Abstract

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

Abstract

"In Politics as a Science, two of the world's leading authorities on Comparative Politics, Philippe C. Schmitter and Marc Blecher, provide a lively introduction to the concepts and framework to study and analyze politics. Written with dexterity, concision and clarity, this short text makes no claim to being scientific. It contains no disprovable hypotheses, no original collection of evidence, and no search for patterns of association. Instead, Schmitter and Blecher keep the text broadly conceptual and theoretical to convey their vision of the sprawling subject of politics. They map the process in which researchers try to specify the goal of the trip, some of the landmarks likely to be encountered en route, and the boundaries that will circumscribe the effort. Examples, implications and elaborations are included in footnotes throughout the book. Politics as a Science is an ideal introduction for anyone interested in, or studying, Comparative Politics"-- Provided by publisher.
