doi:10.5771/9783845297415

Summary

Angesichts der Krisen, die die Europäische Union seit einigen Jahren erschüttern, von der Finanzkrise bis hin zur Flüchtlingskrise und zum Brexit-Votum verstärken sich Skepsis und Ablehnung; eine drohende Legitimationskrise zwingt zur Analyse nicht nur der Ursachen sondern auch der Potentiale einer Stärkung der Legitimation. Dieser Band beruht auf den Beiträgen und Diskussionen zweier Konferenzen des European Constitutional Law Network (ECLN) über demokratietheoretische Grundlagen, eine Analyse der Ursachen der Finanzkrise und der Rolle der Gerichte bei ihrer Bewältigung, den Schutz der Grundrechte der Unionsbürger und die Stärkung von Bürgernähe und Partizipation durch Digitalisierung bis hin zu konkreten Reformvorschlägen. Ein dialogischer Epilog von Joseph Weiler und einigen der Autoren gibt Anregungen zur weiteren Diskussion und Reflektion, auf die es in den kommenden Jahren ankommt, wenn die EU als demokratische Union der Bürger aus den Krisen hervorgehen und sich weiter entwickeln soll.
