Democracy in the EMU in the Aftermath of the Crisis

The book covers some of the major issues concerning the problematic relationship between respect for democratic principles and the new European Economic Governance. Innovative approaches are highlighted throughout the book: new frameworks and arrangements are proposed on the basis of efficiency analyses, as well as their institutional and legal suitability. Though the perspective adopted is essentially a legal one, the economic and policy background are also given due consideration.The papers presented here offer a balanced mix of empirical (including comparative) and theoretical analysis; several also combine the two approaches, carrying out empirical analyses, then setting the results against theoretical options. Given the relative dearth of literature on democratic principles and the EMU, let alone a comprehensive enquiry, the book marks a valuable new contribution.

Assesses to what extent the democratic principle is respected in the context of the new European governance Explores possible new avenues to reduce, if not completely overcome, the problem Offers a law and economic approach Addresses researchers, lawyers and law firms across Europe that handle banking law cases
