The past 15 years have seen declining public support for European integration, and widespread suggestions that a legitimacy crisis faces the European Union (EU). Many in the EU have believed that this problem could be effectively tackled by vesting greater powers in the European Parliament (EP), the Union's only directly-elected institution. The central argument of this book is that, while considerable efforts have been made to increase the status of the EP, it is in crucial respects a failure as a representative body. This failure is grounded in the manner in which the parliament is elected. The electoral systems used for EP elections in many EU countries are, we argue, actively obstructive of Europe's voters being represented in the way that they are most likely to respond positively towards. While the behaviour of EP members is shaped strongly by the electoral systems under which they are elected (which vary across the 25 member-states of the EU), the electoral systems currently in place push most of them to behave in ways contrary to what citizens desire. Drawing on public opinion data, surveys of MEPs and considerable qualitative interview evidence, we show that the failure of parliamentary representation in the EU has a strong foundation in electoral institutions.

This book is a study of the multiple meanings of European citizenship, which has been represented and publicly communicated by the European Commission in five distinctive ways – Homo Oeconomicus (1951-1972), A People's Europe (1973-1992), Europe of Transparency (1993-2004), Europe of Agorai (2005-2009) and Europe of Rights (2010-2014). The public communication of these five distinct representations of European citizenship reveal how the European Commission conceived of and attempted to facilitate the development of a Civil Europe. Ultimately this history, which is based upon an analysis of public communication policy papers and interviews with senior European Commission officials past and present, tells a story about changing identities and about who we as Europeans might actually be and what kind of Europe we might actually belong to.

How can the European Union engage and connect with the people it aims to represent? What initiatives and schemes have been used to engage EU citizens? To what extent can such procedures be considered a move forward towards a more participative and democratic Europe? This collection of internationally recognised specialists in European integration and innovative democratic practices seek to answer these key questions, explore European citizens' thoughts and opinions about the EU and evaluate the governing elite's attempts to engage with the public. It offers critical analysis of EU justifications and strategies for implementing Deliberative Citizens Involvement Projects and focuses on some of the major participative experiences trialled and implemented by EU institutions. By comparing these different attempts to increase and bolster the participation of EU citizens and evaluating their impact the book offers valuable and original material on the civic involvement of EU citizens and the legitimacy of the EU decision making process.

This book seeks to analyse the impact of globalisation, European integration, mass migration, changing patterns of political participation and welfare state provision upon citizenship in Europe. Uniting theory with empirical examples, the central theme of the book is that how we view such changes is dependent upon how we view citizenship theoretically. The authors analyse the three main theoretical approaches to citizenship: [1] classical positions (liberal, communitarian, and republican), primarily concerned with questions of rights and responsibilities; [2] multiculturalist and feminist theories, concerned with the question of difference; and [3] postnational or cosmopolitan theories which emphasise how citizen rights and behaviours are increasingly located beyond the nation state. Using these theoretical perspectives, the second section of the book assesses four key social, economic and political developments which pose challenges for citizenship in Europe: migration, political participation, the welfare state and European integration. These, it is argued, represent the most significant challenges to and for citizenship in contemporary Europe. Key Features Emphasises the importance of theories of citizenship in the analysis of key issues affecting contemporary Europe Offers a clear, accessible introduction to key themes and debates in citizenship theory Combines a broad theoretical and empirical focus Includes primary material in the empirical sections, contributing new ideas to the understanding of key issues in European politics

This Standard Eurobarometer survey was carried out between 8 and 17 November 2014 in 35 countries and territories: the 28 Member States of the European Union, the six candidate countries (the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Turkey, Iceland, Montenegro, Serbia and Albania) and the Turkish Cypriot Community in the part of the country not controlled by the government of the Republic of Cyprus. The European Commission presided over by Jean-Claude Junker took office on 1 November 2014. As the votes cast by European citizens in the European elections of May 2014 had influenced the choice of President of the Commission, it is interesting to analyse the evolutions in their answers to the questions on the theme of European citizenship. 2014 was marked by the centenary commemoration of the outbreak of the First World War. Simultaneously, the Ukrainian crisis represents the return of armed conflict on the European Union's doorstep.^As peace between the Member States is perceived as one of the main achievements of European integration, it is appropriate to examine any changes in the way Europeans define European identity and its values.^This Standard Eurobarometer survey of autumn 2014 provides some answers, and approaches the theme of European citizenship from the following angles: - Attachment to the European Union; - Perceptions of the European Union's achievements: what do European citizens see as the European Union's most positive results? - The concepts of European citizenship and identity: do Europeans see themselves as European citizens? How can this feeling be strengthened? Do they know their rights as European citizens? Do they want more information on the subject? - The openness of Europeans: have Europeans travelled to neighbouring EU countries or socialised with other EU citizens, do they take an interest in European culture or shop in other EU countries? - Values: what values do Europeans most readily associate with the European Union? What are their personal values? The full report of the Standard Eurobarometer 82 consists of several volumes.^The first volume presents the main public opinion trends in the European Union. Three other volumes present the opinions of Europeans on other themes: the Europe 2020 strategy; European citizenship; and media use in the European Union. This volume is devoted to European citizenship. The general analysis and the socio-demographic analyses are based on the average results of the 28 Member States. This average is weighted so that it reflects the population of each Member State. The averages for the previous surveys represent the results obtained in all the Member States of the European Union, as it was composed at the time the survey was conducted.
