... challenging and highly informative ... The book is attractively written, full of incisive aperçus and serves as a very useful introduction to this vital and visceral aspect of the Union's development. The presentation is to the point, constructive and deftly delivered.

Public Law

This work approaches the issue of democratic deficit from the angle of accountability, seen in contemporary society as an essential element of democratic government. It looks at differing understandings of the concept in the Member States and at various techniques - political, legal, and managerial - by which accountability can be assured. These include the Parliament as well as national parliaments but extend to less familiar institutions, such as the European Court of Auditors.
