The Prospects for EU Democracy After Eastern Enlargement
Research question/goal:
It was the objective of this co-operative project to engage in primary research in order to enhance our understanding of the legitimacy and the democratic quality of European Union government. This objective was reached by the development of a normative theoretical framework of legitimate democratic government including three basic dimensions: identity, representation and accountability, and performance; and an empirical evaluation by means of public opinion surveys and content analysis of the performance of the European Union on each of these dimensions.
