| Description: |
This work addresses the challenges of the EU to democratic theory. The existence of the EU proves that the sovereign state cannot remain the sole focus of normative reflection. This volume combines political science and theory to offer concepts, arguments and criteria that further this debate. |
| Synopsis: |
The volume at hand contains invited papers addressing the normative is- sues of democracy and the European Union. Most papers were fIrst discussed at the conference "Democracy and the European Union", held in Oslo on Au- gust 8-10, 1996, with the support of the Norwegian research programme Ad- vanced Research on the Europeanisation of the Nation-State (ARENA). The editors wish to thank the organisers and participants of the Oslo con- ference. They are grateful to Kristin Johansen and Simen Brrein for managing the conference, to Anna Maria Hauk and Victoria Pogosian for professional assistance with the manuscript, and to Andreas Holm Bakke and Torstein Buggeland for generating the index.
