Description: This title answers the question 'which institutional architecture for which kind of democracy for the EU?' by bringing two debates together - the institutional analysis of the Union and its democratic assessment. The authors examine a series of institutional architectures in light of the democratic quality of the processes and decisions generated by them. The discussion of these various institutional architectures is preceded by an analysis of the democratic values and principles according to which institutional architectures and governance structures should be assessed.
