  1. Participatory Democracy, Civil Society and Social Europe

    Participatory Democracy, Civil Society and Social Europe

    A Legal and Political Perspective
    Book | 1st edition 2016 | Europe | Gautier Busschaert
    Whereas participatory democracy was traditionally meant to further the maximum participation of citizens in political life, the EU supports a modern version of the participatory ideal where citizens are represented by a selfdesignated elite of civil society experts. This book takes a critical stance on that technocratic form of government. At the same time, it examines whether there are realistic ways for a bureaucratic organization like the EU to involve a truly civil society of active citizens in governance.
