The Principle of Participatory Democracy in the European Union
Gloria Golmohammadi
This book offers the first complete legal doctrinal map of the principle of participatory democracy enshrined in the EU Treaties.
It traces the principle’s origins, its theoretical underpinnings and identifies key legal rights and obligations which follow from it. Against the backdrop of representative democracy in crises, the book unpacks the Treaty promise of citizens participating in the democratic life of the Union including its law and rule-making. Case studies, related to participation in EU law-making, are assessed to determine whether institutional practices adhere to or conflict with the identified legal obligations.
