Abstract

Europe is trapped, Fritz Scharpf says, between national democracies undermined by nonpolitical forces and a European democracy paralysed by consensus and veto. Legitimate reform, he argues, must allow democracy to flourish on both levels at the same time, even if ‘European integration’ loses some of its unitary appeal in the process.
