Reinvigorating European Elections : The Implications of Electing the European Commission Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

For a quarter of a century Europe's citizens have been able to elect members of the European Parliament.

Yet, rather than generating interest in European political affairs, EP elections have been characterized by low turnout and a focus on national rather than European affairs.

At the same time, there are claims that the European Union is suffering from a ""democratic deficit."" What can be done to overcome these problems?

This book argues that European elections should contribute directly to the formation of the European Commission, a key part of the Union's executive.

This could be done by direct or indirect election of the Commission President or the whole College of Commissioners, depending on whether one favors a parliamentary or a presidential system of government.
