical insights into the EU's political framework.
