Presentation of the book
The evolving European Union brings up vital questions about where democracy is heading.
The book contributes to this discussion by offering critical appraisals and constructive propositions by eminent experts engaging with the novel configuration of 'multilayered representation'.
Key issues are the 'European Multilevel Parliamentary Field', the role of European Jurisprudence for representation, and the emerging European public sphere.
