How can we explain the type of cooperation that the EU is based on? What are the integrative forces in the EU? This is a presentation of a theoretical approach which enables us to think of democracy at a supra-national level.

"This book takes a wide-ranging approach to tackle the complex question of the current state of constitutional democracy in the EU. It brings together a broad set of academics and practitioners, legal and political perspectives, focusing on both topical and perennial issues concerning constitutional democracy (including safeguarding the rule of law and respect for fundamental rights) in theory and practice, primarily at EU level but also with due regard to national and global developments. This approach underlines that rather than a single problématique to be analysed and resolved, we are presently facing a kaleidoscopic spectrum of related challenges that influence each other in elusive, multifaceted ways. Critical Reflections on Constitutional Democracy in the European Union offers a rich analysis of the issues as well as concrete policy recommendations, which will appeal to scholars and practitioners, students and interested citizens alike. It provides a meaningful contribution to the rich array of existing scholarship and debate, by proposing original elements of analysis, challenging often-made assumptions, destabilising settled understandings and proposing fundamental reforms. Overall, the collection injects a set of fresh critical perspectives on this fundamental issue that is as contemporary as it is eternal"--

L'Union européenne engendre-t-elle un déni de démocratie ? En prônant le retour à l'Europe des nations, les adversaires de la technocratie bruxelloise dénoncent la confiscation du pouvoir populaire. Leur argumentaire est rôdé : dans le huis-clos des réunions entre dirigeants, dans l'opacité feutrée de cénacles qui semblent n'avoir de comptes à rendre à personne sinon aux lobbies et aux thinks tanks, la légitimité démocratique s'exténue. Ce livre montre pourtant que le souverainisme, qui confine la politique à l'État-nation, est une illusion philosophique et une erreur pratique. Les principes de la démocratie moderne (peuple, citoyenneté, volonté générale) ne sont pas niés par le projet européen, ils peuvent y trouver l'occasion d'un approfondissement. Pour combattre l'impasse souverainiste, l'Union européenne doit faire de la solidarité sa nouvelle finalité et mettre en œuvre un fédéralisme social, fiscal et environnemental. Ancré dans la théorie de la république fédérative issue de Montesquieu et des fédéralistes américains, son régime pourra alors conjuguer fédération démocratique et souveraineté du peuple
