Beschreibung

In recent years serious concerns have emerged over the state of European democracy. Richard Youngs argues that governments, EU institutions, political parties, citizens and civil society organizations have gradually begun to push back in defence of democracy. This book argues that the pro-democratic fightback may be belated, but it is real and has assumed significant traction with various types of democratic reform underway, including citizen initiatives, political-party changes, digital activism and EU-level responses.

Leserkritik

There is immense concern today about the troubles facing democracy in Europe. While most scholars and commentators have focused on analyzing the causes of the troubles, Rebuilding European Democracy examines the resistance to democratic decay and budding attempts to renew democracy from within. Revitalizing democracy in Europe and across the globe requires understanding the reasons for democratic dissatisfaction as well as coming up with effective responses to it. Rebuilding European Democracy is an important contribution to this latter effort.
