| Summary |
"'Reflections on democracy in the European Union', with a foreword by Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, offers an interdisciplinary approach on EU democracy, law and politics from economic, juridical and philosophical perspectives. It is divided in three parts and deals with EU's contemporary challenges, its historical development, democracy and rule of law. The volume connects the EU's present to the past in order to reflect on possible future scenarios - which is especially important in these turbulent times after Brexit."--Page 4 of cover |
