The latest EU-Commission President Elections and the role of the European Parliament

Mehr zum Buch

The essay critically examines the role of the European Parliament in the recent EU-Commission President Elections, highlighting concerns about the democratic deficit within the Union. It challenges the notion that enhancing the significance of citizens' votes merely by framing them as votes for the Commission President is sufficient to address deeper democratic issues. The analysis draws on recent literature to argue for a more substantial understanding of citizen engagement in the electoral process.
