Pełny opis

This book examines how intellectual and political elites have worked to construct and legitimize European integration as a democratic political entity. From the early ideas advanced by Altiero Spinelli in 1949 to the Conference on the Future of Europe, it traces how maximalist federalists, academics, civil society organizations, and segments of actors within EU institutions have contributed to legitimizing the idea that the EU is or ought to be a democracy. Moreover, the book seeks to analyze the differing and at times opposing visions of democracy advanced by these elites. In doing so, it demonstrates anew that democracy is often constructed by elites rather than by ordinary citizens, thereby legitimizing conceptions of democracy that are more elitist than democracy driven by the broader citizenry. This book will be of interest to researchers and advanced students of political sociology and political science, as well as the history and political theory of the European Union.
