A contradictory creation indeed, the european Union (EU) has most of the institutions of a modern democracy, yet it does not function as one. Moreover, the growing scope of activity and supranational decision-making processes are undermining the legitimacy of democracy in its member states. Although much has been written about this double “democratic deficit”, surprisingly little thought has been given to what to do about it – short of drafting and ratifying a new federal constitution. In this provocative book, Philippe Schmitter explores both the possibility and the desirability of democratizing the EU. He argues that as a “non-state” and a “non-nation” it will have to invent new forms of citizenship, representation, and decision-making if it is ever to democratize itself. The author also contends that the timing and political context work against a full-scale constitutionalization of the process. He proposes a number of modest (and some less modest) reforms that could improve the situation in the near future and eventually lead to a genuine Euro-democracy

Roland Erne's view of transnational trade union networks challenges the assertion that no realistic prospect exists for remedying the European Union's democratic deficit-that is, its domination by corporate interests and lack of a cohesive European people. His book describes the emergence of a European trade union movement that crosses national boundaries. Erne assesses national and EU-level trade union politics in two core areas: wage bargaining in the European Monetary Union and job protection during transnational corporate mergers and restructuring. The wage coordination policies of the European metal and construction workers' unions and the unions' responses in the ABB-Alstom Power and Alcan-Pechiney-Algroup merger cases, Erne finds, show that the activities of labor are not confined to the national level: labor's policies have undergone Europeanization. This cross-national borrowing of tactics is itself proof of the increasing integration of European states and societies.European Unions is based on an exceptionally wide range of research methods, including statistical analysis, participant observation, and interviews with EU-level, national, and local trade unionists and works councilors. It also draws on a wide range of European, German, French, Italian, and Swiss union documents and a multilingual body of academic literature across several disciplines, including political science, sociology, and law. Erne's multilevel inquiry goes beyond country-by-country comparisons of national cases and his book will prove of great relevance to readers interested in the future of labor, social justice, and democracy in an increasingly integrated world.

"Comment contenir le déferlement de la vague populiste qui risque de balayer nos démocraties ? Comment prévenir l’éclatement de l’Union européenne ? Pour en finir avec des politiques économiques disqualifiées, mettre l’austérité en minorité et lutter contre les inégalités, il est urgent de démocratiser le gouvernement de la zone euro. Rédigé par une équipe pluridisciplinaire de juristes, politistes et économistes, repris par Benoît Hamon, le projet de traité, ici présenté et commenté, institue une Assemblée parlementaire de la zone euro permettant de promouvoir la justice fiscale et sociale. Le traité peut être adopté en l’état par les pays qui s’y rallieront. Le texte est précédé d’une introduction qui expose sa mise en œuvre de façon pédagogique. L’objectif est que chaque citoyen s’empare du débat européen et que les différentes forces sociales et politiques contribuent à améliorer ce projet et à nous sortir de la sinistrose ambiante."
