While the general question of how to conceptualize democracy looms large and is implicated throughout, the focus is on the practical question of how to remedy what is widely referred to as the European Union&#8217;s &#8216;democratic deficit&#8217;. Starting from the observation that referenda have historically been used in the European Union at various national levels to resolve very important indeed fundamentalpolitical questions, the project proposes a role for <em>Europe-wide referenda in which all European citizens participate qua European citizens<\/em>. The proposed institutional figure is subject to a number of objections, philosophical, legal and politicalpractical all of these should be answerable with some thoroughness and significant clarity, given the intrinsic capacity of democracy&#8217;s values to compel and the nature of the argument explored.   <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adjunct Professor in Political Science at CUNY &#8211; Brookly &amp; Hunter College, New York NY USA Research project title:Democracy, Referendum and European Union Research abstract: This project investigates the relationship [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":1688,"template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"position":[213],"institute":[],"class_list":["post-8172","member","type-member","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","position-former-fellow"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/normativeorders.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/member\/8172"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/normativeorders.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/member"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/normativeorders.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/member"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/normativeorders.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/normativeorders.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1688"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/normativeorders.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8172"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"position","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/normativeorders.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/position?post=8172"},{"taxonomy":"institute","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/normativeorders.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/institute?post=8172"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
